Unchanging Things ~since 1976~

KOKIA’s singer-songwriter number “Kawaranai Koto ~since 1976~” conveys the feeling of telling those who have supported you, “Watch me as I do my best from here on.” Released in 2003, the song was chosen as the theme for the drama “Beloved.” When graduating and leaving the teachers and parents who have cared for you, expressing gratitude is of course important.

But the lyrics also depict the idea that not only saying thank you, but showing through your actions that you’ll work hard from now on is a true way to repay those who helped you.

Why not listen to this song and feel a form of gratitude expressed not just in words, but in attitude?
