Recommended songs by =LOVE. Exquisite, classic idol pop that makes your heart flutter (11–20)
Komorebi Mezzo-forteNEW!＝LOVE
=LOVE, the idol group produced by Rino Sashihara.
The coupling track “Komorebi Mezzoforte,” included on their 19th single “Attacked by a Love Song” and released in October 2025, also drew attention for featuring Risa Otoshima and Shoko Takiwaki as double centers.
Its lyrics portray budding feelings of love in everyday, modest moments—like a café terrace seat or latte art—gently supporting those who are shy and wholeheartedly devoted.
With a melody that evokes the soft light of autumn and arrangements that express emotions growing little by little, it’s a blissful, classic idol pop song that lingers in your ears.
It’s a track we highly recommend to anyone experiencing a pure love that makes your heart race just from meeting your crush’s gaze.
How to make a princessNEW!＝LOVE
This is a coupling track to the single “Gekiyaku Chudoku,” released in April 2026 by the idol group =LOVE, produced by Rino Sashihara.
It also drew attention for having Kiara Saito as the center.
The lyrics portray the word “princess” not as something someone makes you into, but as something you build yourself through daily effort, even through tears, gently encouraging those who work hard every day.
The down-to-earth emotions and sparkling pop sound blend beautifully, making it a charm-like number that quietly stays by your side when you lose confidence.
moratoriumNEW!＝LOVE
A refreshing yet heartrending love song that portrays the resolve to look forward while carrying the ache of a love that has ended.
Performed by the idol group =LOVE, this track is a coupling song included on their 20th single “Gekiyaku Chudoku,” released in April 2026.
With Sasa Morohashi as center, it delicately expresses lingering feelings for a love known to be unrequited and the suspended, in-between emotions that come with it.
It’s a song distinguished by its finely drawn emotional lines, offering solace when you’re trying to move on from a past relationship and take small steps forward.
Still pretty niche? My Number Card＝LOVE
This is their first commercial, and they’ve said that appearing in a commercial together as a group was their dream.
It’s a spot promoting the adoption of the My Number Card, with an impressive staging that recreates different life stages.
The song they perform in the video is the original track for this commercial, “Still Kinda Minor? My Number Card.” It introduces, with a rhythmic flair, the things you can do using the My Number Card, resulting in a charming, idol-style tune.
Your third button＝LOVE
When it’s graduation season, the sight of cherry blossoms brings back bittersweet memories, doesn’t it? At times like these, I find myself wanting to listen to songs by the idol group =LOVE, produced by Rino Sashihara.
They delicately portray that uniquely youthful, complex feeling of choosing to swallow the words “I like you” precisely because you want to remain friends.
Kiara Saito, who takes center position, delivers a fresh, expressive vocal that seems to gently embrace those unspoken feelings of love.
This track is included as a B-side to the single “Norotte Norotte,” released in March 2024.
It’s a warm song that quietly stays by the side of anyone facing graduation without the courage to confess, or those taking a new step forward while holding their precious memories close.
Search for Diamond Lily＝LOVE
Cherry blossoms, an old school building, a uniform button—packed with such scenes of spring, this =LOVE song is the group’s fifth single, released in April 2019.
With lyrics written by Rino Sashihara and a fresh melody crafted by multiple composers, it pairs a bright tempo with lyrics that gently ache with the passage of time.
It reached No.
2 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and earned a Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
The track was also featured in Mr.
Fusion’s programming school “Prosta Kids” commercial.
In its story-driven music video, the turmoil of parting with friends is portrayed with care.
It’s recommended not only for those approaching graduation, but also for anyone who struggles to put their gratitude for friends into words.
Listen as spring arrives, and you’ll feel moved to cherish the time you have with the people who matter most.

Too late caution＝LOVE
The title track of =LOVE’s 3rd single, depicting a forbidden romance set at an all-girls school.
Released in May 2018, it reached No.
3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
Producer Rino Sashihara penned the lyrics, weaving tense, gripping words to portray a girl’s turmoil as she wavers between society’s “rightness” and an uncontrollable love.
Why not give it a listen when you’re harboring feelings you can’t tell anyone about?
