It’s also well known as a classic wedding song! This is a grand love ballad from ONE OK ROCK, the rock band active on the world stage.
In straightforward words, it expresses a firm resolve to keep the other person smiling no matter where they are and a wish to walk into the future together.
Taka’s overwhelming vocal power adds a dramatic touch to that pure expression of love.
The track is included on their fourth album, Niche Syndrome, released in June 2010.
Chosen for an NTT Docomo commercial, it became widely familiar to the general public.
It’s an emotional number perfect for conveying unchanging feelings to someone special or for listening to on an anniversary.

Rose-colored worldACO
This is a song included on the 2010 album “devil’s hands” by female singer-songwriter ACO.
In 1999, she guested on Dragon Ash’s single “Grateful Days,” which became a million-seller and made ACO’s name widely known.
Precious thingsAI
The AI’s voice is husky and distinctive, but for this song I think it fits perfectly.
The gently paced, almost spoken rhythm combined with the resonant husky voice is really moving.
Upbeat songs are nice too, but I like this kind of tone as well.

This is Asian Kung-Fu Generation’s (aka Ajikan) 11th major-label single, released in 2008 about three months after After Dark.

Love SongGReeeeN
You could say this is GReeeeN’s debut song.
GReeeeN’s tracks have been used in various movies and commercials, but this one is the simplest and my favorite.
It’s truly a youthful love song, you might say.
MPRINCESS PRINCESS
This is a classic song that gently sings about the pain of heartbreak.
Showcasing PRINCESS PRINCESS’s delicate sensibility, it was released in April 1989 and became the first million-selling single CD in history.
Its heartrending lyrics and beautiful melody seep into the soul and set listeners’ hearts aflame.
You’ll likely feel the protagonist’s struggle to let go of their feelings for “you” as if it were your own.
If you’ve been through a painful breakup, this song might bring you to tears—but along with those tears, it feels like it could wash away the ache in your heart, making it a truly soothing track.
