This is a song that delivers pure love and gratitude for music, carried by an irresistibly body-moving beat.
Released in October 2022 as a digital-only single, it’s a landmark work that announced a new beginning for the everyday-life-singing band Ryutoku to Soinonegohan as a four-piece.
Featured as the closing track of their second album “Shiki,” it was also chosen as the ending theme for TBS’s “Osama no Brunch” in December 2022.
It coincided with Nun-san, formerly a support guitarist, officially joining the band, and the lyrics express thankfulness to the people they’ve met and to music itself.
Alongside a celebratory, festival-like sound that colored a milestone for the band, why not share a message of thanks with your cherished bandmates and music-loving friends?

This song expresses gratitude for the everyday and for nature through a crystal-clear singing voice.
Sung by Mai Kuraki, a singer marking the major milestone of her 25th debut anniversary, the track is included on the 2024 EP “forever for YOU.” It was specially written as the theme song for the “Decarbonization Ekiden 365” project.
With lyrics that make even our daily breathing feel precious, some listeners may find themselves reflecting on the environment around us and on the future as they listen.
It’s a highly message-driven number with a gentle sound that carries a quiet resolve and feels soothing to the heart.
I recommend listening with a calm mind while picturing the landscapes you want to cherish.

Among her repertoire, are you familiar with the celebrated ballad that overflows with longing for a lover to whom she can never return? The lyrics revive specific memories—the warmth of holding hands, the days when they called each other’s names—and many listeners say their hearts ache.
It portrays not only the pain of parting but also the way those feelings eventually turn into gratitude for the other person, making it a song that’s impossible to hear without tears.
Released on the July 2009 album “BIRTHDAY,” this track wasn’t a single, yet it steadily earned devoted popularity among fans through support at live shows and was later included on the best-of album “Hanako Oku BEST -My Letters-.” With its piano-and-voice simplicity that seeps into the heart, it’s perfect for nights when you can’t forget someone, or when you want to quietly accept the end of a romance alone.

A classic by Hikaru Utada that layers the image of cherry blossoms scattering with the ache of love.
Released in May 2002 as a double A-side single with “Letters,” the song was used as the theme for the TBS drama First Love.
Over a supple beat rooted in R&B flows a melodious beauty reminiscent of traditional Japanese music, tightening the chest a little more with every listen.
While reflecting the sorrow of parting in the falling petals, the lyrics also exude a quiet inner strength that looks ahead, gently scooping up the raw emotions of love.
It reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly chart and also served as a centerpiece of the album DEEP RIVER.
When the spring breeze brushes your cheek and you find yourself wanting to revisit past loves and farewells, press play.
Hikaru Utada’s soaring voice will gently awaken feelings you almost forgot.

The lyrics carry a positive message: gratitude for days gone by and the resolve to move forward into the future with memories as a passport.
That attitude—affirming the past while facing tomorrow—gently encourages anyone standing at a life’s crossroads, such as graduation or changing jobs.
Though not a single, it has long been cherished by fans.
Try listening to it as background music when you’re expressing thanks for the days so far and stepping onto your next stage.

Released as a single in June 2014, it features “Ore no Tabiji” as the coupling track.
