A heart-soothing song that gently sinks in with Kana Nishino’s tender voice! Released in July 2016 as the CM song for P&G’s “New Lenor Happiness.” With lyrics about love that can’t quite be honest—like “feelings I couldn’t tell anyone” and “emotions I finally realized”—it’s sure to move you.

Kana Nishino’s expressive vocals beautifully capture the delicate emotions of a woman in love.

Perfect not only for those struggling with romance, but also for moments when you want to share your feelings with someone special.

Give this song a listen and try mustering the courage to express your true feelings—you’ll feel lighter, for sure!

Thank you for your love.MISIA

MISIA, who captivates fans with her crystal-clear voice, wrote “Ai wo Arigatou” (“Thank You for Love”) specifically for a Koikeya potato chips commercial.

It’s a gentle ballad centered on acoustic guitar.

The commercial tells a story about the bond between a sumo club athlete and a manager, and the song expresses gratitude to someone special in line with that theme.

Its appeal lies in how listeners can relate it not only to athletes and managers, but to various relationships—lovers, parents and children, and more.
