The lyrics, which portray a straightforward and heartrending love story, are also a highlight.
Listening to this gently resonant love song will soothe your heart.
With its slow tempo and minimal pitch variation, it’s also recommended for karaoke beginners.
Why not let their gentle vocals, which remind you of human warmth, bring you comfort?
forever; for good; indefinitelyBEGIN
A heartwarming song about building a future together with someone special.
The gentle tones of the sanshin and Eisho Higa’s expressive vocals draw you into a relaxed mood.
Even if you can’t choose where you were born and raised, anywhere becomes a “hometown” as long as you’re with the one you love.
That hopeful feeling is easy to imagine even without reading the lyrics.
Released in February 2004 as one of the tracks on a double A-side single, it also became well known as the commercial song for Marukin Chuyu’s “Ryukyu Moromi Vinegar.” Even those who usually feel too shy to express their feelings will want to say, “Every day I spend with you is a treasure,” after listening to this piece.
It’s a classic we hope couples starting a new life together will hear.

Released in March 2025 to mark the 35th anniversary of their debut, it also forms the core of their first album in seven years, Taiyo (The Sun).
The heartbeat-like beat and the electric guitar played by vocalist Eiichi Higa himself seem to symbolize the band’s new challenge.
When you’re sunk in an overwhelming sense of loss, this song quietly stays by your side and offers a light that illuminates tomorrow.
