Furusato/Arashi with lyrics 💎 High-quality full audio 🎧 Furusato - ARASHI (cover)

This is a song written specifically for the 61st NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

Its content can truly be described as a nursery rhyme sung by Arashi.

With a relaxed tempo and a gentle, almost admonishing delivery, the lyrics remind us of the importance of the familiar things around us—people, places, and more.

It’s a song I’d love for you to listen to when you’re feeling a little tired.

Just from hearing the intro, you’re already drawn in.

Woven over a gentle, unhurried piano is the story of a farewell between “me” and “you.” It speaks of how much meeting you saved me, and the loneliness of parting from you—those are the feelings it conveys.

It’s a masterpiece that inspires empathy, letting listeners of any age picture the scene in their minds.
