Along with the splendor of nature, it warmly portrays young people forging a bright future, like flowers that bloom after enduring a harsh winter.

Izakayaitsuki hiroshi, kinomi nana

A man and a woman who meet by fate at an izakaya.

As if to fill the loneliness hidden deep in their hearts, they fall into a love that lasts only one night.

They don’t ask each other’s names or share personal histories—just surrender to the moment’s atmosphere.

This love song, a duet by Hiroshi Itsuki and Nana Kinomi that poignantly portrays the bittersweet feelings of mature lovers, has been cherished since its 1982 release as a karaoke staple thanks to its simple melody and exquisitely divided vocal parts.

Why not sing it with your favorite drink in hand, while basking in memories of youthful romance?

Stray KokirikoNariye Shōhei

Born from the motif of Toyama Prefecture’s folk song “Kokiriko-bushi,” Hagure Kokiriko delicately portrays the feelings of lingering attachment while yearning for news and rumors against the backdrop of Mount Tateyama, as well as the image of a woman singing in the snowy hot spring town of Etchū.

The burning emotions of nineteen and twenty, and the unforgettable memories of a precious spring, are gently expressed as two people rhythmically clap chikuzudake (bamboo clappers) together.

Released as a single on November 21, 1999, it earned a Platinum Gold Disc and won the 41st Japan Record Awards Composition Prize and the 32nd Japan Cable Radio Awards Composition Prize.

A celebrated classic, it’s the perfect song for moments of quiet reflection on days gone by.

Carried by Shohei Naruse’s rich vocals, it will quietly accompany your heart as you stand at a turning point in life.
