The True Nature of Tears

An impressive song by SUPER BEAVER that portrays the complex emotions within the human heart.

It delicately depicts the contradictory feelings of wanting someone to notice you while carrying thoughts you can’t tell anyone, as well as the wavering between your true self and the self you present in society.

Its story-like development—exploring one’s essence through tears—is sure to resonate deeply with listeners.

This piece was written as the theme song for the NHK General TV drama “Vanilla na Mainichi,” airing from January 2025.

In the drama starring Misako Renbutsu, the song appears as a track that holds significant meaning for the protagonist, and Daisei Kido’s performance of the song within the show is another highlight.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when you’re troubled or uncertain, or when you want to face yourself.

The warm vocals and melody, which feel as if they’re by your side, will surely give you strength.
