Himawari

The protagonist, who had been living in a dark world, ends up meeting “you,” someone dazzling like the sun—the beginning of a forbidden love as sung by SEKAI NO OWARI.

Listening to this song, you can feel that bittersweet thrill of knowing the person is off-limits, yet realizing thanks to them your world is starting to gain color.

Maybe it’s precisely because the melody is light and pop that it tightens your chest even more.

This track is included on the acclaimed album “Lip,” which topped the Oricon charts in February 2019.

It’s a song that gently stays with you in that helpless rush of feelings at the moment you fall in love, even when you know it won’t be returned.

SEKAI NO OWARI「silent」

Set on a quiet winter night blanketed with falling snow, this is a winter song that portrays a bittersweet longing for love.

Released in December 2020, the track drew attention as the theme song for TBS Television’s Tuesday drama “Kono Koi Atatamemasu ka” (“Shall We Warm Up This Love?”).

In contrast to the festive atmosphere of Christmas, it delicately expresses the feelings of a protagonist who senses loneliness amid the silence.

The pain and solitude of a love that has ended resonate through its beautiful melody and profound lyrics.

This heartwarming piece offers comfort to those spending winter nights alone and to anyone feeling the ache of love.

“Starlight Parade” is a song written in 2011 as a joint radio campaign song by NHK and the Japan Commercial Broadcasters Association.

In 2014, it was also used in a commercial for Toyota’s Ractis.

The track features strings and timpani, creating a grand, beautifully lush sound.

It’s perfect for listening under the starry sky on Tanabata.

While the song itself was produced for a radio program and isn’t directly related to Tanabata, it’s sure to enliven the night of the festival.
