Hitsujibungaku – When It Shines (Official Music Video) [TV Anime “The Heike Story” Opening Theme]

When you’ve worked yourself too hard and it’s hard to breathe, this is a song that gently stays close to your heart.

Chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime The Heike Story, it was released in January 2022 and later included on the acclaimed album our hope.

The lyrics and melodies woven by Moeka Shiozuka of Hitsujibungaku hold a beauty like moving toward the light while still carrying pain.

From a quiet address, the band sound suddenly opens up your field of view, and you’ll feel your heavy burdens grow just a little lighter.

This is a work I especially want people in their twenties to hear on those nights when you want to throw everything away and wash your emotions clean with tears.

Surrender yourself to the warm sounds, and let’s do our best again tomorrow!

Acid Black Cherry “Sleeping Princess” MV

Affectionately known as ABC, Acid Black Cherry ceased activities in 2017.

Their song “Nemuri Hime” is a single released in 2009—a gentle yet heartrending love song told from a male perspective.

Yasu’s clear, transparent vocals amplify the sorrow even more, making it a heartbreak song that brings tears with its lyrics.

Though the lyrics convey a man’s painful feelings toward a woman he can no longer see, it’s a track that tightens the chest of listeners regardless of gender.
