Macaroni Empitsu “It’s Nothing,” MV

A song I want long-distance couples to listen to is Macaroni Empitsu’s “Nandemonai yo,” released in 2021 as their tenth digital-only single, which reached No.

1 on Billboard’s streaming chart.

The lyrics, which sing about being so connected at heart that neither bodies nor words are necessary, really hit home when you listen.

Being physically far apart can make you anxious, but on the day you finally meet again, be sure to spend it listening to “Nandemonai yo.”

GReeeeN – Orange

This is the 16th single by GReeeeN, a four-man vocal group who have all stated that their main profession is dentistry and who have performed with their faces hidden since debut so as not to interfere with their primary work.

The song was used in a Shiseido Sea Breeze commercial.

From an opening that begins with a crystal-clear vocal and builds into a brisk, fast-paced arrangement, it really lifts your spirits.

The lyrics, which convey one’s current feelings while recalling youth, let you feel the ongoing story of a couple in the present tense.

It’s a refreshing rock tune perfect for listening to on a special anniversary.

Ten Rules of Confessionerica

erica “Ten Confession Rules” PV

The song “Confession 10 Rules” is packed full of a girl’s sweetest feelings.

It’s a collection of the kinds of words men would love to hear from their girlfriends, presented as the “10 rules of a confession.” If she sang a song like this on an anniversary, you’d probably end up hugging her without thinking (laugh).

It might be pretty embarrassing for a woman to give this song, but her boyfriend will absolutely be delighted.

If you usually have trouble being honest, but want to be genuine—just for your anniversary—and make him happy, definitely try listening to this song together with him.
