Seed of JoyYU-KI
Speaking of female vocalists I personally love, it’s YUKI.
This song is one of her laid-back solo tracks.
It feels like it fulfilled my wish to enjoy YUKI’s vocals in a calm, mellow mood.
I feel that the closer a song is to a cappella, the more you can savor the character of the vocalist.
Always With MeKimura Yumi
It’s a piece from Ghibli’s Spirited Away.
The harp and the clear, translucent soprano vocals match so well that, even setting aside the Ghibli factor, it feels like a song that could easily become famous.
It’s truly wonderful.
While it’s hard to combine with other tracks in a general playlist, it actually fits better when you slip it into a playlist of vocal or classical vocal music.
