A CM was shown during the final episode of M! There's a new song!

「拝啓 わたしの小さくて

　永遠に世界一の天使へ」





約2年ぶりとなる新曲「オヒアの木」が

本日0:00より配信限定でリリースされました！

ayuにとってデビュー以来初の”日本語タイトル”で、

「Who...」や「HEAVEN」を手掛けた菊池一仁氏作曲による珠玉のバラード。

是非チェックしてください！

「オヒアの木」歌詞を見る：https://www.uta-net.com/song/287373/

First Japanese title since debut! Name on sites seems to be "Ohianoki" for Apple Music but "Ohia no Ki" is probably what we'll end up using.

words : ayumi hamasaki
music : Kazuhito Kikuchi
arrangement : Yuta Nakano

According to tweets and other information, this song was written for her son and is like a letter to him. The name comes from the Ohia flower/tree in Hawaii it seems and may correspond to a Hawaiian legend!

Kazuhito Kikuchi gave Ayu a song maybe like 10 years ago or so and mentioned it on his blog but Ayu never ended up using it. This might be that song.

初めましての涙だったり
初めて指繋いで眠った日とか
初めて全てがダメな気がして
初めて隣で泣き明かした日とか
初めてだらけの2人だったね
でも君とだから
乗り越えられたんだよ

笑う時にね片方の目が
きゅっと閉じるとこがおんなじ
眠い時にはふくれっつらして
下唇つきだすのもおんなじなんだよ

君は君の名をいつ知るんだろうか
それとももう知ってるかな
レフアがオヒアの木に寄り添うように
優しく強い花を咲かせたように

そんな想いを込めたんだよ

冷たい雪の降る日は
この胸で休まればいい
激しい夏の日には
どこまでも自由に駆け出せばいいと
そうやって見守っていくよ
ずっと

君は君の名をいつ知るんだろうか
それとももう知ってるかな
君が君の名をいつか尋ねたなら
その時はどんな風に言おう

Ah- レフアがオヒアの木に
寄り添うようにと花を咲かせた日
Ah- まあるく漂う風が
新しく私らしい生きる意味を教えてくれた

そんな事を伝えようかな
