JourneyFuji Kaze

Fujii Kaze – Tabiji (Official Video)

A gem of a ballad by Fujii Kaze, memorable for its heartwarming kindness and melody filled with hope.

With a gentle gaze, it reflects on growth and learning throughout the long journey of life, the meetings and partings with loved ones, and tenderly embraces the figure of someone who, though sometimes troubled and uncertain, keeps moving toward the future.

Released digitally in March 2021 and written as the theme song for TV Asahi’s Thursday drama “Nijiiro Karte,” this piece is also included on the album “LOVE ALL SERVE ALL.” It’s a song I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone starting a new chapter, anticipating new encounters with both excitement and anxiety, or standing at a crossroads in life.

Fujii Kaze’s soulful voice and the warm resonance of the Wurlitzer will gently give you a push forward.

Best FriendNishino Kana

Kana Nishino 'Best Friend (short ver.)'

A song whose straightforward lyrics, in which Kana Nishino shares her feelings for her friend, truly resonate with the heart! “Because you were there for me, I was able to enjoy every day,” “No matter how many times I say thank you, it won’t be enough—I’m so grateful.” Even if you feel this way about a friend, it can be a bit embarrassing to say it directly.

However, by sharing your feelings, you create a comforting sense that there will always be someone who supports you in your hearts, even as you each begin to walk your own paths.

Let’s honestly express our gratitude and say “I love you,” and, with memories of your precious person in your heart, step forward onto a new stage!

Goodbye Busyuzu

Goodbye Bus / Yuzu (Cover)

A classic that gently depicts springtime farewells and reunions.

Yuzu’s “Sayonara Bus” was released in March 1999 and included on the album Yuzuen.

Its lyrics are striking, overlaying the feelings of two people who can’t be honest with each other before parting with the scene of a bus pulling away.

The warm, Yuzu-like choice of words is also appealing—such as the coined term asamoyake (“morning haze-burn”).

It’s a song we hope those who feel anxious before starting a new chapter or who have experienced parting with someone dear will listen to.

Give it a listen, and you’ll surely find the courage to take a new step forward.
