dearestFukuyama Masaharu

Masaharu Fukuyama – Beloved (Full ver.)

This is a ballad about parting with someone precious.

Released under KOH+, the duo of Masaharu Fukuyama and Kou Shibasaki, it was later self-covered by Fukuyama.

The song portrays a pure and heartrending love in which one sacrifices oneself to protect a beloved.

Released in October 2008, it gained attention as the theme song for the film “The Devotion of Suspect X.” It was also used in a commercial for Toshiba’s REGZA LCD TVs.

This is a recommended track for those grieving the loss of someone dear or those who wish to give everything for the one they love.
