Yukui Utakariyushi 58

Kariyushi58 “Yukui Uta”

Yukui Utakariyushi 58

This is a song included on the seventh album, “Kawari Yoshi, Kawari Nashi.” It seems to sing about a friend living away from Okinawa.

I’m moved by the feeling of longing for a friend—“let’s hang out when you get back.” The music video is also wonderful, featuring the smiling, beautiful people of Okinawa.

Kariyushi58 “I Believe in Love”

I believe in love.kariyushi 58

I think these lyrics are the way they are precisely because I don’t believe love can last forever.

That realization, in turn, transforms into a compassionate desire to cherish the time with one’s partner.

It makes me feel that love cannot exist without effort from both sides.
