Meguro River

The acoustic version is very mellow, while the original version is pop in a good way.

It has a fair bit of speed, and the changing seasons come to mind.

In spring, it really makes you want to go to the Meguro River.

A song with that much realism.

Ami Sakaguchi “URL” Music Video / Ami Sakaguchi – URL

Singer-songwriter Anbo Sakaguchi, who aspired to be a musician in elementary school and even worked as a radio DJ in high school.

Her 6th single “URL,” chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime Horimiya -piece-, is delightful with its cute vocals and pop ensemble.

The lyrics tell the story of wanting to be able to go see the person you like right away, a feeling that resonates even more strongly thanks to the instantly imaginable phrase “URL,” especially for younger generations.

It’s an emotional number that brilliantly contrasts a timeless, universal longing for love with contemporary imagery.

Blue AmbienceMrs. GREEN APPLE

Mrs. GREEN APPLE – Blue Ambience (feat. asmi) [LIVE “Utopia” on WOWOW]

A youthful pop tune that captures feelings of admiration and insecurity toward someone else, along with the desire to break out of one’s shell.

Despite its refreshing sound, the song portrays love—sometimes awkwardly, sometimes straightforwardly—in a way that beautifully expresses the delicate emotions of today’s youth.

Included on Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s mini-album “Unity,” it was selected as the theme song for ABEMA’s romance reality show “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita: Hatsu Niji-hen” in June 2022.

It’s the perfect track for moments when you want to reset your mindset and take a step forward.

Saucy Dog “Ah, geez.” Music Video

This is a song by the three-piece band Saucy Dog that captures the delicate feelings of a woman with an unrequited crush.

It portrays her emotional ups and downs in response to the other person’s suggestive behavior, and the anxiety and self-loathing she falls into while waiting for a reply on LINE.

Featured in collaboration with Morinaga’s “DARS” and as the theme song for the drama “Dekinai Futari,” the track sings of a resolve to drown in love.

It’s a must-listen for high school students who can’t hold back their feelings for someone they like.

Why not listen to this song and find the courage to take a step forward?
