Shiawaseno Salad

In the Kewpie Half commercial “Quiche Toast Broccoli,” Masaharu Fukuyama’s song “Shiawase no Salad” is featured.

Although the song appears on his 2020 album AKIRA, it had already drawn attention before the album’s release for its gentle, memorable melody heard in the commercial.

Vegetables grown in many different places gather at the family table to become a salad, nourishing us humans.

The song carries a profound message: things we take for granted are not truly guaranteed, and we should remember to be grateful every day.

It’s a song that makes you want to thank the people who grow the ingredients, transport them, sell them, and the parents who prepare the meals.

Coin of Happiness

This is a classical guitar solo performed by Masaharu Fukuyama, who commands an overwhelming presence not only as a singer-songwriter but also as an actor.

Created as the main theme for the film The End of the Matinee, released in November 2019, the piece was newly composed by Yugo Kanno and supervised by world-renowned guitarist Shin-ichi Fukuda.

Unlike his usual singing voice, it conveys the story’s emotion and the passage of time solely through the guitar’s timbre, whose delicate resonance quietly stirs the listener’s heart.

It’s also surprising that this marked Fukuyama’s first attempt at classical guitar.

Precisely because it’s an instrumental without lyrics, it’s perfect as background music to enhance concentration while working or studying.

Masaharu Fukuyama – Akatsuki (Full ver.)

This is a work by Masaharu Fukuyama, written as the theme song for the drama “Television Future Heritage ORANGE: The Soulful Story of Firefighters Who Risked Their Lives on 1.17,” which focuses on the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake.

Set to a rich, weighty band sound, the song conveys a powerful will to find hope in the light of dawn that quietly arrives from the depths of profound despair.

Its lyrics, infused with reverence for life and prayers for rebirth, resonated perfectly with the drama’s worldview, which portrays the souls of people facing adversity.

The track was included on the April 2014 album “HUMAN” and was also used in a beer commercial.

Don’t you feel it’s the kind of song that stands beside those trying to overcome a painful past and take a new step forward, giving them energy for tomorrow?

Masaharu Fukuyama – Tokyo (Full ver.)

When it comes to songs you want to listen to when moving, you just can’t leave out tracks about Tokyo.

Many artists have released songs titled “Tokyo,” but this one is a love song sung by Masaharu Fukuyama.

The lyrics depict a man who left his hometown for Tokyo and a woman born and raised in Tokyo.

Thanks to Fukuyama’s rich voice and the song’s calm tone, listening to it brings a sense of tranquility.

It’s a track I’d recommend not only to those in a situation similar to the couple in the lyrics, but also to anyone looking forward to starting a new life in Tokyo.

Masaharu Fukuyama – Don’t Cry (Full ver.)

It’s a ballad that gently stays close to a heart sunk in sorrow and kindles a warm light.

Released in December 2004 as Masaharu Fukuyama’s 19th single, it was used as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series Wakaba.

It expresses the drama’s theme of “rebirth,” portraying a kindness that doesn’t force those who have endured painful experiences to cheer up, but instead simply remains quietly by their side.

The tone of the acoustic guitar—so complete that it astonished the arranger—further enhances that warmth.

Its melody, which seems to affirm you just as you are, will surely give you a small courage to start walking forward again.
