"Yasashii Kimochi" (やさしい気持ち, Kind Feelings) is a song by Chara, released as the first single from her 1997 album Junior Sweet.[1] The song was used in a Shiseido commercial for their 'Tessera J' range. The B-side of this single, Junior Sweet, was also used in these commercials.

The song debuted at #10 on Oricon charts.[2] Four weeks later, it reached its peak of #7.[3] It stayed on the charts for 16 weeks,[4] eventually selling approximately 520,000 copies.[5]

When the Junior Sweet was released, the song featured as a different version with a drawn-out introduction, labelled the Shiawase Version (しあわせ・ヴァージョン, Happy Version).

In 2009, the pop/hiphop duo Halcali heavily sampled Yasashii Kimochi in their single Re:Yasashii Kimochi[6] The new lyrics written by Halcali and their producer Pal@pop,[7] act as an 'answer song' to the original lyrics.
