A ballad that portrays the bittersweet feelings of a man and a woman drawn to each other despite a promise not to fall in love.
The wavering heart caught between reason and emotion pairs beautifully with EXILE ATSUSHI’s deeply expressive vocals.

This is a track that resonates deeply with those who relate to the complexities of adult romance or who are striving to move forward while carrying a sense of longing.
Precious LoveEXILE ATSUSHI3rank/position
A gem of a ballad by EXILE ATSUSHI, whose vows of eternal love resonate in the heart.
Produced as his first fully fledged wedding song under his solo name, the spoken lines woven into the track give voice to the bride and groom’s resolve.
Released as a single in October 2014, it became widely beloved as the theme song for the Zexy wedding magazine commercial featuring Suzu Hirose.
Its elegant melody, carried by piano and strings, is perfect for moving moments such as the wedding reception entrance or the end credits.
Why not choose this song to convey the gratitude and love you don’t usually put into words to the partner with whom you’ll walk through the rest of your life?
SuddenlyEXILE ATSUSHI4rank/position
In 2020, EXILE ATSUSHI announced he would focus on solo activities.
That doesn’t mean he quit EXILE, though, so I hope we’ll see him sing in front of EXILE’s performers again someday.
This song portrays a man’s shock and regret after being abruptly told it’s over.
Yet the lyrics feel completely free of the clichés and inertia of old-school pop.
I think that’s a testament to ATSUSHI’s passion for songwriting.
Not every breakup leaves you feeling upbeat and positive.
This is a recommended track for those who want to properly mourn a heartbreak.
threadEXILE ATSUSHI5rank/position
A cover by EXILE ATSUSHI that wraps Miyuki Nakajima’s classic—likening human connections to vertical and horizontal threads—in deep affection and warmth.
From fateful encounters to lifelong bonds, his clear, luminous voice gently weaves the beauty of relationships as they unfold over time.
Released in July 2016, the song was also performed during his solo dome tour that same year, moving many listeners.
It’s a perfect track for moments when you want to reflect on precious time with not only a lover, but also with family and friends.
Just The Way You AreEXILE ATSUSHI6rank/position
This commercial expresses the expansive fragrance of Lenor Happiness through a scene of two people watching fireworks side by side.
It humorously portrays how the character’s attention is drawn to a sudden whiff of scent from the side, causing them to miss the fireworks.
The fact that Erika Sawajiri realizes the character is being distracted by the fragrance also adds an amusing twist to the story.
Further highlighting the calm atmosphere of such an ordinary everyday moment is the song “Just The Way You Are” by EXILE’s ATSUSHI.
The gentle vocals layered over the serene sound convey a relaxed mood.
Be BraveEXILE ATSUSHI + AI7rank/position
This is a collaboration song by EXILE’s ATSUSHI and AI, who was pregnant at the time.
The theme is “life.” I think it’s a perfect song for women who are currently nurturing their child in the womb.
Many people assume that once you become pregnant, you’ll be able to give birth without any issues, but in reality, pregnancy and childbirth can involve various complications, and sometimes you’re forced to make painful decisions.
The strength expressed in the lyrics—the resolve to protect your loved ones no matter what—will surely encourage women during pregnancy.
If you’re going through a tough time, please give it a listen.

Its heartrending lyrics and melody resonate with the sentimental season of autumn, tightening the chest.
Because it’s a song widely known across generations, it’s an enduring classic that will captivate anyone at karaoke.

In Toyota Home’s ongoing series of commercials featuring Yō Yoshida as the mother and Mayu Matsuoka as the daughter, the latest installment is the “Departure” version, in which the daughter leaves home to start university.
When the mother tells her daughter—who is lost in memories—that she can always come back, it brings tears to our eyes too.
The commercial uses Miyuki Nakajima’s “Ito” as its theme song, a track that has been covered by many different artists.
I can’t put it into wordsEXILE ATSUSHI10rank/position
This song, a cover of Kazumasa Oda’s classic, stays true to the original’s world while blending in ATSUSHI’s own unique sensibility.

ATSUSHI’s sweet voice is truly captivating.
