To my belovedGReeeeN

It was the theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama “Oh, My Dad!!” in 2013.

In your thirties, a little more mature than in your twenties—getting married, starting a family, raising kids—you start to understand, little by little, what love really is.

That’s why these lyrics will resonate and move you to tears.

As you experience life’s ups and downs, you realize how important it is to be able to keep going because of someone’s presence.

It’s a moving song that makes you grateful—simple, but it lets you recognize the happiness of having someone important by your side.

This song, included on Mr.Children’s second album “Kind of Love,” also drew attention when it was used as an insert song in the finale of the 1996 drama “Pure.” From Sakurai’s calm vocals and the lyrical content, you can take away a variety of messages.

You’ve probably already been through one or two heartbreaking, painful, and frustrating breakups now that you’re an adult.

You might be thinking, “I’ll never meet someone I can care about this much again…” But don’t get so pessimistic! Being told that time will heal it doesn’t feel comforting, I know—but if you listen to this song, I’m sure it’ll make things at least a little easier.

It makes me want to cry.Urufuruzu

When no matter how hard you try it just doesn’t work out, or when something happens that truly shakes your soul, this is the kind of song you’ll want to hear.

It’s a classic by Ulfuls, one of Japan’s greatest rock bands.

Tortoise Matsumoto’s soulful vocals will shout out exactly how you feel.

Perfect for when you want to sink into your feelings a bit—highly recommended.

Give it a listen!
