Mother's Song / Yoshida Yamada [MUSIC VIDEO]

As the title says, it’s a song about mothers.

There aren’t any direct words of thanks in the lyrics, but a warmth and a deep mix of feelings for one’s mother seep in more and more as you listen.

Even if you feel reluctant to sing “thank you,” this song might help you convey what’s in your heart.

This song, included on RADWIMPS 4: Okazu no Gohan, is a love song overflowing with affection for the other person.

Its straightforward lyrics—asking, “Is it really okay to love someone this much?”—bring back the purity of first love.

The song unfolds in a very RADWIMPS-like way, building from a quiet intro into an emotional swell.

It’s a moving number you’ll want to listen to with your partner.

Sing it at a wedding to that special someone and make their day.

Bouquet – back number (Full)

The lyrics of this song are lovely, too.

It’s often played in everyday life, so I think many people know it.

It’s a song I’d like the groom to sing earnestly to the bride.

The guitar sounds coolest with a strumming, jangly style.

Wherever you areONE OK ROCK

Wherever You Are – ONE OK ROCK Full

The popularity of ONE OK ROCK among young people has been steadily rising lately.

This song of theirs is truly a love ballad.

The pitch is a bit high for men to sing, so tuning down by a half step should make it just right.

Ride On Time - Tatsuro Yamashita

The difficulty level is a bit high, but if you can sing and play it, it’s an incredibly cool song.

What makes it challenging is that, since the song is unexpectedly simple, it’s hard to sing with enough dynamics.

It would be even better with a saxophone solo in the background.

It might be a good choice for couples in age-gap marriages.

The lyrics consistently convey love for the other person.

It would be nice for a friend to sing it, but it would also be lovely for either the bride or groom to sing it to their partner, expressing that just your being here brings me happiness.

It’s a wonderful song whether sung by a man or a woman.
