It’s a wonderful song that prays for gentle love, perfect for anniversaries.

When someone casually plays a song like this at just the right moment, it makes you feel like they’ll truly cherish you.

It’s also a fight song, and it’s a wonderful track I’d love for any couple thinking about their future to listen to together.
A long time agoFISHMANS
Included on the 1996 album “Kūchū Camp” (Aerial Camp).
A two-piece rock band formed in 1987.
The guitar’s tone is dreamy and somehow nostalgic, the jazz-like rhythms and the harmonies of dub and sampling are exquisite, and listening to it gives the impression of being gently rocked in a cradle.
Eternal country bumpkinFurawā Kanpanīzu
Included on the 2004 album “Setagaya Yoake Mae.” A four-piece band from Nagoya formed in 1989.
The contrast between the quiet, ska-influenced melodic lines and the chorus that feels like an emotional explosion is fascinating.
The vocals, with their powerful shouts, also have great character and feel just right.
NEVER ENDAmuro Namie
The 17th single “NEVER END,” produced as the image song for the 26th G8 Summit, features an arrangement that incorporates melodies from Ryukyuan folk music and lyrics that evoke a prayer for peace continuing into the future—messages that resonated with many listeners around the world.
With a very relaxed melodic flow and a narrow vocal range, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
Its mystical arrangement stirs the heart—a grand number we want to keep singing even as times change.
An Eternal SecondTamura Naomi
Included on the 1994 album “Excellent.” Song used in a Mikki Camelia Diamond commercial.
Born in 1963.
A singer-songwriter from Nagoya.
The tone of the guitar in the intro is truly passionate, and from there the melody unfolds into a hard yet mellow rock sound that’s extremely powerful.
Her high-tone voice, which stands its ground against the backing track, is also outstanding.
