Jpop Recommend #267 Will by Mika Nakashima

Will

中島 美嘉 Mika Nakashima


Released in August 2002, this song is her 5th single.  
Her mellow voice and a bit sad tune makes me pose and look back the past for a moment at the end of the year.   

If you like her song, please try other songs like, "雪の華 yuki no hana" and "桜色舞うころ sakura iro mau koro"

May the new year 2019 be a fruitful year for everyone!
Happy new year~~~




Covered by Boyz II Men
