AiHata Motohiro75rank/position
A ballad by singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata.
What exactly is “ai” (love)? You can’t see it to begin with, and even if someone says, “Love is there,” it’s hard to grasp.
But when you meet someone precious, when your hands and hearts touch, ordinary days gently become something you cherish.
When you feel it’s become so important that the thought of losing it scares you, that might be what love is.
