Motohiro Hata / Promise of a Sunflower (Short Ver.)

This is a song by skilled singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata.

It’s the theme song for the animated film “STAND BY ME Doraemon,” which portrays Nobita and Shizuka’s marriage.

Since it’s a gentle ballad, it’s also perfect for the letter-to-parents scene.

For a bride who loves Doraemon, it’s an obvious choice.

Motohiro Hata / Ai (Short ver.)

This is a song that makes you cry without meaning to, thanks to Motohiro Hata’s gentle voice, the sound of his guitar, and the tender lyrics.

Even though I didn’t believe in “love,” meeting you turned my ordinary days into something colored by the warm hue of “love.” After such a fateful encounter, people get married.

It’s a lyric that, in a way, expresses gratitude: because you were there, because I met you, I was able to gain that warm “love.”
