If You Call That Love

If there's something you want to protect, then there's a future there I'll come to pick you up, wherever you are If you get battered and worn out by the wind and rain Laugh at my uncool appearance This is the theme song for the drama 'My Family' starring Kazunari Ninomiya, sung by Uru. At first, I only heard the first verse in the drama, and then when I heard the full song, I found myself tearing up, remembering it. It's a song where the lyrics, wrapped in gentle words, beautifully capture the preciousness you realize only when you're about to lose something, and the dignity of the ordinary. Every part of it is wonderful, but the chorus of the first verse particularly stuck with me. It's recently been used at weddings, and I think it resonates with anyone who has friends, children, or loved ones. The world is full of hardships and difficulties, and you can't live on cool things alone. But to have a place to return to, to have someone there, to be accepted for who you are... This delicate wish for such small happiness is summarized in these few lines. It's a song that heals the heart with Uru's gentle, warm, and slightly husky voice.
