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.”
