AitaiKato Miria

Miliyah Kato - “Aitai”

Miliyah Kato, known as a charismatic figure among high school girls, is also one of the most prominent artists known for singing love songs.

This track was created based on advice messages she received from 420,000 “MyMixi” friends on the social networking site Mixi, which was popular mainly among high school girls at the time.

Her gentle voice conveys a range of bittersweet emotions in love—like the loneliness of wanting to meet someone but being unable to.

Many people experience the same kind of heartache and loneliness, and realizing that a beloved artist is giving voice to those feelings can be comforting.

Though the song is sad, in a way, that very fact gives you courage.

Ai Otsuka / Planetarium (Short Ver.)

Ai Otsuka’s 10th single, “Planetarium,” released in 2005, is probably strongly associated by many with the smash-hit drama Boys Over Flowers, for which it served as an image song.

In the show, it played during especially heartrending scenes and elevated the emotion—one of those songs that really grabs you.

Following her signature hit “Sakuranbo,” it became another major success, and it’s a number that will surely squeeze the hearts of those in love.

Unlike upbeat love songs, this track perfectly embodies the feelings of an “unrequited love” and “emotions that don’t reach.”
