I want to be loved.

This is a song in which Hanako Oku pours out a heartrending sentiment.

She wants to be loved, yet she can’t be honest about her feelings.

Those tangled emotions are expressed with delicate nuance.

Carried by the gentle tones of the piano, Oku’s clear, translucent voice sinks deep into the heart.

Released in April 2005 on the indie album “Hanako Oku vol.best,” this track is positioned as the culmination of her days performing on the streets.

It’s a recommended song for anyone troubled by love or unable to express their true feelings.

Listening to it just might give you courage.

Just as the title suggests, it’s a song that makes you feel cheerful, bright, and happy.

With a gentle singing voice, it sweetly conveys a woman’s wish to stay together from now on.

boundary lineOku Hanako

Okuyama Hanako – Boundary Line (Chinese Subtitled Version)

A song included on the first and last album that serves as the culmination of their indie era, released three months before their major debut.

Being from their indie days, the lyrics earnestly sing about their current reality and carry real weight—especially the chorus lines: “But reality isn’t so sweet.

In the end, if you don’t have money, you can’t do anything.

So what are we living for?” which are particularly striking.

Wedding DressOku Hanako

It’s a gentle, piano-centered song! Hanako Oku’s vocals are very clear yet warm, conveying a happy atmosphere.

The whole track overflows with affection, and since it’s a very relaxed slow ballad, a calm, mature entrance rather than a flashy one would suit it well.

I think timing your entrance right as the intro ends and the lyrics begin would look beautiful.

A place where the heart returnsOku Hanako

To the future (place) where you wait

A song used as the theme for the anime commemorating the 60th anniversary of Soka City.

Soka City is located in the southeastern part of Saitama Prefecture.

A key highlight is that the lyrics mention the Ayase River and the Harp Bridge within the city! The lyrics express feelings toward one’s hometown and the life that has been passed down through generations.

These are things everyone thinks about at least once, right? It’s a song that makes you feel how important your hometown is.
