The lyrics are so exhilarating that they blow away the weariness and daily stress of life in your 30s.

Released after the Great East Japan Earthquake, this song was ranked No.

1 as a “track that encourages everyone” by SMAP.

This is a song about gratitude released in 2009 by the female duo Dew.

It was also used in NTT East Japan’s “DENPO” TV commercial, so many women might remember it when they hear it.

The song’s refreshing feel and soaring quality are wonderful, and it would feel great to sing at karaoke.

In your thirties you start to see many things more clearly, and you may find more chances to feel grateful.

Singing this song at such times will remind you of the joy of having met someone important.

Both the vibe and the melody make it exceptionally easy to sing!

It’s a lovely track, soothing with the beautiful voice of the female vocalist.
