I think it’s a song that brings back memories of those faint, youthful loves from our school days.
It also matches the film’s story very well.

Imbued with a message of deep love and the will to live, “Aishi Ikiru Koto” is a heart-stirring song by King & Prince.
Its simple piano melody resonates directly with listeners, beautifully conveying through song the importance of having the one you love by your side.
The vocals, radiant with delicate emotional expression, have the power to draw out the listener’s feelings, and the more you listen, the more the profound meaning of the lyrics reveals itself.

This song is a cover of Kazuyoshi Saito’s signature track, “Utautai no Ballad.” It’s long been a popular wedding song.
Many may feel they’ve already listened to this male-perspective “pure love” ballad countless times, but when you sit down and really listen again, it moves you all over again—one of those songs that brings you to tears no matter how many times you hear it.
Hearing it in Sakurai’s voice shakes your emotions even more.

This song, LiSA’s “Homura,” which became the theme for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train, was such a hit that it was called a social phenomenon.
“Gurenge,” the TV anime’s theme, was also a hit and became one of her signature songs, but this track is no less impactful—it really pierces the heart.
