Spot the differenceSuda Masaki

Masaki Suda 'Machigai Sagashi' (Spot the Difference)

Masaki Suda’s signature song “Machigai Sagashi” is a love song themed around spot-the-difference puzzles often found in picture books.

The lyrics and composition are by the wildly popular Kenshi Yonezu, and the track is filled with his distinctive world.

Yet because it’s sung by Masaki Suda, it also carries his unique character, making it a masterpiece.

Whether the world I live in is wrong or right doesn’t matter—I just love you.

You can feel that powerful emotion.

Being able to feel that way would be the best.

I want to hug you.Mr.Children

Mr.Children “I Want to Hold You” Mr.Children [(an imitation) blood orange] Tour

“Dakishimetai” is one of Mr.Children’s most popular love songs and a signature track of theirs.

It tells of meeting a woman you want to walk through life with, and overflows with affection for her.

I’ve heard the song was originally written for the wedding of their friend, Kazuya Miyata.

If you’re thinking about getting married, or if you’re hoping to find a love you can devote your life to, be sure to give it a listen.

Its grand atmosphere and sweet, heartrending melody are deeply moving—and can bring you to tears.

This is a song released in September 2020 by singer-songwriter Mosawo, who has been drawing attention with his signature track “Gyutto.” While “Gyutto” is a happy couple’s song, this one is about unrequited love.

It’s an easy listen, with gentle sounds and Mosawo’s voice slipping in smoothly.

It sings of the joy of meeting someone you like and the hesitation that keeps you from making a move—something anyone with a crush can surely relate to.

People you like somehow just seem to sparkle, don’t they?

Love Story Comes SuddenlyOda Kazumasa

Love Story Suddenly – Kazumasa Oda

Despite being a giant of folk music, Kazumasa Oda remains hugely popular.

Among his songs, “Love Story wa Totsuzen ni” is particularly famous.

It’s a masterpiece that captures the start of a romance with lyrics that are unique yet straightforward.

It was also the theme song for the legendary drama “Tokyo Love Story,” which is still talked about today.

The lyrics that every Japanese person can sing vividly express both the importance of a chance encounter and the fear of missing it, reminding us once again of how remarkable Kazumasa Oda is.

GReeeeN – Love Song

For this song’s music video, many people might think, “Wouldn’t it be fine to just go around the glass in the middle?” But there would have been no progress without deliberately breaking through the wall of the heart.

According to director Terry Ito, he wanted to convey that while it could have been avoided, doing so would render it meaningless.

Even among GReeeeN’s catalog of straightforward lyrics, this is a masterpiece that powerfully depicts a man’s feelings.

It expresses the importance of meeting someone and the desire to walk forward together from now on.

And please, whatever you do, don’t nitpick the MV.

Gen Hoshino – Fushigi (Official Video)

It’s a warm number that gently embraces those indescribable feelings that arise between people you hold dear.

Have you ever felt that inexplicable sense of “Why do I love this person?”—not just the thrill of romance, but the unexplainable emotion that surfaces as two people meet and build a relationship? Gen Hoshino delicately captures those mysterious, cherished feelings with a sound that fits right into everyday life.

Written in April 2021 as the theme song for the TBS drama “Kikazaru Koi ni wa Riyuu ga Atte,” the track was also included on the single “Fushigi/Souzou,” released in June of the same year.

It’s a recommended song for those moments when you suddenly feel like expressing gratitude to an irreplaceable presence by your side, whether a partner or a friend.

The song sings about the fact that even with someone you’ve met and come to spend time with, there are still many differences in values.

Within that, it expresses a man’s straightforward desire to do what he can.

Yamazaki Masayoshi’s distinctive vocals and the poppy melody are popular.

It teaches you the most important thing in love—that despite everything, you still love them.

The music video is brimming with a bubble-era vibe.

It’s an amusing track that plays on the contradiction of singing about love amid a crowd of glamorous women.
