Jpop Recommend #312 Kaeritakunattayo by Ikimonogakari

帰りたくなったよ Kaeritakunattayo

いきものがかり Ikimonogakari



Released in April 2008, this is the band's 9th single.  The song matches well with clear voice of vocal, Kiyoe Yoshioka. It made us homesick and cry.

This is one of the most popular songs for this band but there are many more!  If you like this song, try their other songs like: 
花は桜 君は美し Hana wa sakura kimi wa utsukushiSAKURAありがとう Arigatou, and Yell
