I can’t put it into wordsNEW!ofukōsu
A classic ballad whose warm melody rises from quietude, and whose delicate vocals by Kazumasa Oda seep into the heart.
Expressing human connections and overflowing emotions through a restrained singing voice, this piece was included on the album “over,” released in December 1981, and later issued as a single in February 1982.
It remains etched in many people’s memories, helped by its long use as the TV commercial song for Meiji Yasuda Life since 1999.

It tightens the chest to the point that tears may well up, yet, mysteriously, you’re likely to feel lighter at heart once it ends.
