Kazumasa Oda’s “Kotoba ni Dekinai” is a self-cover of an Off Course song, included on the album LOOKING BACK 2.

It’s a bittersweet ballad in which the sense of yearning is conveyed not only through the sound but also through Oda’s transparent, chorus-layered vocals.

Known for the episode where Oda was moved to tears and couldn’t continue singing, it is a signature song for both Off Course and Kazumasa Oda.

It also became widely known after being used in a Meiji Life Insurance commercial in 1999, which helped it gain popularity across generations.
