Hey…Makihara Noriyuki

Noriyuki Makihara Hey… with lyrics
Hey…Makihara Noriyuki

I think it’s pretty rare for the word “die” to appear so straightforwardly in a song.

Many people probably assume that songs dealing with life and death are, as expected, dark and heavy.

But Makihara Noriyuki—better known as Makki—created an outlier with his song “Hey…”.

He sets a theme that tends to feel somber to a bright, up-tempo melody that nudges you toward a more positive outlook.

Even the title “Hey…” carries a bittersweet lightness, as if casually calling out to someone who has passed away.

It’s a song that makes the image of someone trying to hold back their tears—“I won’t cry”—feel all the more lonely.
