A song by Yojiro Noda created as the theme for the Netflix film Parade.

Written from the perspective of someone leaving this world and a loved one behind, its lyrics resonate deeply with listeners.

By skillfully employing the word “absolute,” the song expresses the depth of human relationships, the beauty of bonds that change over the passage of time, and the sorrow that accompanies them.

Released alongside the film in February 2024, this work showcases Noda’s musical talent as it accompanies a story centered on loss.

It’s a track we especially recommend to those who have experienced parting with someone dear or who carry feelings they can’t put into words.

Shonan no Kaze has many songs with lyrics that make you feel a full range of emotions, and “Ookikunattara,” released in 2019, is one that really moves you and warms your heart when you listen to it.

It’s the perfect song to convey feelings you don’t usually put into words at your beloved child’s wedding, as they set off on a new chapter.

When your child was still little, there were probably times in the busyness of daily life when you ended up taking things out on them.

Even then, they would come to you for comfort just the same, and listening to this song brings back those memories and makes you think, “How many times was I saved by that pure heart…”—I think it will stir those feelings and move you deeply.

Making a bento might be a lot like writing a letter.

You can’t see them while they’re eating it.

Whether they finish every bite or bring some back—those small changes come back to you like a reply.

Sometimes it may be too simple, or include something they don’t like, but a bento packed with plenty of love and sealed tight is a letter from parent to child.
