TWILIGHTMayo Okamoto

It’s a song included on the second album, “Pureness,” released in 1996.

The lyrics overflow with the feelings of a woman who cherishes the time spent with her boyfriend amidst the cold, wintry scenes of December.

Even if it’s just an ordinary day for him, it’s precious time for her, and her wish to keep things just as they are makes this a song brimming with love.

The song recounts memories of a high school classmate and best friend who passed away at the young age of 26, and it is sung as a cherished memory for both the friend and Mayo Okamoto herself.

It was used as the image song for Shinkin Bank and also featured as an insert song on TBS’s “Kaettekita Second Chance.”

This song is included on the 9th original album, “seasons,” and was used as the theme for Aeon’s ‘Celebrate Suits’ commercial.

Friends you can stay close with for a lifetime are irreplaceable treasures.

This song expresses feelings for such friends and overflows with gratitude.

Beyond this starry skyMayo Okamoto

This is a song I wrote after reading fan letters from women who had lost their loved ones, turning their feelings into lyrics.

The lyrics say he passed away before spring arrived, and perhaps they both knew when the end would come.

Still, the promised words—“Let’s go see the cherry blossoms”—may have been a sliver of hope, a reason to keep living.

WILLMayo Okamoto

From the very first second, it’s sure to lift your spirits.

When you feel like crying, when your heart aches, or when you’re just worn out, please give it a listen.

As the lyrics say, when things are tough, the first step may be to stop forcing yourself to hold it in.

It’s okay to cry, and to lean on your family, friends, or partner.

This song nestles close to our hearts and makes us want to keep trying without giving up.

It’s a track from the 1997 album “Smile,” a timeless anthem of encouragement!

This song is included on the 14th original album “Tomorrow,” released in 2012.

It was used as the be-PON Melody on BS Fuji’s “be-Ponkickies,” and is a song that children can sing along to.

With lyrics only a mother who pours love into her child 365 days a year could write, it’s a joyful yet tear-jerking song.

It’s a song included on the fourth original album, “Hello,” released in 1998.

It brightly and poppily sings about the busy morning rush.

With a slightly comical touch, it pleasantly overturns their previous image in a good way—a fun, uplifting track that brightens your mood.
