Thank youŌhara Sakurako

Sakurako Ohara – Thank You. (Music Video Short ver.)

My first thought was just, “It’s so cute!” I think it’s a song that makes you want to properly say thank you to your beloved friends.

I really want you to watch the music video too.

It’s a wonderful song packed with all the best things about Sakurako Ohara.

Promise of SunflowersMotohiro Kanade

Motohiro Hata / Promise of a Sunflower (Short Ver.)

This is his 17th single, released in 2014.

It was the theme song for the movie STAND BY ME Doraemon.

The song became a major hit, and many people may have discovered him through it.

You’ll be drawn in by his sweet voice and the poignantly heartfelt way he sings.

promiseKisaragi Chihaya (Imai Asami)

Promise 9th Anniversary

An insert song and ending theme for episode 20 of the anime The Idolmaster.

In the story, it’s a song whose lyrics were written by everyone at 765 Production for Chihaya, who became unable to sing after a childhood incident was covered by a weekly magazine.

Don’t dismiss it as just an anime—episode 20, in which Chihaya confronts her inescapably tragic past, is impossible to watch without tears.

While catching my breath / Sayaka Yamamoto

Many people may have come to know “Hitoiki Tsukinagara” from hearing Sayaka Yamamoto sing it.

The original song was released as a single in 2015 by Yuichi Ikuzawa, a singer-songwriter who has contributed to many Being (B-Zone) tracks.

I myself first heard Sayaka Yamamoto sing it in JT’s commercial on the TV program Another Sky, which led me to the song.

It’s a piece that powerfully conveys bonds—you can feel the warmth of humanity and the message that you’re not alone.

It’s been a great source of support when I’m tired, and whenever I hear it live, I can’t hold back my tears.

I want to keep moving forward, taking “a breather” with Hitoiki Tsukinagara.

A gem of a love song by Dai Hirai, filled with a heartfelt message vowing eternal love.

Give it a listen when you want to deepen your bond with someone special or convey your feelings to the one you love.

Let’s become a familyFukuyama Masaharu

Masaharu Fukuyama – Let’s Become a Family (Full ver.)

It’s become a wedding classic, hasn’t it? I hear this song a lot, too.

Since it was originally performed as a guitar-and-vocal piece, I think it’s easy to sing.

Because it’s a melody everyone knows, deliberately changing the lyrics and singing it that way could make it even more moving.
