Eris with Azure Eyesanzenchitai
The band Anzen Chitai has produced numerous hit numbers.
From ballads to rock-flavored pop, they’ve turned all kinds of works into popular songs.
The one I’d like to recommend this time is Aoi Hitomi no Erisu (Eris with Azure Eyes).
It’s a gentle ballad, yet it also has well-placed moments of lift.
Rather than a big, explosive build, it’s the kind of song that gives you chills and goosebumps.
Its vocal range is quite narrow at mid1 C to mid2 D#, and the melodic movement is smooth, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

The bittersweetness of the night that resonates with her lustrous singing voice invites you into the world of urban mood music.
Miki Matsubara’s debut single is a gem that sets lingering feelings for a former lover to a disco-style rhythm.
Its appeal lies in the sophisticated atmosphere woven by an urban sound that evokes adult romance and polished English phrases.
Released in November 1979 and included on the album “POCKET PARK,” the track became a major hit, reaching No.
28 on the Oricon charts.
It’s recommended for moments when you want to immerse yourself in precious memories while picturing a city nightscape like a scene from a film.
It’s also cherished as an adult love song that can be sung with a smooth, mellow mood.
It always begins with rain.ASKA
This gentle song, which portrays rain as a symbol of romance, is a signature work from ASKA’s solo career.
Through the motif of rain that deepens the bond between two people, it deftly expresses the anxieties and poignancy of love, as well as the depth of feeling for the other person.
The transparent vocals and delicate melody leave a lingering impression that seeps into the heart.
Upon its release in March 1991, it became explosively popular and achieved million-seller status.
It was also featured as the theme for Panasonic’s HALF stereo system commercial and the film “A Delicious Marriage,” capturing the hearts of many.
It’s a recommended track for those who want to reminisce about rainy-day memories with a loved one or deepen their feelings for someone special.
