Jpop Recommend #55 Happiness by Che'Nelle

Happiness　

Che'Nelle　

Released in November 2014, this song is her newest single.  Born in Malaysia and raised up in Australia, she can't speak Japanese that well, but her song seems to have a power to convey the message of the lyrics very well.  This song instantly gained popularity when it was used in the drama, "Dear Sister" starred by Nao Matsushita and Satomi Ishihara.  If you haven't watched the drama yet, I recommend you to watch it, too.  There is no "evil" person in this drama and the story warms up my heart.  

piano version ft. Nao Matsushita
