Kobukuro’s classic and popular songs

TwilightKobukuro

Kobukuro – Twilight

This is a Kobukuro song that strikes the heart with bittersweet love.

It carries the feelings of two people who have grown apart on a fleeting yet warm melody.

The lyrics evoke the poignant scenes of dusk, and the duo’s splendid harmonies sink deep into the heart.

Released in June 2016, the track captured the hearts of many fans.

Although it wasn’t tied in with any dramas or films, the music video leaves a strong impression with the two figures bathed in the glow of sunset.

It’s perfect for those who’ve experienced a breakup or want to feel the bond with someone special.

Highly recommended for listening at dusk when you’re thinking of someone far away.

Kobukuro – WINDING ROAD (Ayaka × Kobukuro)

This is the song that became a hot topic for its collaboration with the singer Ayaka.

They performed it live on music shows, and it was a huge crowd-pleaser at festivals as well.

It feels like each of them is singing freely, yet the harmonies come together with an incredible sense of unity—that’s where you really feel the power of music.

It’s the kind of song you really want to sing at karaoke but just can’t quite pull off—that description fits it perfectly.

YELL ~A Cheer~ / Kobukuro

Starting right from the opening, the melody is so good you could call it a chorus.

With songs like this, I’ve heard it can actually be tough to come up with a chorus, but this is Kobukuro—weaving in an even more brilliant melody to elevate the track.

Please accept this cheer from Kobukuro.

You and [Ayaka × Kobukuro]Kobukuro

Kobukuro – You (Ayaka × Kobukuro)

This is a song that became a hot topic for its collaboration with singer Ayaka.

With its simple structure and melody, it showcases the true power of “song,” allowing both artists to fully display their exceptional vocal abilities.

The allocation of each part matches exquisitely, and it really resonates with the heart.

A song filled with gentle kindness that stays close to the heart warmly envelops its listeners.

Its lyrics, carrying a message to those who struggle with life, convey the importance of living true to oneself.

Released in March 2023, this work was written as the theme song for the drama “Liaison: Children’s Mental Health Clinic.” Deeply linked to the drama’s themes, it adds color to the story set in a child psychiatry clinic.

Its warm melody, celebrating the birth of new life, will resonate with those awaiting childbirth and with anyone who cherishes family bonds.

The pure harmonies performed by the duo Kobukuro are sure to soothe you.

My belovedKobukuro

Kobukuro_Loved One_LIVE

It portrays the aching, frustrating feeling of wanting to say “I miss you” and convey your feelings to a loved one who can’t hear them.

The phrase “a loved one” suggests it could be lyrics to a deceased lover, but from the episodes that appear in the song, it can also be read as being about a late mother.

Although the singer always feels this “loved one” close by, no matter how much they sing—their truest form of expression—there is no reply from that person.

The song captures the pain of there being no answer, and the singer’s determination to keep on singing nonetheless.

Footsteps of TimeKobukuro

Kobukuro – Footsteps of Time

It’s a wonderful song with memorable lyrics that compare the distance between the members of Kobukuro to the hands of a clock.

Naturally, the long hand represents Kuroda (the taller one), and since he is over 190 cm tall, Kobuchi, who’s always beside him, looks extremely small.

But it seems that Kobuchi actually isn’t that short.
