Mika Nakashima “Firebird” Music Video

Set to a magnificent orchestral sound, Mika Nakashima’s powerful vocals resonate in this dramatic ballad.

As the ending theme for an NHK TV anime based on Osamu Tezuka’s original work, it was released in June 2004 as her 12th single—so many of you may already know it.

Carried by a fleeting yet beautiful melody, the timelessness of love handed down across time overlaps with the image of a legendary bird that overcomes hardship and is reborn.

The track was later included on the album “MUSIC.” When you want to reflect on the grand flow of life and fate, immerse yourself in this expansive world.

It will surely leave you deeply moved.

Mika Nakashima “Hanataba” Music Video — Theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama “Otona Joshi.”

The lyrics and music were written by Koji Tamaki.

It’s a song that captures the world of a drama where a grown-up woman in her forties—no longer just a “girl”—sees her dreams come true.

The lyrics, which express gratitude for everyday things and put those feelings into words with a heartfelt “thank you,” are truly beautiful.

The piano performance matches the song perfectly, giving it an even softer, more feminine feel.
