Set against the vast nature of Hokkaido, it portrays life’s joys and sorrows through the moon and stars shining in the night sky, and the falling rain and snow.
Along the journey of chasing dreams, it leaves a deep afterglow that quietly speaks to the importance of living true to oneself.
The track was pre-released by ACIDMAN in December 2024, with the CD following in January 2025.
Chosen as the ending theme for the final episode of WOWOW’s drama “Renzoku Drama W Golden Kamuy — Hokkaido Tattooed Prisoner Contest Arc,” it is also complemented by striking footage shot on location in Hokkaido by film director Shigeaki Kubo.
When you stand at a crossroads in life or face an important decision, this is a song that will stay close to your heart.
Be the soil that makes flowers bloom, rather than the flowers themselves.berii guddoman

Rather than glamorizing the people who shine on center stage, it brilliantly captures the spirit of those who keep supporting from the shadows.
Its lively sound—melding pop and R&B—stands out alongside a melodic progression.
Written by the three members of Beverly Goodman for broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” starting in December 2024, the song’s powerful energy and warm vocals resonate with everyone facing life head-on.
It’s a track meant for those who worry about going unnoticed at school or work, and for those who keep dedicating themselves to someone else.

It carefully portrays gratitude toward one’s partner and hope for a future walked together, making it a timeless masterpiece that resonates deeply with listeners.
Released in August 2011, the song was featured in the commercial for Recruit’s wedding magazine Zexy and reached No.

Bunny GirlAKASAKI
You can’t go a day without hearing the song “Bunny Girl” on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
It’s a signature track by the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI, known for its light, breezy melody.
In contrast to its bright and airy feel, the song’s vocal line is crafted with a very narrow range.
Because the pitch movement is very gentle, anyone can sing it in chest voice.
Even men with very low voices should be able to sing it without issue in the right key, so considering how well it’s received, it’s definitely worth adding to your repertoire.
