Aoi Teshima – Embraced by the Wind (Official Video)

Many people find that Aoi Teshima’s whisper-soft singing voice alone soothes the heart.

This track’s warm, classically tinged melody—woven from piano and strings—gently wraps around the listener.

And the lyrics’ determination to face forward despite inner conflict will surely resonate with many.

Scheduled for release in July 2025, it was originally a commercial song, and because its worldview aligned with the film “The Town with Storehouses,” it was also chosen as the theme song.

It’s a piece that lightens the heart when you’re feeling lost.

Kaela Kimura “Butterfly” [short ver.]

Speaking of weddings, this is the song! Kaela Kimura’s signature track “Butterfly.” It’s famous for having been written specifically for her best friend’s wedding and was used in Recruit’s Zexy commercial.

I imagine many people have used it at their own weddings, haven’t they?
