The original novel of the film was published in 2008 by Shinchosha.

This is the 2017 single that serves as the theme song for the film “The Miracles of the Namiya General Store.” It’s a ballad brimming with Tatsuro’s signature style, highlighted by his clear, resonant vocals.
The music video was directed by Ryuichi Hiroki, as with the film, and features the lead actress, Mugi Kadowaki.
a momentYamashita Tatsuro
Among the tracks on the album “MELODIES,” this is the one that left the strongest impression on me.
It wasn’t love at first listen, but the more I heard it, the more I started to think, “Maybe this is the best track on the album?” It’s a song with a lot of character.
Even if I can’t say “I love you.”Yamashita Tatsuro
A classic by Tatsuro Yamashita whose tender vocals and delicate musicality seep into the heart.
This work, which sings of a love beyond words, is a ballad written as the theme song for the TBS drama “Fuyu no Sakura” (Winter Sakura).
The single released in March 2011 also includes a live version of “Koukiatsu Girl” as the B-side.
With Yamashita himself performing all the instruments, the track reflects his uncompromising dedication to music.
It’s a song we hope those who struggle to express their feelings to someone precious will listen to.
Wrapped in Yamashita’s warm voice, why not take a moment to feel the deep love within your heart?
Rain fills my palmsYamashita Tatsuro
Although this song is from the Sugar Babe era, since the vocals are by Tatsuro, I’d like to consider it one of his songs.
In fact, regardless of the official credit, no matter who listens from any angle, there’s no doubt this is a Tatsuro song.
It’s a rain-themed track that still makes your heart dance—such a tune.
Morning GloryYamashita Tatsuro
“Morning glory” refers to the asagao flower.
There are countless songs themed around flowers, but I think morning glories are rather rare.
This song features a refreshing melody and gentle lyrics, perfectly suited for a summer morning when morning glories are in full bloom.
It’s a recommended track I’d love for you to listen to on a summer morning.
