I recall writing about a song by Sario Kijima（貴島サリオ）titled "Watashi kara Kiss"（私からキス）, her 1995 7th single, back in June 2018. From her J-Wiki file, it seems as if the singer-songwriter didn't exactly set the music world on fire, and "Watashi kara Kiss" only rose up to No. 76 on Oricon, but it is a nice sunny song to listen to.
My opinion also holds true for her earlier 3rd single, "Positive de Ikou" (Let's Go Positive) from July 1993. It did even more poorly, only peaking at No. 196, but true to its title, it's a happy-happy number that was written and composed by Kohmi Hirose（広瀬香美）, and through Kijima, it indeed sounds like a supremely cheerful Hirose song. Kijima doesn't quite have the super-elastic range that her songwriter does, but dang it, she still reaches for those high notes like a trouper, getting those really nose-bleeder ones just when the song fades out at the end.
