It’s a song themed around heartbreak, and the two items—the poetry book from the lover and the portrait tucked between its pages—are striking and play an important role in the lyrics.

Just by listening to the song, the lyrics let you imagine the story unfolding.

Among those lyrics, the wind appears as something that helps distract “me,” who has been heartbroken.

As a support song for the Great East Japan Earthquake, AKB48 released “The Wind Is Blowing.” The song drew attention for being “unlike a typical idol group” in a good way.

Akikaze no Answer was released in 2014 as Flower’s eighth single.

It was selected as the theme song for the Yomiuri TV/Nippon TV drama “Binta! — The Legal Clerk Minowa Solves It with Love.” The lyrics, which portray a love so single-minded it’s heartbreaking, pair beautifully with the sound that evokes vivid scenes.

The Wind RisesNakamura Ataru

The song that became the theme for the movie “GeGeGe no Kitaro: The Millennium Curse Song” has a storm-like power and intensity, doesn’t it? We often say a favorable situation is a tailwind and adversity is a headwind, and in this song, a headwind appears.

No matter how adverse the circumstances, the way it faces them head-on with strength is truly inspiring.

Be sure to listen to the powerful vocals that seem to connect with the film’s story.
