Listen to Hatsukoi
I never would have heard of this artist if it wasn't for this commercial. It's a shame that Kojima Mayumi doesn't have more popularity outside of Japan. Alas, it comes with being a foreign band – naturally I'm sure there's some great Canadian music that people in Japan are discovering now. I couldn't even find a wikipedia article on her. I think it would be fair to describe her music as jazz, with some light rock? Her happy-go-lucky melodies make me wish I knew Japanese (only if the lyrics are happy too, there are some things better left unknown). The tone of some of her songs are similar to Hatsukoi, otherwise they are a lot more uplifting. I enjoyed the album a lot, but Hatsukoi is still my favourite song.
