A Kiss of Affected SplendorNEW!shallm
A song you’ll want to listen to on nights when you’re tormented by relationships that can’t be smoothed over with pretty words and emotions you can’t show anyone.
Set to a thrilling arrangement that fuses jazz and rock, it portrays the true feelings behind superficial words and the aching emotions you long to say but can’t.
This track was released in July 2025 by shallm, who had put out the album “charme” in October 2024.

When you search for Aimyon’s songs, the phrase “chord progression” always appears at the top of the results.
It seems everyone admires Aimyon and plays the guitar! This song, which was also the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “news zero,” would switch me into a reflective mood whenever it came on—like, “A lot happened today, but here I am watching TV now,” and I’d quietly look back on the day.
It’s a song where Aimyon encourages you to keep moving forward even as you question yourself—whether what you want to do is truly your own desire, and whether you really love the person you’re drawn to.

Love is enviable.Nogizaka 46
It portrays envy and resignation as we watch others’ relationships without ever being able to express our own feelings.

It’s an Under track with 5th-gen member Hina Okamoto as center.
Despite its bittersweet theme, the sound is an up-tempo pop tune with a forward-driving momentum, and that contrast is part of its appeal.
Recommended for times when you want to stay positive and keep pushing on, even while carrying frustrating emotions.
