I have not been able to get this song out of my head for months now. I'm not able to fully understand the lyrics, but it's no matter. I can still recognize a great song when I hear it, even if I can't fully understand the language it's written in. Hata Motohiro's (秦 基博) nation wide hit "Himawari no Yakusoku" (ひまわりの約束) (Sunflower Promise) was the theme song for the 2014 motion picture "Doraemon: Stand By Me." The melody moves like a warm summer breeze, flowing up and down with ease. The vulnerability in Hata's voice makes you want to cry. And if the lyrics are just as heartbreaking as the rough English translation, they should be equally captivating as this song's other beautiful qualities.
I recently wrote an English verse to this song.
