It was released in 1995 as Kohmi Hirose’s seventh single.

The song served a double tie-in as the theme for the “Alpen” commercials and the Toho-distributed film ‘I Want to Fall in Love So Deep the Slopes Melt.’ It reached No.

6 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

Frequently played at ski resorts at the time, it remains a popular winter staple.

BE TOGETHERSuzuki Ami

Ami Suzuki, who debuted from the hugely popular show “ASAYAN.” The song was such a massive hit that just hearing the intro brings back the frenzy of that time.

In fact, the original version of this track is a TM NETWORK song produced in 1987.

Ami Suzuki’s piercing, soaring vocal tone fits the song perfectly.

It’s a bright, pop tune, so it’s also great for livening up class reunions or karaoke with people of the same generation!

When I first heard their songs and saw them on TV, I was surprised—so this is a girls’ band?—and I even felt a bit envious of how good the music was.

With literary lyrics and catchy melodies, they gained widespread popularity.

Shangri-La is a hit song that sets adolescent love to a catchy rhythm.

distress (at sea/in the mountains); being lost; stranded; a disaster situationToukyou Jihen

Tokyo Jihen is often known for jazzy, stylish songs, but I don’t think that’s the impression many women in their 30s have of the Tokyo Jihen they listened to as teens.

Their track “Sounan” captures the early Tokyo Jihen sound: a somewhat jazzy, defeatist-tinged rock.

For women in their 30s, this is probably the kind of melody that comes to mind when they think of Tokyo Jihen.

While the song uses many semitone movements, its overall range is narrow, and the vocal line descends more than it ascends, making it easy to sing in any part.

It’s a perfect pick if you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke.

Speaking of powerful high-tone vocals, Superfly comes to mind.

Superfly’s songs might be a bit challenging to sing, but when you nail them, the crowd is sure to get fired up.

This track is recommended for those with powerful voices who are confident in their vocal ability.

By all means, use your singing skills to elevate the atmosphere.

It’s guaranteed to heat up the room.

Let’s set off in the shining season.Matsuda Seiko

Released in 1994 as Seiko Matsuda’s 38th single.

It was used in a commercial for Takano Yuri Beauty Clinic, and thanks to the song’s success she returned to the 45th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen that year after a six-year absence.

Notably, she performed the rare full, uncut version including the instrumental interlude on the show.

It’s a song that really gets the crowd going when you channel your inner Seiko-chan and sing along.

Pure AsiaPUFFY

It was released in 1996 as PUFFY’s debut single.

Chosen as the song for Kirin Beverage’s “Tennen Sodachi” commercial, it became a million-seller despite being their debut.

It also held the number-one spot on the Oricon Karaoke Chart for 12 consecutive weeks.

With lyrics by Yosui Inoue and music by Tamio Okuda, it was created by a star-studded duo.

It’s a laid-back, effortless tune that’s very easy and fun to sing.
