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

Where from tomorrowMatsu Takako

Ashita wa Doko kara – Takako Matsu (Full)

This is Takako Matsu’s 22nd single, released in 2017.

With its sparkling guitar tones and strings, it’s a refreshing track.

It’s a masterpiece that makes you realize that living means expressing simple, honest feelings—like saying “thank you” and “I’m sorry”—in the midst of everyday life.

March Toward TomorrowKuwata Keisuke

Keisuke Kuwata – March to Tomorrow (Short ver.)

This is Keisuke Kuwata’s 14th single, released in 2011.

In Japan in 2011, many people lost everything.

Many must have lost their sense of purpose in life as well.

This song is one of hope, and I imagine it gave courage to many.

Blue skies, the homeland of the heart, forests, the moon, twilight, flowers, and the beautiful sea—it made us realize there are things that never change.

It’s a very gentle song.

[Official] Uru “Furiko” — Theme song for the film “The Voice of Sin”

“Furiko (Pendulum)” by Uru is a song about the “meaning of life” found within an ordinary, uneventful existence.

Released in 2020 as a double A-side single together with “Break,” it was chosen as the theme song for the film “The Voice of Sin,” starring Shun Oguri.

There are days when we’re tired of just waking up and going to sleep, going to work and coming home.

But the lyrics tell of a ray of light and love discovered within those days that gives one’s life meaning.

For those who feel like nothing happens day after day, this song might become a glimmer of hope.

Yusaku Kiyama - Home

While thriving as a singer, vocalist Yusaku Kiyama—who has the unusual profile of being a full-time company employee as his main profession—performed this song on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

His deep, sweet voice matches the refrain in the chorus, making it a tear-jerker.

His background as someone who battles daily as a salaryman surely serves as an encouraging message to others in similar circumstances.

It’s a song we hope will be listened to quietly by all those who fight for someone else every day.

Keisuke Kuwata – Moon (Short ver.)

Under the moonlight, this masterpiece evokes scenes brimming with elegance.

Moonlight holds a mysterious power that sinks deeply into the human heart.

The night may accentuate loneliness, yet the moon is a hopeful light that illuminates those nearby.

Why not try seeking such a ‘moon’s glow’ yourself?

Another Name for LifeNakajima Mika

Mika Nakashima – Another Name for Life [LIVE]

Many people probably know this as one of Miyuki Nakajima’s signature songs.

Heavy and dark, it resonates and teaches us the meaning of life.

Her songs always hurl messages up from deep within.

You can feel that same strained, heartfelt emotion in Mika Nakashima’s cover as well.

Resolution on the Seventh DayUVERworld

UVERworld “Determination on the 7th Day vol.02”

Based on a scene seen in a dream, this moving song questions the fragility of life and the meaning of living.

It speaks as if to remind us that “even in an imperfect state, people can find happiness” and that “change can begin right at this very moment.” Released in June 2014 as UVERworld’s 26th single, it was also included on the album Ø CHOIR and reached No.

2 on the Oricon weekly chart.

In live performances, it is positioned as a key track that creates a sense of unity with the audience.

This work gently stands by those who feel uncertain about their own worth or struggle to take the first step toward change.
