A Bouquet for YouUtada Hikaru
Released in 2017.
This is Hikaru Utada’s fourth digital-only single.
It was used as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Toto Nee-chan.” The song reflects on a dear loved one.
It’s a renowned ballad that teaches us that to live is to love, to feel joy, and to know sorrow.
HANABIMr.Children
This song was used as the theme for the drama “Code Blue: Doctor Heli Emergency Lifesaving” and became a huge hit.
It’s one of Mr.Children’s signature tracks, released as a single in 2008.
No one lives a life where only happy things happen—sometimes we worry, sometimes we feel down.
Still, no matter how frightening it may be, this masterpiece teaches us the importance of facing forward and moving ahead with determination.
Kazutoshi Sakurai’s straightforward vocals heighten the emotion.
Memory of LifeNikaidou Kazumi
The theme song of the Studio Ghibli animated film The Tale of the Princess Kaguya.
It’s a song that makes you reflect on life passed down from ancient times and the fact that you, as you are now, exist here.
It will help you reaffirm the connections among everything in the present, everything in the past, and everything that is the future.
rayBUMP OF CHICKEN
Farewells and fading memories—this song portrays them without sadness.
No matter where you go from here, every encounter is surely connected as the beginning of something.
The bold declaration that living is the best! gives it a reassuring strength.
There’s also a collaboration version with Hatsune Miku, so be sure to give it a listen.
Sparkling KaleidoscopeRYTHEM
Even if you can’t exchange words, even if you can’t hear a voice, there are people whose mere existence is enough.
For anyone who has someone like that by their side, I recommend RYTHEM’s “Kaleidoscope Kirakira.” Chosen as the theme song for the drama “With the Light: Raising an Autistic Child,” it was released in 2004.
Even when people are looking at the same thing, the way they feel can differ.
We want to share those feelings, but when various challenges make conversation difficult, there are times you wish you could understand each other without speaking.
This song expresses that honest feeling, along with gratitude for the joy that can be felt precisely because of this situation.
It makes you feel that every life sparkles and shines.
day by dayYoshida Yamada
It’s a song that moves you from the very start, opening with acoustic guitar arpeggios and a gentle vocal.
It beautifully sings of the drama found in people’s lives, and the two vocalists’ contrasting timbres shine wonderfully.
The lyrics unfold like a story and sink naturally into the heart, making it a beautiful number that lets you reaffirm the meaning of living.
