Noriyuki Makihara - The Promised Place

This is the commercial song for “Knorr.” It’s a piece Mr.

Makihara provided to CHEMISTRY, and he also took part in the chorus.

They asked for something with the feel of a traditional song, and that’s how this track was created.

Throughout, it consistently conveys the message of not giving up on your dreams.

It’s a song of hope.

Green Days (Noriyuki Makihara) cover by Mana Nagao

A song by Noriyuki Makihara that served as the theme for the drama “Wishing on a Cow: Love & Farm” and was also used in a collaborative commercial with Toyota’s compact car Ractis, created in conjunction with the drama.

Its repetitive, simple melody makes it very easy to sing.

NORIYUKI MAKIHARA LOVE LETTER

Do you know the hidden gem by Noriyuki Makihara that portrays a faint, letter-bound first love? Centered around an undelivered love letter, it delicately captures the emotions of a protagonist seeing off someone dear who is leaving for a distant job.

The imagery—twilight at the station and scenes along the tracks—feels so vivid it tightens the listener’s chest with a poignant ache.

The song was included on the album UNDERWEAR, released in October 1996, and was later used as the theme for NTT East’s corporate commercial “Mother,” featuring Yui Aragaki.

This piece rekindles the unspoken kindness we couldn’t put into words and the bittersweet memories of youth.

It’s a song to savor, especially for those who’ve experienced a springtime parting or who carry unspoken feelings in their hearts.
