It’s a passionate message song that expresses gratitude to someone precious and sings, “If I could, I’d want to be with you forever.” It’s a track by UVERworld, a mixture rock band from Shiga Prefecture, released in 2011 as their 18th single.

The straightforward lyrics, as if transcribing honest feelings as they are, leave a strong impression.

The performance itself is intensely charged, with emotional guitars and powerful drums.

Thank youAkashiya Sanma

Sanma Akashiya Kai Yoshihiro Thank you

“Thank You,” a gratitude song by Akashiya Sanma—the comedy star who has been loved by many in Japan for decades—was written and composed by Yoshihiro Kai.

This number portrays the bittersweet love of adults.

Even while knowing the love won’t come true, it depicts a scene where one coolly and elegantly says “thank you” for a fleeting moment that felt as if their feelings connected.

Even if you know the romance won’t progress, sometimes a small gesture from the other person can fill your heart, right? Your chest tightens with a mix of fullness and lingering fragility.

It’s a recommended track for those experiencing a wistful love that makes you want to say thanks even for just a brief meeting of eyes.

HY - “In Love” (Theme song for the film ‘366 Days’) Music Video

A song by HY that gently sings about the preciousness of love realized after a breakup.

Even if one isn’t the person chosen, it conveys a positive feeling of gratitude for the joy and growth that the encounter brought.

Unlike typical heartbreak songs, it resonates deeply with its stance of embracing past love as a cherished memory.

Included on the album “TIME,” this piece was created as the theme song for the film “366 Days,” set for release in January 2025.

It’s a song that offers comfort to those who have experienced parting with someone dear and wish to hold those memories as a source of strength.

As a song filled with gratitude, it continues to resonate in the hearts of many.

Released in December 2008, it was created as the theme song for the Beijing Olympic broadcasts.

Rather than depicting binary oppositions such as victory and defeat, light and shadow, it expresses how they complement one another.

The empathetic message woven into lyrics that distill emotions born naturally in everyday life will surely give you a gentle push forward.

Theme song from 'A Chorus from Heaven' – 'Arigatou' PV

Stereopony’s “Arigatou” is a tender yet heartrending song that expresses gratitude to someone you can no longer meet.

It was chosen as the theme song for the film “Yell from Heaven,” starring Hiroshi Abe and Rie Mimura.

Not just words of thanks—precious feelings need to be spoken while you still can, because you never know when you might no longer be able to say them face-to-face.

That’s why, even if it feels embarrassing or hard to put into words, it’s best to express your gratitude in the moment.

Listening to this song will make you want to thank the people who matter to you right away.

It’s an especially recommended number for those who find it hard to say a straightforward “thank you.”

Produced as the theme song for a film set in wartime Japan, this work resonates deeply with listeners alongside a moving story.

Masaharu Fukuyama’s uniquely delicate sensibility and musical talent blend beautifully with the film’s worldview.

Sung from the perspective of a kamikaze pilot, this ballad centers on the theme of “the happiness of living each day now,” questioning timeless notions of pure love and the meaning of life.

Episode ~Because We’re Family~NEXT-STYLE

Dad, Mom… thank you… A song for my parents at our wedding [MV] episode ~Because We’re Family~ / NEXT-STYLE from BIRTH ALL STARZ [NEXSTA]

NEST-STYLE is a vocal group known for catchy melodies reminiscent of 2010s J-pop.

Many of you may already know them, as they’ve topped the charts even during their indie days.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “episode ~Because We’re Family~.” Its theme is a straightforward expression of gratitude to one’s parents, and both the lyrics and the melody are crafted to be clean and unadorned.

Definitely give it a listen.
