Interweaving everyday scenes like the after-school chime and a rainbow, its narrative style—believing in the hope beyond tears—leaves a strong impression.

It was released in 2019 by SHE’S, a band that delivers a rock sound infused with piano tones.
The warm, everyday-life-friendly sound unfolds with a steady rhythm.
The lyrics depict relationships that start to falter the closer two people become.
Accompanied by a relaxed band performance, vocalist Ryoma Inoue’s gentle voice tenderly embraces the bittersweet emotions.
It’s a track often used in TikTok videos set against emotional scenes.

The lyrics, expressed in gentle language, evoke a sincere desire to celebrate the newlyweds.
To all living thingsMoriyama Naotaro
It’s the theme song for the 2004 drama “Beloved You.” It’s a grand piece centered on life and the meaning of living, and the opening chorus really resonates in your chest.
The protagonist in the song doesn’t seem to be the good person their loved one imagines; they appear to have both an angel’s face and a devil’s face.
Having ceased to be human, what will the protagonist do? The lyrics make you want to know what happens next.
The Final RiverCHEMISTRY
When you think of the twin-vocal unit CHEMISTRY, their stylish songs infused with R&B and the wonderful harmonies of Kawabata and Douchin are truly captivating, aren’t they? Among their tracks, this song stands out as a beloved masterpiece ballad for fans.
It’s a gem where the two voices blend perfectly with the gentle accompaniment—but that’s not the only charm.
The lyrics are beautiful as well, carrying a wonderful, love-filled message.
The song’s narrator is a man who has left this world, departing for the next while leaving someone dear behind.
Though unseen, his message is that he’s always by their side, watching over them—surely many listeners have found encouragement in that sentiment.

It’s a wonderful song that makes you want to give back to someone important to you.
