Ikimonogakari 'Arigatou' Music Video

This is Ikimonogakari’s 18th single, written as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series Gegege no Nyobo.

Released in May 2010, it won an Excellence Award at the 52nd Japan Record Awards.

The lyrics, which tenderly portray the love nurtured in everyday life and gratitude toward those dear to us, resonate deeply.

The warmth conveyed by holding hands and the hope for a shared future are expressed through a gentle melody that warmly embraces listeners.

In the 2013 school year, it was included as a choral piece in high school music textbooks, and it has also become a popular staple for graduation ceremonies.

It may feel a bit embarrassing to put into words, but this song is perfect for conveying thanks to the teachers, friends, and family who have supported you.

Why not sing it to express your honest feelings along with your memories of junior high school life?

Sonoko Inoue – The Most in the World

Singer-songwriter Sonoko Inoue, known for songs that capture the cute feelings of girls, is very popular.

Her track “Sekai de Ichiban” (“The Best in the World”) is one of her signature songs—a love song that deeply resonates with women in love.

Even if it’s not your first crush, a first date or a first experience with someone you like can make your heart race—moments filled with nerves and excitement.

Starting from that fluttering feeling, this love song conveys how the bond between two people deepens.

Men will likely find themselves drawn into the lyrics too, imagining themselves in the story and feeling their hearts pound.
