Dive into this dark worldview.
Secret talk＝LOVE
This is an adorably cute love song that portrays a secret relationship with someone you’ve always admired.
It’s performed by =LOVE, the idol group produced by former AKB48 member Rino Sashihara.
Released in August 2025, the track also drew attention for having Emiri Otani as the center.
Set against a summer festival outing in yukata, it uses a poppy melody to capture the thrill of two people slowly growing closer and sharing a secret.
It’s the perfect number for anyone who wants to savor the flutter of a budding romance or elevate their summer mood.
Make me a princess!＝LOVE
“I work hard every day, so treat me like a princess!” You can’t help but swoon at the feelings of a girl who wants to be pampered but can’t be honest about it.
Many of us have dreamed of fairy-tale situations—like galloping through Shibuya on a white horse or deliberately leaving a glass slipper on the stairs.
This princess-themed song, performed by the idol group =LOVE produced by Rino Sashihara, is included on their 10th single, “The 5th,” released in December 2021.
On days when you’re tired, why not listen to this track and give yourself some lavish self-care?
You Set The SceneLove
This is the third album released in 1967 by the American rock band Love.
In an era when psychedelia was at its peak, its deliberate return to folk rock and baroque pop meant that it initially received a rather modest reception—something some of you may already know.
Yet its sound—acoustic guitars entwined with dreamlike strings and horns—is truly one of a kind.
In contrast to its beautiful melodies, it explores introspective themes such as disillusionment with society and reflections on life and death, and that profound contrast captivates listeners.
With the passage of time, it has been reassessed, and today it stands as a masterpiece shining in music history, a monumental record that continues to influence countless artists.
Our Uniform Christmas＝LOVE
Doesn’t the idea of spending Christmas in a school uniform make many hearts flutter? Walking through town at dusk with someone you like—the exhilaration and the slightly bittersweet mood blend beautifully in this quintessential winter song.
Producer Rino Sashihara poured her strong desire to create “a Christmas song” into this track, which was released in December 2017 as =LOVE’s second single and became one of the group’s signature early hits.
It lets you relive a sparkling page of youth, bringing back those sweet and sour memories from your school days.
Give it a listen when you want to feel the excitement of a budding romance all over again.
The Sea and Lemon Tea＝LOVE
From =LOVE, produced by Rino Sashihara, here’s a song where summer scenery intersects with the ache of unrequited love.
Included as a coupling track on the single “Zettai Idol Yamenai de,” released in July 2024, this piece drew attention among fans for featuring Hana Oba as center for a full-group song for the first time.
The memories of a summer gone by and a faint love you can’t forget press upon the heart atop a somewhat wistful melody.
In the music video, the protagonist returns to their hometown and reunites with the senior they once had feelings for, portraying a fleeting summer that rekindles their heart; subtle touches also shine through, such as a poster for the “24th Fireworks Festival,” a nod to Oba’s birthday, decorating the set.
It’s the perfect number for a seaside drive or those moments when you suddenly find yourself feeling nostalgic.
Love letterLove
LOVE is a female vocal duo, and “Love Letter” was released as the B-side of their debut single.
You want to give your love letter, but you just can’t… This song beautifully captures that overflowing feeling and inner conflict.
