RainHata Motohiro

Continuing to suppress the emotions lying deep within the heart, left helplessly drenched in the rain.

While feigning gentle connections with others, the intensity inside cannot be contained.

This is the quietly infused, solitary and stunned state of mind captured in one of Motohiro Hata’s renowned songs.

Its weighty melody and clear, understated vocals illuminate the protagonist’s emotions like a single spotlight.

The song was used as the ending theme for Makoto Shinkai’s animated film The Garden of Words starting in May 2013, and was included as a coupling track on the single “Kotonoha” as a cover of one of Senri Oe’s signature pieces.

It resonates as a song that accompanies late-night drives or quiet moments spent with someone special.

A trendy piece that makes you feel like you’re in a bar at night.

It’s a song by Masayuki Suzuki, the king of love songs, included on his second album, “Radio Days,” released in 1988.

The lyrics are by Mariya Takeuchi, with composition and arrangement by Tatsuro Yamashita.

The words portray a breakup with a lover and the anxiety of being alone, and listening to it feels almost like watching a romantic drama.

Speaking of the signature song that brought BONNIE PINK’s name to wider recognition, it would be the 1997 single “Heaven’s Kitchen.” An album of the same title was also released and reached No.

8 on the Oricon Albums Chart.

“Heaven’s Kitchen” was the first song she both wrote the lyrics and composed, and it was used in a commercial for Ajinomoto Mayonnaise “Pure Select.” It’s a loud, cool rock tune with electric guitar and drums, and the contrast with BONNIE PINK’s languid, world-weary, adult vocals is part of its appeal.
