It’s a song that gently speaks to feelings about warm, natural scenery and a future you’ll walk toward with someone special.

Centered on acoustic guitar, its calm sound also conveys a sense of nostalgia.

Everyday words like “bicycle” are woven in skillfully, making the happiness sung about feel close at hand and emphasizing the warmth even more.

The gentle, reflective vocals, as if savoring one’s inner feelings, shape the atmosphere of the track.

Mother’s SongNagabuchi Tsuyoshi

Kaachan No Uta

This is a warm, gentle song that looks back on the image of a mother who was always a source of strength while struggling after moving to Tokyo.

It is said to be based on Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s own experiences, and was included on the 2017 album “BLACK TRAIN.” The simple acoustic guitar and vocal style conveys the desire to deliver the lyrics straight and true.

The gentle, conversational tempo makes it easy to sing, and it may also be important to consider how to infuse the performance with one’s own feelings toward one’s mother.

It’s a song that makes me feel like I could cry when I listen to it in times of hurt.

But it also makes me feel like I’ve got to keep going.

The lyrics conjure up scenes of the wide sky and the vast ocean, which naturally soothe me, and the resolve to try again wells up on its own, giving me strength.

That’s the power Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi has.

When I admire someone or have someone special in my life, I find myself in tears when I listen to this song.

The lyrics are wonderful, the melody is gentle, and whenever I’m troubled, I listen to it because it feels like it’s washing my heart clean.

I heard this song on the Sakurajima DVD and grew to love it.

I remember the tempo and lyrics getting stuck in my head and listening to it over and over.

This footage is old, but personally I prefer and feel more at ease with the versions Tsuyoshi has sung more recently (lol).

With its upbeat vibe, it gets you hyped just watching it live! Listening to this song while driving along the coastline makes everything feel cool and it’s such a great feeling.

That said, when this song is on, I’d rather be in the back seat (lol).

I heard this song live for the first time and instantly fell in love with it! I’m pretty sure Tsuyoshi also provided this song to TOKIO.

When the original artist Tsuyoshi sings it himself, the coolness is on a whole different level (lol).

This song is also perfect for driving—so cool!
