Stellar Days by Motohiro Hata, famed as the theme song for the anime “A Star Brighter Than the Sun,” is a masterpiece.

While the anime centers on romance, the lyrics carry a somewhat grand impression, yet they mesh well with the show, making the song highly memorable.

It leans toward the emotional side, and the verses through the pre-chorus evoke a dreamlike atmosphere.

With so many facets packed into a single track, it’s a piece that grows richer the more you listen.

Be sure to check it out.

This commercial showcases Kirin Tokusei Lemon Sour against a backdrop where vibrant yellow stands out, while clearly highlighting its delicious taste.

It features Kento Kaku enjoying a lemon sour at sunset; the smile he shows evokes the rich flavor that supports a sense of happiness.

aiko - Kabutomushi (Hata Motohiro ver. cover)

Released in 1999, this is one of aiko’s classic love songs that continues to be cherished.

Singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata—known for songs like “Himawari no Yakusoku”—covered it on Fuji TV’s now-defunct, iconic music program “Bokura no Ongaku.” His delicate vocals, once described early in his career as a “voice of steel and glass,” resonate beautifully.

It’s just irresistible.

Both artists are renowned for their ballads, and perhaps that’s why there’s a certain kinship between them.

I really hope this cover gets an official release.

Motohiro Hata – “Metro Film” Music Video

As the hot summer ends and the weather becomes more comfortable, autumn is the season that makes you want to head out for walks or take a bus or train for a little trip.

A perfect song for that mood is Motohiro Hata’s “Metro Film.” In this song, the protagonist rides a train alone and lets their thoughts wander.

It feels like listening to someone else’s monologue, but when you listen to it while riding a train, your feelings start to align with the protagonist’s, and it can feel as if the song was written just for you.

It’s a track that lets you experience that sense of unity with music.
