Let’s talk slowly today.ZARD

ZARD cover: Let's talk slowly today - NyARD

This is the 39th single by ZARD, a musical unit that served as a central presence among Being-affiliated artists who dominated the J-pop scene in the 1990s, releasing numerous million-selling hits such as “Makenaide” and “Yureru Omoi.” Used as the theme song for Gekkeikan’s “Tsuki” commercial, the track is a refreshing number featuring brisk acoustic guitar strumming.

Amid the hustle of passing days and the uncertainty of the future, it reminds us of the importance and preciousness of the peaceful moments spent with a partner.

It’s a perfect song not only for anniversaries, but also as background music for relaxing, unhurried time together.
