Here is “Mabataki,” a tear-jerker from back number that makes you think, “This is what love is!!” It’s not precious things or special events that bring happiness—the lyrics straightforwardly express that simply being by your side is the greatest happiness, the very essence of classic romance.
It’s a song I’d love for couples to listen to together on their anniversary.
It was also the theme song for the film “The 8-Year Engagement,” based on a true miracle, so many listeners may be moved to tears as they recall the movie.

When you’ve been together a long time, you inevitably see many sides of each other—but being able to believe they’re truly one of a kind is what real love is, isn’t it? With a refreshing guitar sound and a catchy pop melody, this number brings a pleasant vibe and is perfect for celebrating a couple’s special day.
