Jpop Recommend #429 Kotaeawase by JUJU

こたえあわせ Kotaeawase
JUJU


Released in November 2021, this is her 41th (!) single.  This song was used as a theme song for a drama, "恋です! 〜ヤンキー君と白杖ガール〜, Koi desu!~Yankee kun to hakujyou girl~".  Unlike her other songs, this song has no jazzy essence but is filled with pure cuteness.   

The drama was originated from manga and I love the drama so as this song.  So I strongly recommend to watch the drama as well.  It has a healing effect.

If you like her hasky voice, please try her other songs like:

#274 この夜を止めてよ Kono yoru wo tometeyo by Juju
Another sad love ballad by husky voice female singer
Recommended to listen when you feels that love is nearing to its end

#196 Playback by Juju
Sexy summer tune for girls
Recommended when you are enjoying the summer
