A Certain Thing – Kazumasa Oda

A cover video of a song used in a commercial, whose vocals and lyrics moved people across Japan.

It’s a track that carries countless irreplaceable memories, making them feel as if they’re appearing right before your eyes even now.

It’s a masterpiece you’ll want to listen to while thinking of someone dear and cherished memories—one that gently supports us as we look back on the history of our lives and step forward into the future.

Glittering – Kazumasa Oda

This is the 21st single by singer-songwriter Kazumasa Oda—former lead vocalist of the band Off Course, known for timeless classics like “Sayonara” and “Yes-No”—who now performs as a solo artist.

The song was featured as the theme for the TV drama Koi no Chikara and the information program Hirukyun!.

With its refreshing intro and Oda’s gentle, delicate vocals, it’s a number that truly resonates.

Its positive message—treasuring the present moment and leaving the future to be considered when the time comes—will surely lighten the hearts of those hesitating on their dreams.

It’s an uplifting track we hope those unable to take the first step toward their goals will listen to.

Kazumasa Oda himself Kotoba ni Dekinai Full

Released by Off Course in 1982 and later self-covered by Kazumasa Oda, this song is well-known as a life insurance commercial theme.

It’s also widely recognized as a tearjerker.

I believe it’s a timeless classic loved across generations and one that will be sung for years to come.

EME-C3012 For the Children Yet to Be Born / Kazumasa Oda [Mixed Chorus, 3 Parts]

Just the title alone really tugs at your heartstrings, doesn’t it? If it were your own child, you’d find them all the more irresistibly adorable.

I want to carry this sense of wonder from childbirth with me forever.

I also recommend it as a cheer song during delivery.
