I think the rhythm and melody of this song are really great, and it’s a wonderful piece.

Even among Kanjani’s songs, I feel this one is filled with emotion and ranks quite high.

It’s a song for the future that’s about to begin—the future from here on.

It’s very moving and bittersweet.

March Toward TomorrowKuwata Keisuke

Keisuke Kuwata – March Toward Tomorrow (Full ver.)

Written by Keisuke Kuwata in 2011, at a time when many people were anxious about tomorrow, this is a marching song of hope.

Its unadorned, simple sound centered on acoustic guitar seeps all the more deeply into the heart.

The lyrics carry a strong message to the disaster-stricken areas, and there is a verse that sounds as if it sings “in Tohoku,” a characteristically modest form of encouragement from Kuwata that is profoundly moving.

This warm number was released in August 2011 as part of a triple A-side single and was also used in an NTT Docomo commercial.

It’s a talisman-like song, perfect for those moments when you want just a little boost of energy or a gentle push on the back.
