A timeless masterpiece that gently cradles the feelings of a lost love, overflowing with bittersweet longing and tenderness.
Its sweet melody and emotionally rich vocals weave a heart-stirring love ballad that portrays a love unchanged even after a farewell.
Released in April 2000 as Masaharu Fukuyama’s 15th single, it was chosen as the theme song for the “Mirai Nikki V” segment of TBS’s “Unnan no Hontoko!” and ranked second on Oricon’s annual singles chart that year.
Healing hearts and resonating with many throughout the year, this song is perfect for the spring season.
While carrying the pain of parting, it conveys a pure wish for the other person’s happiness—an exquisite love song to listen to during spring’s farewells and new encounters.

A song by singer-songwriter Masaharu Fukuyama, who continues to make his presence felt across a wide range of fields from music to acting.
It’s a self-cover of a track by KOH+, his unit with female singer Kou Shibasaki, and is included on his 10th album, “Zankyo” (Reverberation).
The depiction of not wanting to sever ties with someone even after breaking up, even after falling out of love, is something anyone—especially right after a heartbreak—can relate to.
With its rich piano sound and soothing low register vocals that gently cradle a wounded heart, it’s a breakup song with real depth.
SquallFukuyama Masaharu4rank/position
One breakup song from the ’90s that you just can’t leave out is this very track by Masaharu Fukuyama.
It’s a love song that’s also a breakup song, and a breakup song that feels like a love song.
Those heart-trembling lyrics flow along with his sweet voice.
The songs in which he sings from a woman’s perspective captivate everyone, don’t they? It’s almost mysterious how deeply he understands a woman’s delicate feelings.
“Squall” is a self-cover of a song he originally provided to singer Eiko Matsumoto.
Both versions are charming, aren’t they?

When you’re going through the pain of a breakup, having a good cry on your own can be one way to feel better.
In times like that, I recommend Masaharu Fukuyama’s “Nagareboshi” (Shooting Star).
It’s a track from his 2009 album Zankyo, and its intro featuring saxophone and shakuhachi leaves a lasting impression.
The lyrics, told from a woman’s perspective as she puts the brakes on her feelings—telling herself she mustn’t fall for the other person—evoke a poignant sadness as you listen.
When it’s tough, let yourself cry your heart out, then refresh yourself and take a confident step forward!
IT’S ONLY LOVEFukuyama Masaharu6rank/position
This is one of Masaharu Fukuyama’s signature numbers, which became widely known in living rooms across Japan as the commercial song for DyDo Drinco’s “DyDo Blend Coffee,” and marked his first million-selling hit.
Released in March 1994, it also achieved the remarkable feat of topping the Oricon Weekly Chart for four consecutive weeks.
Despite its refreshingly rock-flavored sound, the lyrics reveal lingering attachment and a sense of loss toward a former lover, making it a heartbreak song where the more bravado you show, the more the sadness wells up.
Arranged by Makoto Saito to sit in a comfortable vocal range, it’s also appealing in how easy it is to sing with feeling.
It’s a classic I recommend when you want to look forward while reflecting on a past love, or when you want to belt it out at karaoke and feel refreshed.
