While Kobukuro is generally associated with a more acoustic image, this song conveys their intent to break new ground with a rock-inspired vibe.

Kobukuro 'Footprints' Lyric Video

A song that gently weaves a farewell to a beloved presence.

Looking back on days spent with a cherished dog, it portrays with warmth the traces that presence left on the heart, even as it accepts an eternal parting.

Its acoustic sound and melody offer comfort to the feelings of pet loss—an experience many may face.

Included on Kobukuro’s album “QUARTER CENTURY,” released in September 2024, this piece gives courage to move forward: to carry the sorrow of losing a loved one while never forgetting gratitude for the time shared.

It is a song that will bring deep empathy and healing to those who have lost a precious family member.

Blue BirdKobukuro

Kobukuro – Blue Bird

A refreshing number that cheerfully starts from the chorus.

True to the title “Blue Bird,” it sings about the invisible happiness that’s close at hand yet hard to notice.

It served as the opening theme for the anime Bakuman.

DOORKobukuro

Kobukuro – DOOR ~The knock again~

This is the only single by Kobukuro that was written and composed solely by Shunsuke Kuroda.

He takes the lead on the vocals as well, and his singing—packed with even more emotion than usual—is wonderful.

It seems to be a song they performed since their indie days, and in a sense, you could call it another origin point for Kobukuro.

LoveKobukuro

LOVE - Kobukuro

What is love, I wonder? Even though I can’t hold your hand, I like you.

It was my first love, and I didn’t even know how to be in a relationship.

I wonder when I’ll learn.

Even now, I still get nervous when we hold hands.

This is a song I wrote about my awkward self, and I really love it.

Miss youKobukuro

Kobukuro - miss you

You, who were always supposed to be by my side, aren’t here.

I thought I was warming your cold hand, but in my pocket there’s only my own.

The bittersweet feelings from our first parting come flooding back.

I never want to feel that way again.

I think I’m ready to make that resolve.
