An irreplaceable masterpiece that conveys the meaning of life and the preciousness of existence. A deeply moving song of encouragement.

At all times.Makihara Noriyuki

[Official] Noriyuki Makihara “No Matter What” (Music Video) [3rd Single] (1991) Noriyuki Makihara/donnatokimo [No. 1]

One of Noriyuki Makihara’s signature songs and the theme song for the film “No Abnormalities in the Job-Hunting Front.” There are times in our busy daily lives when we feel like we’re losing sight of ourselves.

This is a song that helps you remember who you are in those moments.

Let your impatience slowly melt away, and get back to being yourself.

Become a Thousand Winds – Masafumi Akikawa

Sen-nen Kaze ni Natte (A Thousand Winds), a song to which novelist Man Arai set his own melody after translating the American-origin poem “Do not stand at my grave and weep.” The piece is also known for being covered by various artists.

Its gentle, beautiful melody and the speaker’s plea—asking loved ones not to cry before their grave—soothe and quietly seep into the hearts of those left behind.

When communication with others doesn’t go well, don’t overthink it.

Living isn’t about focusing only on yourself; its value is determined by how much you can help the other person be happy.

That’s the message you can take from this.
