Noriyuki Makihara - The Promised Place

This is the commercial song for “Knorr.” It’s a piece Mr.

Makihara provided to CHEMISTRY, and he also took part in the chorus.

They asked for something with the feel of a traditional song, and that’s how this track was created.

Throughout, it consistently conveys the message of not giving up on your dreams.

It’s a song of hope.

Night of FireworksMakihara Noriyuki

Hanabi no Yoru

Noriyuki Makihara’s “Hanabi no Yoru” is a love song that beautifully portrays an unrequited love.

The bittersweet lyrics, in contrast to the bright melody, skillfully depict his inner conflict toward the woman he longs for.

By likening love to the beauty and fleeting nature of fireworks, the song draws you in more and more with each listen.

Released in 2002, the track also incorporates experimental elements compared to his past hits—the combination of a samba-like rhythm with a minor-key melody feels remarkably fresh.

The wind gives no name.

A heartwarming song woven by Noriyuki Makihara that uses the wind as its motif.

Included on the album “Heart to Heart,” this piece sings of admiration for a presence that delivers kindness without seeking anything in return—like the wind that never gives its name.

Makihara’s gentle vocals and the melody that sinks into the heart wrap listeners in warmth.

The song was also performed during the “Makihara Noriyuki Concert Tour 2011–12 ‘Heart to Heart,’” held from September 2011 to January 2012.

It’s a track I especially recommend to anyone who wishes to keep watching over someone dear.
