I should be able to fly (in the sky).Oku Hanako
The gentle yet steadfast singing voice perfectly matches the song’s tender atmosphere, making for a beautifully polished result.
The piano’s sound makes this already gentle piece even softer, while Oku Hanako’s unwavering core draws listeners in.
It’s a sparkling song even when sung by a woman.
Song of SpringFujihara Sakura
This is Sakura Fujiwara’s cover that was used as the theme song for the film March Comes in Like a Lion.
With an arrangement that makes the most of her smoky voice, she truly makes the song her own.
The intro is sung softly, but once the chorus hits, it grabs your heart like a sudden gust of wind.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to alongside the film.

MapleThe Winking Owl
The Winking Owl is captivating for songs where their loud, impactful sound blends beautifully with vocalist Luiza’s stunning voice.
In this track, the acoustic style is a striking departure from their usual image, and that contrast really tugs at you.
While faithfully preserving the gentle, soft atmosphere of the original by Spitz, Luiza’s rich, soulful vocals stand out even more, making it a deeply rewarding cover to listen to.
Before you become a memoryMs. OOJA
Ms.OOJA has released numerous cover albums.
Her husky voice, rich with breath, is soothing.
The languid feel of Spitz is softened, giving the song a more pop-oriented arrangement.
With a firm, resonant voice and clear, soaring high notes, it’s a cover you’ll want to keep listening to.
MapleKamisiraishi Moka
It became a hot topic when it was covered as the song for a Kirin Afternoon Tea commercial in which Moka, the younger sister of Mone Kamishiraishi, appeared herself.
Many of you probably know it.
Unlike her older sister Mone’s gentle, soothing vocals, Moka’s straight, piercing voice heightens the sorrow of parting, which is the theme of the song.
Listening to it along with the commercial’s story almost brings tears to your eyes.
Soulmateurutora tawā
Ultra Tower with male vocals.
Choosing “Unmei no Hito” as a cover is a sharp move.
The slightly languid, androgynous singing voice is addictive.
What’s decisively different is the vocalist’s timbre.
There are many elements not found in the original, so give it a listen.
NagisaMay J.
This is a cover by a songstress who performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen and made her vocal prowess known to the world through karaoke scoring TV programs.
As expected, when a mature woman sings it, the song gains a touch of sensuality and sounds completely different.
May J.’s voice seems to add a more dramatic color to the piece.
