Dai Hirai / THE GIFT (Music Video)

The title track of Dai Hirai’s album “THE GIFT,” released in July 2019.

Used as the theme song for the animated film “Doraemon: Nobita’s Chronicle of the Moon Exploration,” this heartwarming piece centers on “miracles” and “destiny” that connect the past and the future.

With gentle vocals and a catchy melody, it celebrates cherished memories with loved ones and the preciousness of bonds.

The “miracle,” portrayed as a gift from the moon, symbolizes the time and memories shared together, conveying that they become hope for the future.

It’s the perfect song for moments when you want to look back on treasured memories with someone or feel that hearts remain connected even when apart.

Hirai Dai / My Little Rose (Lyric Video)

A song like a love letter that Dai Hirai dedicated to his beloved child.

It conveys the joy of becoming a parent, the worries, and the deep love, all set to a gentle melody that celebrates a child’s birth.

Released digitally in September 2022, the track is said to even include the baby’s first cry.

It’s a warm piece that lets you feel the preciousness of new life and the bonds of family.

Perfect for expressing gratitude to someone special or for listening together as a parent and child.

Highly recommended for those raising children or eagerly awaiting the birth of their own.

ARIGATOB’z

B’z / ARIGATO

A message song by B’z expressing their gratitude, also included on the album “B’z The Best Pleasure II.” It was used as the theme song for TV Asahi’s broadcast of the 2004 Athens Olympics, so many people might think, “Oh, that song,” when they hear it.

The lyrics can be interpreted as saying, “You must not stop moving forward.

A victor may be lonely, but they aim even higher,” while also hinting at appreciation for those who offer support.

It’s a moving piece, making it a perfect choice for background music at farewell or appreciation parties.

Happy Summer WeddingMōningu Musume.

Morning Musume. “Happy Summer Wedding” (MV)

A song that could be called a quintessential early Morning Musume track, with 4th-generation members Tsuji, Kago, Ishikawa, and Yoshizawa added.

The Arabian-inspired vibe in the music and costumes—though inexplicable—has that delightfully offbeat, idol-like charm.

You’d expect the lyrics to follow that line with themes like “a boyfriend my age or a senior I admire…,” but in a classic Tsunku♂ twist, it turns into an expression of gratitude to one’s parents.

If you’re shy about saying “thank you” face-to-face, singing this at karaoke as a gift could be a great idea.

It’s such a bright, cheerful song that it’s also wonderful for siblings to sing together!

Thank youHY

Thank you, HY.

This is a song by HY that straightforwardly expresses gratitude to the people who stood by your side when you were struggling and gave you energy no matter the circumstances.

Its bright rhythm and radiant chorus are striking, and the overall sound conveys positive feelings directly.

While it centers on the image of those important people who supported you and the happiness you received from them, it also portrays the desire to become someone who can bring happiness to others.

It’s a song that conveys a wish to be there for each other and a strong sense of connection—the feeling of wanting to continue spending time together from here on.
