Masaharu Fukuyama Tama-Riku 'Dear' (with lyrics) 2014.01.11

It’s a very cool song with Masaharu Fukuyama’s sweet vocals.

I’m envious of a woman who is loved so much that she can feel her partner even from far away.

A relationship where being apart only deepens your feelings and makes you cherish the other person even more is truly wonderful.

The theme song for the drama “Mio—The Days You Were Here—,” which portrays 13 months of love between Mio, a female college student who develops a serious illness, and Taichi, who falls in love with her.

The melody is beautiful, of course, but especially considering that it’s the tie-in song for this drama, the lyrics make it a very heartrending love song.

Masaharu Fukuyama – IT’S ONLY LOVE (Full ver.)

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.
