Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

That flutter of love shines even sweeter when you realize the other person likes you too, doesn’t it? In music, there are countless masterpieces that beautifully capture that moment when two hearts sync.

This time, we’re introducing stylish, chic songs about mutual love, featuring memorable melody lines woven with tasteful music and skillful lyrics.

Even within mutual love, the situations vary, and the sometimes complex, sometimes pure love stories envisioned by each artist are sure to resonate with your heart!

It’s a stylish city-pop number that melts into the urban night.

Written and performed by singer-songwriter Yoshitaka Minami, it’s included on the classic 1978 album “South of the Border.” Ryuichi Sakamoto’s light, bossa nova–tinged arrangement is gently complemented by Minami’s sweet, soft vocals, creating an utterly dreamy finish.

Within its romantic, night-flight atmosphere, you can feel the happiness and excitement of spending time with someone you love.

A new version was produced in 1996, and it was also used as the ending theme for the TV program “THE WEEK.” Put it on during a drive with your partner or a quiet night at home, and it will surely make the mood between you even sweeter.
