[Vietsub] Sangatsu Kokonoka – March 9th

It’s a classic Remioromen song that’s almost guaranteed to be played at graduation ceremonies.

It was used as an insert song in Erika Sawajiri’s drama “1 Litre of Tears,” and nowadays it’s even more famous than “Konayuki,” which was the main theme.

It’s considered Remioromen’s best song.

With this song, HOME MADE Kazoku are said to be expressing their gratitude to everyone they’ve met so far.

heroAmuro Namie

Hero – Namie Amuro (Full)

As you know, this is one of Namie Amuro’s signature songs, heard repeatedly as the theme for NHK’s broadcasts of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and Paralympics.

To sum up the tagline: “Someday, I, too, can be someone’s hero,” and I believe it’s a cheer song addressed not only to athletes but to everyone across the nation.

The minimalist intro that starts with a tik-tik feel, the accompaniment that seems to highlight Amuro’s vocals, and a chorus grander than opera—no matter which part you listen to, it feels packed with emotion.

It’s a truly recommended track that suits any situation—graduation ceremonies, thank-you parties, farewell gatherings, you name it.
