Kitearashi

ARASHI – Kite [Official Music Video]

A widely beloved Arashi number known as the “NHK 2020 Song.” Written by Kenshi Yonezu, it was released in July 2020 as the group’s 58th single.

Like a kite soaring high on the wind, the song carries a message of warmly watching over those who, though uncertain, keep moving forward.

Its gentle sound centered on piano and strings, combined with the grand harmonies of the five members’ voices, resonates deeply.

First performed from the National Stadium at the end of 2019 on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen, it was later included on the album “This is Arashi.” Debuting at No.

1 on the Oricon Weekly Ranking, it became a nationwide hit certified million-selling.

If I had been living aloneSUPER BEAVER

SUPER BEAVER "If I Had Lived Alone" MV

It’s precisely because I’ve walked alongside someone that I am who I am today.

This song delivers that simple yet easily forgotten truth straight to the heart.

It’s included on the four-piece rock band SUPER BEAVER’s 12th single, released in June 2020, and was chosen as the theme song for the film “Water’s Edge Flight.” The frustrations and joys you couldn’t have experienced alone, and the encounters with those who become precious to you—these feelings that only arise through connections with others surge to the fore alongside a powerful rock sound.

The structure, which builds heat gradually from a quiet opening, is superb, and by the time it ends, your heart will naturally feel warm.

[Ado] Sunflower

It’s a song that delivers a positive feeling, like a flower blooming straight toward the sun.

Released by Ado in July 2023, it was written as the theme song for the TBS drama “18/40: Dreams and Love if We’re Together.” It carefully portrays the wish to gradually change one’s timid self and gratitude toward someone important, gently resonating with those facing the milestone of graduation.

The lyrics and composition are by Miyuhan, with arrangement by 40mP, and Ado’s powerful vocals soar over the bright, up-tempo melody.

As a graduation song that gives you the courage to walk toward the light while holding the days spent with friends in your heart, it’s definitely worth a listen.

Aimyon – On the Night the Cherry Blossoms Fall [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

This is a spring song by Aimyon, released in February 2021 as the theme for the romance reality show “Don’t Be Fooled by Wolf-chan.” Set in the season when cherry blossoms flutter, its lyrics honestly express feelings for someone special and are particularly striking.

It delicately portrays the frustration of a love that defies logic and the bittersweetness of watching someone move on to a new environment.

It’s recommended for those whose feelings for someone are deepening with the arrival of spring, or for anyone seeking a song to accompany a season of new encounters and farewells.
