Flame of Orion

Hideto Tokunaga is a male singer known for many outstanding vocal performances, including his signature song “Kowarekake no Radio” and the cover album “VOCALIST.” This is a grand love ballad he released in 2000.

It captures the feelings vowed while gazing together at Orion, a constellation that symbolizes winter.

The cold season somehow makes longing feel even stronger, doesn’t it? Although the song depicts regret and parting from someone dear, it’s enveloped in a strangely warm atmosphere.

The mood, carried by Tokunaga’s husky voice, is irresistibly romantic.

Be sure to listen to it on a starry night while thinking of someone special.
