JPOP

• Namida no Kiss (涙のキッス) – Kiss of Tears by Southern All Stars. I still like this song. One of my favorite songs all time.
• Chrismas Carol no Koro ni wa – The Season of Christmas Carol by Junichi Inagaki. One very sweet and relaxing Japanese Christmas Song.
• Piece of My Wish by 今井美樹. A peaceful lovely song can calm you down a little bit.
• エロチカセブン by Southern All Stars. I like it sometimes when thing does not go so well.
• 空も飛べるはず – Sora Mo Toberu Hazu – I Can Fly Even The Sky by Spitz is one of my favorite Japanese songs. This song was very popular in Japan between 1995-1996, the period of my last stay there. I remember singing this song loudly in a karaoke box with some of my best friends: Yoko-chan, Ogura-san, Muya-san, Suzue-san, Okano-san. I am wondering how they are all doing now?
• True Love by 藤井フミヤ (Fujii Fumiya). This soundtrack song of a winter love story drama long time ago, is still a memorable love song and an easy song to listen.
• 春よ、来い by 松任谷由実 (Haru Yo, Koi / Come here, Spring by Matsutoya Yumi). When will the spring come by? Not so often, I guess.
• 真夏の夜の夢 (Manatsu no Yoru no Yume/Summertime Night Dream) by 松任谷由実 (Matsutoya Yumi). I oversee a very humid hot summer for this song. Even I live in a very hot exotic island at the moment, I can still feel the humidity on my skin when I hear this song.

English

• Robin Thicke’s Lost Without U (Simple but moving. Feel like dancing)
• Superman by Five For Fighting was the song that my daughter used to sing when she was 5 years old. Her favourite phrase was ‘It’s not easy to be me’ .
• Lucky by Jason Mraz. Simple but I like it. Refreshing.
