A song I want people who have lost a beloved partner to listen to

The word mibōjin originally referred to a woman who had lost her husband.

It’s a term that isn’t used much these days, but it was originally used to refer to oneself, and it has appeared in various contexts—such as drama and movie titles, as well as song lyrics.

In this article, we’ll introduce songs we hope will be heard by those who have lost a beloved partner: women who have lost their husbands, men who have lost their wives, or anyone who has lost someone dear to them.

We’ve gathered love songs that express feelings for a loved one who has departed for heaven, as well as songs that convey messages from those who have passed on.

Please listen while thinking of your special someone.

Thank youKOKIA

“Arigatou” is KOKIA’s third single, released in 1999, and it was also included on her album “songbird,” which came out the same year.

The album was released in Hong Kong as well, and Hong Kong singer Sammi Cheng’s Cantonese cover of “Arigatou,” titled “ARIGATOU,” reached number one on the charts.

You can really feel the strength of the desire to express gratitude seeping through the lyrics.

If there’s something you wish you could have said but couldn’t—and it still weighs on your mind—please give “Arigatou” a listen!
