Okubukako’s famous and popular songs
Let me introduce songs by singer-songwriter Hanako Oku, who made her major debut in 2005 after performing street live shows.
Hanako Oku is known for her beautiful, charming voice, and her song “Garnet” was used as the theme song for the film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, perfectly matching the movie’s atmosphere.
While she primarily performs in a keyboard or piano-and-vocals style, she actually majored in trumpet at a music university during her college years.
Although she usually doesn’t play the trumpet at live shows, it seems she performs the trumpet herself in the instrumental break of “Niji no Mieru Ashita e.”
That song is also included in this playlist, so please take a listen to her rare trumpet performance.

Anniversary for the two of usOku Hanako
You want to celebrate precious anniversaries with your partner with wonderful music, right? If you’re looking for a song for such an occasion, I recommend Okuhana-ko’s “Futari Kinenbi” (“Our Anniversary”).
The lyrics express the feeling of being glad to love you, even though we sometimes get angry or argue.
Things we can’t usually say might be easier to convey honestly through music.
Unrequited loveOku Hanako
A smash-hit ballad by Okudaka Hana, an artist whose warm, unforgettable vocals and distinctive musical worldview are loved across generations.
This classic beautifully captures the bittersweet feelings unique to unrequited love—the simple longing to be with the person you adore.
I should be able to fly (in the sky).Oku Hanako
The gentle yet steadfast singing voice perfectly matches the song’s tender atmosphere, making for a beautifully polished result.
The piano’s sound makes this already gentle piece even softer, while Oku Hanako’s unwavering core draws listeners in.
It’s a sparkling song even when sung by a woman.
featherOku Hanako
If I had wings, I’d want to fly farther and farther.
This song, which sings about flying from where I am now to become someone who can warm another’s hand, gently envelops the hearts of those who feel anxious because they can’t do anything right now.
While Hanako Oku has many bittersweet love songs, she also sings encouraging songs like this.
petalOku Hanako
This is the theme song used as the main theme for the film “Killing Me and the One Who Won’t Die.” Oku Hanako’s clear, translucent vocals are truly striking! In particular, the beginning features only piano accompaniment, which puts her remarkable talent fully on display.
From the second verse, strings, drums, and a weeping guitar join in, shifting the atmosphere to something more moving.

MOTHEROku Hanako
Some of you may have had the experience of arguing with your parents and are thinking about apologizing.
MOTHER is a song that resonates with those feelings.
It’s a track written by singer-songwriter Hanako Oku for Neko96, and she later released her own self-cover.
In this work, set to a gentle piano melody, the lyrics express an apology for causing hurt and gratitude for being loved just the same.
Christmas NightOku Hanako
This is a sad love song by Okumura Hanako, with Christmas—the big event of winter—in the title, about a romance that has ended.
Last Christmas was spent with the person she loved, but this year she’s spending it alone.
It’s a song that looks back on the joyful Christmas she shared with that special someone, and on Christmas night, she wishes for their happiness from now on.
The sparkling strings, bell sounds, and choral vocals are wonderful, as if soothing the bittersweet lyrics!
