Rihwa is a fourth-generation Korean resident in Japan from Hokkaido and a singer-songwriter who has also served as a Hokkaido Tourism Support Ambassador since 2020.
Her major 5th single, Harukaze (Spring Breeze), written as the theme song for the TV drama The Hours of My Life, is a pleasant number featuring a clear, cute vocal and a richly layered ensemble.
Its unchanging message of love for someone dear resonates all the more in spring—the season of meetings and farewells.
Accompanied by beautiful string melodies that stir the heart, it’s an emotional spring song.
Thank you for meeting me.Rihwa2rank/position
A song I’d love to give to someone special: Rihwa’s “Arigatou, Deatte Kurete” (“Thank You for Meeting Me”).
It’s a love song that tells you, “I’m who I am because I met you; any moment is happiness as long as you’re there.” The lyrics are straightforward and take courage to say, but precisely because it’s important, you want to put it into words, right? If you give this song, overflowing with love and gratitude, I’m sure your partner will be delighted.
It’s such a wonderful love song that it could make everyone around who’s listening feel happy, too!

This song has lyrics entirely in English.
It strikes a balance that works precisely because it’s in English.
I feel that if it were all in Japanese, it wouldn’t mesh with the melody this well.
Rifa’s voice also suits the melody perfectly.

Her song “Snowing Day” also features the cheerful sound she excels at.
The melody itself is simple, so it’s relatively easy to sing.

It features lyrics that portray the bonds between teammates and a powerful melody.
Released digitally in July 2024, the track has become beloved as the theme song for GOGIRL, a running community for women.
Centered on the joy of running and the importance of companionship, the song was created based on insights gained from actually going for runs.

It’s perfect not only for runners but also for anyone ready to take a new step forward.
How about adding it to your morning jog or runs with friends?
