Gimmick GameNinomiya Kazunari
Depicting betrayal and mind games between a man and a woman, this song leaves a strong impression with its provocative lyrics and seductive melody.
Told from a female perspective, the lyrics intertwine suspicion toward the other person with the singer’s own wavering emotions, unsettling the listener.
Included on the first-press limited edition of the album “Dream “A” live,” it also drew attention for having lyrics and music written by Kazunari Ninomiya.
With its mysterious aura, it’s recommended when you want to immerse yourself in a world that stirs the emotions.
What is emotion?This is LAST
This is LAST is a three-piece rock band.
Their song “#What Is Affection” is a bittersweet infidelity track that was also featured as an insert song on ABEMA’s original dating show “The Bachelor and the Little Wolf Won’t Fool Me.” What makes this song compelling is that it doesn’t depict cheating scenes directly; instead, it weaves together a woman’s lines and a man’s lines, crossing to suggest a single story and indirectly portraying a past mistake through the lyrics.
Because the imagery invites interpretation, the song can feel different depending on what you imagine—making it easy to project onto your own situation.

Ren is a singer-songwriter who gained attention after his singing-with-acoustic-guitar videos on TikTok.
Known for delivering songs that resonate with young people, he released “I Can’t Bring Myself to Hate You” in 2021.
The song expresses the restless feelings of discovering that the person you love has someone else.
Even knowing they will drift apart, the lyrics portray a yearning that still reaches out for the other person—something many listeners may relate to.
Set to a beautiful yet fragile, piano-centered band arrangement, Ren’s vocals convey the heartrending emotions of someone who has been cheated on.
I love you, liar.Onda Masanori
This is a song by Masanori Onda that feels like casting affection into the distance—love that will never reach its destination.
Centered around the warm tones of an acoustic guitar, it evokes an image of quietly confronting one’s inner emotions.
It straightforwardly portrays the regret of continuing a relationship even after realizing there was infidelity, and the persistence of love despite that.
Even after the person has left, the lingering affection remains—and the way that feeling torments the self is expressed with a poignant, heartrending atmosphere.
