monologueHata Motohiro × Matayoshi Naoki

The work “Hitorigoto,” a collaboration between popular singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata and Naoki Matayoshi, winner of the Akutagawa Prize.

In this piece, the lyrics are by Naoki Matayoshi and the melody is by Motohiro Hata, offering the appeal of delicately gentle melodies paired with profoundly literary expression rarely seen in mainstream Japanese pop.

Throughout, the vocal line is simply structured, with no abrupt jumps in pitch.

In addition, the overall range is on the narrower side, making it a very easy song to sing for teenage boys with lower voices.

This is the quietly infused, solitary and stunned state of mind captured in one of Motohiro Hata’s renowned songs.

Its weighty melody and clear, understated vocals illuminate the protagonist’s emotions like a single spotlight.

The song was used as the ending theme for Makoto Shinkai’s animated film The Garden of Words starting in May 2013, and was included as a coupling track on the single “Kotonoha” as a cover of one of Senri Oe’s signature pieces.

It resonates as a song that accompanies late-night drives or quiet moments spent with someone special.
