It’s one of Noriyuki Makihara’s popular songs and his biggest hit.

It was also used as the theme song for the film “No Anomalies on the Job-Hunting Front.” The lyrics, which express feelings for a loved one straightforwardly, are really wonderful! It’s a timeless classic that never fades, no matter how many years pass.

Ketsumeishi often sings bittersweet songs, and this is one of their most popular.

It’s a moving love song that expresses the feeling of wanting to stay with someone precious forever.

The rap by Taizo and Ryo that comes in near the end of the track is especially captivating.

The piano solo leads into the intro, the vocal comes in on the first verse (A-melo), then it transitions in the pre-chorus (B-melo), building enjoyable anticipation for the chorus.

It might be classic Japanese pop.

I think the second verse will go by in a similar way.

And while we’re at it, how about some karaoke?

Saucy Dog is a three-piece band with two men and one woman.

It’s a love song that feels like he’s singing about a girlfriend he broke up with and who’s now far away.

The vocalist’s pleasant tone and the bittersweet lyrics make it a tearjerker, and when the female chorus comes in, another wave of tears hits!
