I’ll Never Meet You Again / Motohiro Hata

A sadness and heartbreak that come through just from the title.

That sadness and ache are woven deeply into the lyrics as well.

When you’ve gone through a breakup or lost someone important, the hole left in your heart doesn’t easily close… It’s a helpless feeling that surely everyone has experienced.

This is a wonderful song I hope you’ll listen to at such times.

This is a renowned song by Motohiro Hata, distinguished by a cool, electronica-tinged sound that begins with an atmosphere reminiscent of being submerged in the sea.

It masterfully captures the complexities of our modern emotions—the truth behind muddled words, the emptiness of layering a dry heart over reality, and the descent into self-deception.

Delicately portraying the subtleties of the heart and the ambiguity between “lies” and “truth” in human relationships, this track opens the December 2015 album Scenes of Blue.

As Hata himself notes, “In today’s era, it’s hard to tell what’s a lie and what’s real,” and the song vividly depicts feelings everyone has likely experienced in everyday life.

It resonates deeply with those struggling in important relationships or harboring complicated emotions.

Blow Through the Night Hata Motohiro

It’s a song by Motohiro Hata with a mature, sultry, moody chord progression and a bassline that feels great.

Though it’s a song about the night, it carries an exciting approach that urges you to burst into the world without going to sleep just yet—it even sounds like an invitation to try something a little mischievous.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to on nights when you’re not ready to sleep and still haven’t had your fill of fun.

Slave of LoveHata Motohiro54rank/position

Love's Slave (Koi no Dorei) - Motohiro Hata

“Love’s Slave” — quite a heart-thumping title, isn’t it? This song is included on Motohiro Hata’s 2012 release, the End Roll EP.

It’s a love song that conveys the desire to become a slave to love, even the wish to be that way if it means the other person will keep loving you.

You can really feel just how deeply the singer loves the other person.

For those who feel the same way, it might be a tearjerker.

It’s a track that even makes you a little envious of a love so strong you wouldn’t mind being tied down.

Love is a gentle flower of the field — Motohiro Hata

The Ichikami commercial featuring the translucent and radiant Maki Horikita uses the song “Koi wa Yasashi Nobe no Hana yo,” sung by Motohiro Hata, which is included as a B-side on his single “Q&A.” The song is based on the operetta Boccaccio by Austrian composer Franz von Suppé.

In the Taisho era, it was adapted by Asakusa Opera into a uniquely Japanese version and has been sung for many years.

Comparing the feeling of love to flowers, the song evokes a distinctly Japanese sense of refined elegance.

Motohiro Hata – Afterimage (Official Music Video)

This is Motohiro Hata’s fifth digital single, released in July 2022.

It was used as an insert song for TV Asahi’s Thursday drama “Roppongi Class.” While the song is a ballad that conveys a gently melancholic mood throughout, what becomes crucial when singing it at karaoke ultimately comes down to vocal expressiveness.

It’s important to avoid rough or careless delivery even in the high notes, and I feel it’s also essential to fully understand the lyrics’ content before singing.

[PV] Motohiro Hata “Tuzuru – Written by Everyone –” [Chinese/Japanese Subtitles]

This song features Motohiro Hata’s warm, heartfelt vocals that really sink in.

While delicately depicting everyday scenes and the changing seasons, it weaves thoughts for a loved one into a “last letter.” Included on the January 2013 album Signed POP, the track has no official tie-ins, yet it has become a popular choice for weddings and for reflecting on memories with someone special.

It’s a recommended song when you want to express gratitude and love, or when you need to gather your thoughts before parting with someone important.

Motohiro Hata – “Hana” Music Video

Hata Motohiro’s medium-tempo ballad “Hana” became a hot topic as it was specially written as the image song for Panasonic’s corporate commercial “The Story of Each Person.” It was released on vinyl for Record Day 2018 and included on the album “Copernicus” for the CD release.

It’s unusual in that it’s written from a flower’s perspective, but Hata’s delicate scenic depictions make it feel even easier to immerse yourself in the world of the song.

A fragile, beautiful presence.

Even if small, that feeling is surely powerful.

It’s a song that seems to support a heart on the verge of breaking, giving you the strength to stand with quiet dignity.
