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.

It’s a song I want to give my child on the very day they were born—their birthday—with a heartfelt message.

Since no two days are ever the same, it sings about the beauty of life and cherishing each day.

Okubo Hanako’s sweet voice is also soothing.

It’s the ultimate love song about wanting to keep loving someone, even if it’s unrequited or you’re just friends.

Of course, it would be wonderful if that unrequited love came true, but even if it doesn’t, the desire to keep loving them is heartrending.
