Hello i want to ask about the song Arigatou no anata ni. I'm vietnamese and my english isn't good enough. I'm so sorry. Ummm, do you mind about this?. I hope not hehe. I only find 1 video on youtube about this song and 1 video cover. I really really love this song but both videos are in japanese name so i can not find it if i use another youtube account or use others device. Can i ask why don't they popularize this song? Like Hontou no oto or Fukurou. And i can't find any informations about this song on google except your blog.Why this happens. Can i know that.And, byeee. I hope to see your reply soon. See you soon
Hello!
I'm so sorry, I didn't get a notification about your message earlier. I hope you haven't been waiting for too long!
That is indeed an obscure song! KOKIA wrote Arigatou o anata ni in 2012, for the 2012 Japan Junior Chamber Summer Conference. It was released as a single, but it was only on their website, not KOKIA's own web shop or in stores. She performed the song at the closing ceremony of the conference in 2012, and possibly a couple of times after that. She hasn't mentioned the song since. Basically, all information I know can be found here on kokiafans. As you can see, it's not a lot.
My guess is that, unlike Hontou no oto and Fukurou, KOKIA wrote this song for someone else, not for release on one of her own albums. She may not have the rights to use it again or to promote it. Or she may not want to, because she feels it was exclusive for that event. As far as I know, we don't have an official explanation, so this is the best I can do.
Hopefully that answers your question at least a little. If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I'm more likely to see it quicker if you send your question to @kokiafans, as that is my main KOKIA blog.
