Voice of the SeaUrashima Tarō, Kiritani Kenta
It’s the version sung by Kenta Kiritani.
Kiritani plays the shamisen, but I think it would also sound really cool on guitar.
This commercial is popular right now, so I recommend it even more.
The lyrics include “even when I become a grandpa,” so it’s geared toward men.
I want to be kinder.Saitō Kazuyoshi
A heartwarming message song overflowing with love for someone special.
It’s a track by Kazuyoshi Saito, released in November 2011.
Chosen as the theme song for the NTV drama “I’m Mita, Your Housekeeper,” it generated huge buzz.
Set to the gentle tones of an acoustic guitar, the lyrics express a desire to be strong yet kind.
It reached No.
6 on the Oricon charts, marking Saito’s highest ranking to date.
It’s a perfect song to perform at weddings or receptions.
If you want to convey your feelings to someone important, why not give it a try?
Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
Koisuru Fortune Cookie, with its heartwarming melody, is a perfect choice for an acoustic guitar solo at a close friend’s wedding.
Played with just one guitar, the song takes on a gentle, warm atmosphere that differs from the original’s sparkle.
The chorus is especially catchy, and guests will naturally find themselves humming along.
It’s ideal for a surprise performance dedicated to a best friend or beloved partner, turning a moment of the reception into an even more special memory.
Why not use the power of music to create a beautiful moment at the wedding?
