Lyric

Arigato ~Grace of Thankfulness~ (feat. Towa)

Koki Kobayashi

難しい授業のあと うつむいてた帰り道

テストの赤い線も 今なら いとしくて

くじけそうな日にも あの空は青かった

それでも歩めたのは あなたがいたから

支えてくれたあなたの手のひら

名前を呼ぶたび 強くなれたよ

ありがとう ありがとう

この青春に

ありがとう ありがとう

光と影に

あなたは見てくれてた

ああ 泣いた日も

ありがとう ありがとう

きっと 忘れない

お母さんの背中 小さく見えた日

私を産んでくれた その重さを知った

お父さんの微笑み 不器用な優しさ

孤独な夜のほとりで耳を傾けてくれたね

言えなかった悔しさも全部

笑ってた影も抱きしめるよ

友だちのざわめき 胸を叩いた

痛んだ数だけやさしくなれたよ

ありがとう ありがとう

この青春に

ありがとう ありがとう

光と影に

あなたは見てくれてた

ああ 泣いた日も

ありがとう ありがとう

ずっと 忘れない

答えが見えなくて進めないときも

季節は巡る 縁と恩を

今この歌に

ありがとう ありがとう

この青春に

ありがとう ありがとう

この人生に

お母さん 産んでくれて ありがとう

お父さん 見守ってくれてありがとう

感謝します

    Arigato ~Grace of Thankfulness~ (feat. Towa)

    Koki Kobayashi

"Arigato (Grace of Thankfulness)" is a gentle beam of light quietly
reaching every soul that has known the weight of shadow.
A prayer of forgiveness and renewal offered by EverLuma (Koki Kobayashi feat.Towa).

This J-POP hymn does not deny the loneliness, pain, or heaviness of
the past. Instead, it tenderly honors the unwavering love of God that
continued to exist even in the midst of those shadows.

"Arigato (Grace of Thankfulness)" was born from Koki Kobayashi's own
journey--growing up within a difficult parent-child relationship and a
complex, dysfunctional family. Through his life, he came to recognize
the presence of God who watched over him, and the unconditional love of his grandmother. These memories are transformed into a universal word of gratitude: "Arigato"--Thank you.

The lyrical scenes--
"The day my mother's back looked so small,"
"My father's awkward yet gentle smile"--
are rooted in Koki's real experiences with his grandmother. Yet they
open a warm space for each listener's own memories: the "important
person" in their life, and the quiet, nameless kindness woven into
everyday moments.

Centered around Towa's deeply expressive voice, the arrangement
blends grand piano, warm woodwinds, delicate synthesizers, and a
gentle rhythm section. Rather than imposing any specific faith or
doctrine, the song resonates as a quiet affirmation and prayer for
anyone living through these challenging times.

Released worldwide on Apple Music, Spotify, and more,
"Arigato (Grace of Thankfulness)" carries a message of love and
gratitude that excludes no one.
May it accompany your own memories, and offer a moment of gentle
light.
