Fujii Kaze – Michi Teyu Ku (Overflowing) / Official Video

While Fujii Kaze often sings about salvation and self-acceptance, this song—chosen as the theme for the film “My Girlfriend Will Be Here in April”—is one of his masterpieces that beautifully portrays loss and renewal.

The film was released in March 2024.

The sound, where stillness coexists with rising emotion, has a purifying quality that seems to cleanse the listener’s heart.

The melody is unhurried, with a structure that values the spaces between words.

The vocal range isn’t extremely wide, so if you like to sing in a conversational, intimate way, you’ll likely find it very comfortable.

Letting go of pain, feeling your heart fill—its appeal lies in evoking that sensation.

It’s perfect for a quiet night when you want to immerse yourself in music alone.

Be sure to savor its deep afterglow!

With a sweeping, world-encompassing perspective coexisting alongside a warm gaze that watches over an individual’s steps, it is a healing song that stirs a quiet sense of wonder.
