Under the same skyayaka

Minna sora no shita (BEST Version)
Under the same skyayaka

“Everyone Under the Sky” is a song Ayaka wrote for a friend.

In the lyrics, she speaks to someone dear, telling them how wonderful they are, and, as the title suggests, offers encouragement with the message: “Even if we’re apart, we’re all under the same sky.” Leaving a familiar place can feel unsettling and lonely, even when it’s your own decision.

But listening to this song, you’ll remember your steadfast friends whenever you look up at the sky, and feel ready to keep going.

It’s a perfect gift to send someone off on their new journey.
