"Prologue" FULL ver.

Uru is known for a singing voice that gently accompanies bittersweet stories.

The song we’re introducing today is a gem of a ballad that tugs at listeners’ heartstrings.

Written as the theme for the TBS drama “Chugakusei Nikki,” which began airing in October 2018, its lyrics resonate with many, mirroring the show’s sensitive worldview.

Beginning with quiet piano tones and building toward a chorus where emotions overflow, it represents the epitome of a “tearjerker ballad,” crafted by Uru, who wrote and composed it, and arranger Tomi Yo.

Upon its early digital release, it topped the charts on major platforms and was later included on the album “Orion Blue.” If you’ve experienced a sad love or are looking for a night to cry your heart out and cleanse your soul, this is a must-listen.

This is a ballad brimming with an all-embracing gentleness that makes you rethink the meaning of the word “miracle.” Released in November 2017 as the theme song for the TBS drama “Kounodori” Season 2, it was also included on the first album “Monochrome.” Arranged by music producer Keiichi Tomita, the majestic sound that gradually unfolds from a tranquil piano beautifully highlights Uru’s transparent vocals.

The lyrics, which depict how precious everyday life truly is, overlapped with the drama’s moving scenes and touched the hearts of many.

It’s a gem of a song you’ll want to listen to when you want to feel the presence of someone dear nearby, or on a night when you wish to spend time in peace.
