What was born at that time

This is a song that slowly soaks in the importance of family and connection.

When you live apart, it’s easy to go without seeing each other’s faces, but it’s still a masterpiece that reminds you of the deep bonds that tie you together and makes you suddenly want to pick up the phone.

Be Nankuru-kunBEGIN30rank/position

BEGIN / Be Nankuru-kun (Music Video)

BEGIN captivates with a warm yet powerful sound that only three musicians from Ishigaki Island, Okinawa could create.

This piece, which closes their first masterful album in seven years, Taiyo (The Sun), is a song that deeply evokes the spirit of the island songs at their roots.

The Okinawan phrase “nankuru nai sa,” which carries the profound meaning, “If you keep doing the right thing without losing heart, a good day will come,” resonates gently through the melody.

Even as we are buffeted by the waves of life and bear the sorrow of losing what we hold dear, these lyrics softly encourage us to keep facing forward, warming the heart as they do.

When your heart feels a little tired, why not let yourself be wrapped in the kindness this song offers?

Their laid-back sound is the kind of music that could only come from an island nation.

BEGIN / Ozzy’s Proud Orion Beer

Formed by childhood friends from Ishigaki Island in Okinawa, BEGIN is a three-piece acoustic band whose hometown-loving songs have been cherished for many years.

Their track “Ojii Jiman no Orion Beer,” used as the CM song for Orion The Draft, is included on the concept album “Begin no Shimauta ~Omoto Takeo 2~.” The lively ensemble paired with visuals featuring Okinawa natives active in various fields is a perfect match for Orion Beer.
