Even apart from the film’s success, many listeners are moved to tears by its lyrics that squeeze the heart.
It’s an even more emotional song when you listen while thinking of someone you’ll never see again, or a cherished person you can’t easily meet.

First LoveFukuyama Masaharu
A song by Masaharu Fukuyama released in 2009.
Although it’s in a minor key and has a darker tone, it also feels gentle and beautiful.
Fukuyama’s signature sultry, resonant vocals match it perfectly.
At first glance, the title might make you think it’s a song about first love, but reading the lyrics reveals that it’s a metaphor.
It portrays a man and woman who used to be lovers; now they each have someone important in their lives, yet they realize the person they truly love is still each other.
It’s a track overflowing with the ache of unfulfilled longing.
