I’m totally in love.CANDY TUNE
A pop-rock tune packed with sweet, melting feelings of love and a slightly thrilling, heart-pounding excitement.
It’s included on the album “Double Double FIGHT!” released in October 2025 by Harajuku-born idol group CANDY TUNE.
The song has been performed on their nationwide tour and on TBS’s “CDTV Live! Live!”, and is beloved as a crowd-pleasing staple that unites fans.
It’s perfect when you want to make a move on someone you like or express the fun of love with all your might.
In the chorus, try singing as if you’re delivering overflowing love while imitating the cute choreography!
Love will winKAN
It’s an iconic cheer song of the ’90s and a timeless classic still sung across generations.
It held the No.
1 spot on the Oricon weekly chart for eight consecutive weeks and won the Grand Prize in the Pops/Rock category at the 1991 Japan Record Awards.
The melody line is easy to remember and really sticks with you.
The phrases are surprisingly long, so be careful not to run out of breath when singing.
Aim for a grand delivery, consciously taking a breath at each point.
Also, the final chorus modulates and goes higher.
Rather than singing it the same way as before, take in even more air and imagine releasing it all as you project your voice—doing so will likely make it feel great to sing.
I want to love rather than be lovedKinKi Kids
Released in November 1997, this is KinKi Kids’ second single.
It was written as the theme song for the NTV drama “Bokura no Yuuki: Miman City,” starring Koichi Domoto and Tsuyoshi Domoto in dual lead roles.
Coming right after their debut single “Garasu no Shonen” sold around two million copies, it was truly a make-or-break release.
The lyrics were penned by Hiromi Mori, with music composed by Koji Makaino.
Set to a sleek, urban dance beat, it powerfully portrays a young person’s resolve to take the initiative in love rather than remain passive.
Even while chafing at a reality that doesn’t go their way, the determination to keep moving forward by continuing to care for someone is deeply affecting.
It debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and became a hit with cumulative sales topping 1.64 million.
It’s a song I’d especially recommend to anyone who feels clumsy in love but wants to take that first step.

blue skyaiko
In the Mercari commercial that aired in 2020, Aiko’s song “Aozora” was featured.
Released in the same year as the commercial, the song portrays the end of a painful love.
Many people have probably experienced something similar to what the lyrics describe—feeling so heartbroken that looking back only makes it worse after a breakup.
For times when you feel, “I can’t move forward just yet,” or “I want to linger a little longer in a past love,” this is a song that gently stays by your side.
Only You ~Summer Heartbreak~Sazan Ōrusutāzu
A poignant classic that colored the summer of 1995.
This exquisite heartbreak ballad portrays lingering feelings for a summer romance that has ended, set against the backdrop of a beautiful seaside scene.
Released as a single in July 1995, it became a major hit as the theme song for the drama “Itsuka Mata Aeru” (Someday We’ll Meet Again).
It was later included on the acclaimed album “Young Love,” and has become a special number—so much so that Keisuke Kuwata has called it “one of my favorite songs” among his own works.
The rich, weighty sound and Kuwata’s voice, which gives full voice to helpless, aching emotion, truly resonate in the heart.
Blue BenchSasuke
This is one of Sasuke’s signature songs—a ballad that portrays the regrets of youth and a bittersweet love.
The melody line is simple with many repeats in the chorus, making it easy to learn and recommended for beginners.
The overall vocal range is D3 to A#4, which I think is comfortable for both men and women.
It works well as a duet with harmonies, but it’s also perfectly singable solo.
Since it doesn’t require belting, you won’t need much volume.
The last chorus modulates upward, so using your falsetto skillfully will help you sing it beautifully.
If you like to sing gently and with feeling, consider adding it to your repertoire!
The Color of Thank YouSakushi Sakkyoku: Baku-san
“Arigatou no Iro” (The Colors of Thank You) is written and composed by Baku, an active nursery school teacher and creator of craft-play activities.
It’s a heartwarming song that expresses gratitude for memories, friends, teachers, and parents by comparing them to “colors.” The children’s sincere feelings of thanks gently resonate with listeners.
In addition to being available on Baku’s YouTube channel, the song is included on the CD “Arigatou no Tabidachi: Graduation Songs & Songs as Gifts.” The official shop also offers sheet music in a four-page A4 format, considerate of on-site performances.
With its relaxed tempo and focus on clear lyrics, it is well-suited for senior kindergarteners’ graduation ceremonies and recitals.
When everyone unites their hearts and sings together, the entire venue is sure to be filled with warm emotion.
