soundtrackCreepy Nuts × Sugata Masaki
This moving track exquisitely fuses a soulful, embracing vocal with a groovy beat.
It stands out for its powerful message that stays close to everyday life and affirms the importance of living strongly.
The song declares that even a life without a dazzling storyline has true meaning, and that each of us has a path where we can shine.
Released in July 2020, it was also used as the theme song for the Nippon TV information program “Sukkiri.” It is included on the album “To Us Who Were Once Geniuses” and has garnered strong support from many fans.
This work gently stays by the side of those who struggle with their way of life or values, and those who find self-expression difficult.
A Person Becoming a StarSUPER BEAVER
This song possesses a profound allure that invites us to reexamine the present from the perspective of life’s end.
Centered on the universal themes of life and death, it asks what truly matters to us as human beings.
Inspired by the passing of the artist’s grandmother, it was released in July 2012 as a medium-tempo ballad on the album “How the Future Begins.” Rather than dwelling solely in sorrow, it reflects on the dignity of a life well lived through the image of a beloved grandmother being tenderly sent off, expressed with a simple yet powerful melody.
It is a song that stays close when you want to confront life’s fundamental questions or when you’re thinking of someone dear.
As SUPER BEAVER’s first nationwide release after establishing their independent label “I×L×P× RECORDS,” it was an ambitious work that also drew attention as a new starting point for the band.

A song that likens life to ever-changing weather.
In a long life, sudden misfortunes can bring you down and move you to tears, but just like the weather, thinking that good things will come again someday helps you stay positive.
It’s a gentle song that affirms you in every moment—on rainy days, on sunny days, and anytime in between.
FlowerFuji Kaze
A song gently resonating with the fragility and preciousness of life has been delivered by Fujii Kaze.
Like the life of a flower, it sings—carried by warm vocals and piano-woven melodies—of the belief that a human life, too, holds its own brilliance.
Released in October 2023 as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama “The Flower I Love Most,” the piece pairs stylish sound with a delicate portrayal of how, even amid life’s doubts and struggles, we continue to seek inner beauty.
The music video, filmed in the Australian desert, symbolically expresses themes of life and death, and rebirth, leaving a lingering resonance in the viewer’s heart.
It’s a song I highly recommend for those who wish to look into the essence of things or quietly face themselves.
dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo
A beloved masterpiece by Yo Hitoto that gently sings a prayer for loved ones and a wish for peace.
Released in February 2004, it has soothed many hearts with her unique sensibility as a Japanese-Taiwanese artist and her clear, transparent voice.
Using the flower—an emblem of Japan–U.S.
friendship—as its motif, the song expresses bonds with precious people and hopes for a happy future.
It was featured as the theme song for NTV’s Tuesday Suspense Theater and in JRA commercials, and set a record by staying on the Oricon Weekly Singles chart for 125 consecutive weeks.
Whether in moments of aching love or parting, or at life’s milestones such as weddings and graduations, it remains a song that shines without fading.
