Put it on as BGM during a drive with someone special, and you just might find yourself able to express the gratitude that you’re usually too shy to say out loud.
Something CertainKazumasa Oda
Resolving to love someone again with a heart that has once been hurt—this moving ballad captures that mature form of love, woven by Kazumasa Oda’s crystal-clear voice.
The sincere self-questioning—wondering whether one can truly protect the person with whom they’ll share the future—seems, if anything, to testify to the depth of that love.
Released as a single in May 2005, the song was created for a Meiji Yasuda Life corporate commercial.
Paired with publicly submitted photographs, it delivered a warm sense of emotion to everyone who saw it.
When you’re contemplating remarriage and feel a touch of anxiety about taking that next step, this song quietly—yet surely—whispers, “You’ll be okay,” and gives you a gentle push forward.
