Mutual love, unrequited love, familial love... classic songs that sing about affection

Protect you, love youSambomasutā

[LIVE] Protecting You, Loving You – Sambomaster

I feel like there are as many catchphrases describing Sambomaster—like “Evangelists of the Soul” or “Rock of Tears”—as there are listeners.

Whether we’re feeling down or bursting with joy, in any situation, Sambomaster is right there with us.

This song is the same: when you get anxious and lose confidence in your ability to love someone, it feels like it gently whispers, “That’s not true.” The lyrics depict a man pledging his love to a woman in the rain—probably a torrential downpour.

There’s no such thing as perfection, but I’ll protect you no matter what: in those words, I’m reminded once again of Sambomaster’s deep affection.

It’ll make you cry!

Mr.Children 'Stock Phrase' Music Video (Short ver.)

This is a song that lets you understand how a man feels.

I think girls will find it heart-fluttering.

Because he cherishes his girlfriend, his straightforward feelings of anxiety and loneliness are expressed, and it really resonated with me.

His voice is great too, so I keep listening to it over and over.

"Love Letter" MUSIC VIDEO / Every Little Thing

A sublime ballad you’ll find yourself wanting to hear when winter’s chill sinks into your bones.

It opens with a tranquil piano tone, gradually layered with strings, as if pent-up feelings were beginning to overflow.

Kaori Mochida’s delicate breath work gently conveys the subtle shades of emotions that words can’t capture.

Released by Every Little Thing in December 2004, the song became widely beloved as the theme for the film “A Love Letter from Heaven” and as a cough drop commercial tune.

It topped the Oricon weekly chart and was performed on that year’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, capturing the hearts of many.

Perfect for times when you want to reaffirm how much someone means to you, or when you’re in the mood for a heartwarming moment.
