Voice of the Seaurashima tarō (kiritani kenta)

This piece makes abundant use of the sanshin, an instrument that evokes Okinawa.

With a very relaxed rhythm and sparse notes, it conveys a strong sense of space.

The performance is meticulous, the kind that naturally conjures up scenes when you close your eyes.

Although it’s also used in commercials, why not take the time to listen to it closely again?

With this song, you might feel like everything will be okay no matter what happens.

It’s one of the signature tracks by Ikimonogakari, a music group that has been at the forefront of the Japanese pop scene for many years, released in 2010 as their 18th single.

It was written as the theme song for the TV drama “Gegege no Nyobo.” Because its lyrics express gratitude toward someone precious, it’s also very popular as a graduation song.

Yoshioka’s straightforward vocals are sure to smooth and soothe your heart.
