Song of Apology: Make-Up Song (31–40)
The tomorrow we can’t return toaiko
It’s a wonderful song with Aiko’s cute vocals and a perfectly balanced tempo.
There’s a touch of wistfulness, but I love how Aiko’s music never gets too gloomy.
It feels like a song that lets you cherish those moments of being by someone you love and laughing over the little things.
revolutionMOROHA
It’s a song that brings band members and people chasing their dreams to tears.
The vocalist’s afro radiates such heat it makes your vision blur.
It’s a forerunner of the poetry reading trend you hear everywhere now, but I don’t think anyone else—before or after—has ever been recognized for the same style.
That’s how firmly they’ve established their own.
It’s moving to realize just how far you can go with just a guitar and a mic.
Million FilmsKobukuro
A song that portrays little quarrels and bouts of jealousy between a close couple—it’s so cute and it makes me feel happy when I listen to it.
Even with someone you love, you sometimes clash, but I think that’s how the two of you grow closer, and it leaves me with such a gentle feeling.
FightNakajima Miyuki
It’s an incredible song.
It’s not exactly saying ‘I’m sorry,’ but I feel like this song wraps up everything—the pain of being alive, the guilt, and all the hardships in this world.
It’s a song I want people who are going through tough times to listen to.
I’m sorryfukurouzu
When I listen to it alone at night, it makes me want to cry.
It has a slightly dark atmosphere, yet somehow it warms the heart.
I think it’s one of the great songs of the Heisei era.
Every single character of the lyrics makes you think, and before you know it, tears start to fall.
The emotional lift from the C-melody is irresistible.

Boy and Girl Love SongKiyoshi Ryujin
There are tons of cute girls in this world—really, that’s true.
Sometimes that can be encouraging, and other times it only highlights the words “it has to be you.” Kiyoshi Ryujin’s way of singing tears at my chest.
Face the changeEvery Little Thing
Among ELT’s songs, this one is on the heavier side.
The guitar riff is exceptionally cool.
It portrays a cool woman in the lyrics.
That said, the depiction of the couple’s dynamics not going so well is kind of amusing.
It makes you think the boyfriend has a lot bottled up, too.
By the way, it really gets the crowd going when you hear it live.
