Mariya Takeuchi is a singer-songwriter.
Celebrating the 45th anniversary of their debut since last November, and actively reissuing their classic album "DENIM" in analog format last month, today it was announced that their new song "Days of Love" has been chosen as the commercial song for Airwave's "Walking Together" episode, featuring Mao Asada.

Days of Love" is a mid-tempo love song with a soothing melody that was written not only for this commercial but also for Airwave, and is typical of Mariya Takeuchi.
The song gently accompanies the video of Mao Asada talking about the appeal of Airwave based on her own experience, and adds to the commercial.

Days of Love" was composed by Tatsuro Yamashita and sung and written by Mariya Takeuchi.
Surprisingly, the song in this form dates back to "Waitress" from the 1981 album "Portrait," the first song composed by Tatsuro Yamashita and written and sung by Mariya Takeuchi in 33 years.
This song will be included on their first original album in 10 years, which is rumored to be released this fall.

Mariya Takeuchi Comment

It is an evening time to reflect on the events of the day and the progress made so far.
I always try to be happy before I go to sleep.
This song is about the longing for warm moments in such everyday life,
It is a small love song that we co-wrote together for the first time in a long time, with a melody written by Tatsuro Yamashita and lyrics by me.
This song and the smile of my favorite Mao inspired me on a night when the Taurid meteor shower was said to fall,
May it bring you all a good night's sleep.

I felt at peace with Mariya Takeuchi's gentle voice that seemed to envelop me.
It was the first time in 33 years that Tatsuro composed the music and Mariya wrote and sang the lyrics,
I am very honored to be working with you on the commercial.
I hope that my future and everyone's future will be happy days of wonderful love...
I listened to the lecture as I envisioned the future.
