Motohiro Hata – “Goodbye Isaac” Music Video

A song by singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata that was used as the ending theme for the anime Space Brothers.

Centered on acoustic guitar, it has a gentle sound that feels both refreshing and slightly languid.

The title bids farewell to Isaac Newton, the discoverer of universal gravitation, and carries the meaning of “liberation from gravity.” It’s a track that clearly conveys a bright, liberated mood, as if breaking free from whatever binds you.

Motohiro Hata / Sumire (Short Ver.)

A refreshing spring song by Motohiro Hata, titled after the spring flower violet (sumire).

It was used as the theme song for Mirei Kiritani’s drama “Sumika Sumire: A 45-Year-Old Woman Who Returned to 17.” Its brisk, wind-like melody that captures the freshness of spring makes it perfect for a driving playlist.

The lyrics describe a love that began suddenly—so glittering in the spring air it almost seems like a mirage—yet affirm that these feelings are genuine, not an illusion.

How about taking a drive with your springtime crush while listening to this track?

Straightener, Motohiro Hata – “Akari” MUSIC VIDEO

In the clear winter air, this is a song that lights a warm flame in the heart as you think of someone precious.

As the voices of Atsushi Horie and Motohiro Hata—each with their own distinct appeal—intertwine, you can feel the story gain a striking depth.

The gentle waltz rhythm mirrors the hurried steps on the way home, enveloping listeners in a tender mood.

Released in November 2017 as Straightener’s first collaborative single, it also drew attention for being featured in the winter campaign commercial for Nagasaki Huis Ten Bosch.

It was later included on the album “Future Soundtrack.” Give it a listen on those homeward walks in the season when we long for connection—when you want a quiet warmth to rest close to your heart.

Motohiro Hata “Icarus” Music Video - Film ‘Icarus: The One-Winged Town’ Ten Years and Eternity ver.-

Singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata has been active since the 2000s.

It’s truly remarkable that he has continued to thrive at the forefront for so many years with a musical style that resonates with young people.

I think many middle schoolers are fans of his as well.

Among Hata’s songs, the one that’s particularly easy to score high with at karaoke is Icarus.

Partly because it has a story-like feel, the overall vocal line is arranged to hold back on sheer power.

In other words, it’s a song that showcases the lyrics, so the melody isn’t very difficult.
