Readers’ Comments

《君という光》

“Bathing in the light called you, I breathe.”

How warm it must feel to have “you” to rely on in times of pain or sadness... This line conveyed that feeling directly to me. (Mayuka, 17)

When I imagine “you” as the person I love, it makes me feel so happy. (Taeko, 26)

It feels profound. Breathing seems ordinary, after all, yet it is indispensable. (Masayoshi, 18)

It conveys very clearly that the other person is someone extremely important. (Keiji, 18)

“Let’s find the place we are going together, just the two of us.”

It is a positive line about moving toward the future together. (Setsuko, 52)

“Hold me tightly again and again, because tomorrow may be the end.”

I feel it also means, “Since we don’t know what will happen tomorrow, we should treasure today.” I love it. (Hideaki, 26)

《夢みたあとで》

“If I expect nothing, I will lose nothing, yet I cannot stop seeking, no matter what kind of future lies ahead.”

It resonated with me so deeply that I cried while listening to it. (Aya, 16)

The lyrics are profound. They seem to echo in the deepest part of my heart, yet they still come across with incredible directness. (Kenta, 19)

“After dreaming, you are still far away.”

It is happy to see the person in a dream, but when you wake up and realize it was not real, you feel even lonelier. I have had that experience, so I understand it especially well. (Nozomi, 22)

“On lonely nights, what comes to mind is not so much the person I loved as the days when I was loved.”

Compared with the fact that I once loved someone, being loved is what has remained more vividly in my heart. It is sad, but it makes me feel that some things really do continue to shine. (Harumi, 26)

《僕らだけの未来》

“never end”

I can’t help trying to imitate Yuri Nakamura’s way of singing it. (Kimihiko, 18)

It feels so good! It has become one of my catchphrases. (Kazuya, 38)

“As if I could see it, our future alone, shining brightly.”

Listening to this song makes me feel more positive. (Shinichi, 28)

“Go and find the future that belongs only to us.”

I listened to it while preparing for my exams, and it encouraged me. (Maria, 17)

《夏の幻》

“Summer’s illusion—when I close my eyes, you are the first person I remember.”

For some reason, this scene naturally comes to mind. (Aya, 16)

“It’s all right even if you lose your way; please don’t let go of the hand you are holding.”

The feeling should be so fragile that it seems ready to break, yet this line makes courage gradually well up inside me. (Yoko, 21)

《スパイラル》

“As long as I laugh one more time than I cry, that’s enough.”

When I hear this line during difficult times, it makes me want to keep trying. (Yoshihiro, 17)

“As long as we meet one more time than we part, that’s enough.”

It is hard to put into words. It is a beautiful line that makes you instinctively think, “That’s exactly right.” (Yuu, 24)

《Mysterious Eyes》

“You and I are different people, so our tastes are different, as are the pace at which we walk and the ways we express our feelings.”

It makes me think, “That’s so true.” Because we are different, we sometimes miss each other or misunderstand one another, but it feels as if the line is telling me that it’s okay. (Akina, 20)

《Last love song》

“I pray this can become the beginning of my last love song...”

It matches how I feel right now, so it is a line I could never forget after hearing it once. (Emiko, 21)

《Jewel Fish》

“If you are going to draw a dream, it is better to do it together.”

I truly feel now that moving toward a dream together is happier than achieving one alone. (Junko, 27)

《永遠を駆け抜ける一瞬の僕ら》

“I want to stand beside you forever in a landscape where you are present; this endless wish keeps circling.”

I want to hear someone say this to me, and I want to try saying it myself too! (laughs) (Yuko, 19)

《wonder land》

“I want to gaze more honestly than anyone else; you are the only one I truly feel right now.”

I like how it conveys such single-minded feelings. (Toshimi, 15)
