Naotaro Moriyama – Kazahana (Windblown Snowflakes)

A delicate yet grand medium-tempo ballad, its clear falsetto by Naotaro Moriyama resonates deeply in the heart.

Released in November 2005 as his ninth single, the song was chosen as the theme for the NHK morning drama series Haruka of the Wind (Kaze no Haruka).

The lyrics depict a fleeting scene of snow on distant mountains dancing in the wind, mirroring the heroine’s pursuit of her dreams and perfectly aligning with the drama’s world.

The track was later included on the album Kazemachi Kousaten and was also performed on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s a song that quietly instills courage on a winter morning when you’re taking a new step forward.

Naotaro Moriyama – Sakura (Solo)

Naotaro Moriyama duets on his signature song “Sakura (Dokushou)” with Michiko Shimizu.

While Moriyama sings tenderly, Shimizu keeps slipping in choruses by doing an exaggerated impression of his mother, Ryoko Moriyama, which makes Naotaro involuntarily burst into laughter—an endearing moment to watch.
