CHANMINA – i love you (Official Music Video)
i love youchanmina

Crafted by Chanmina, known by the nickname “Beyoncé of Nerima,” this song is imbued with a poignant desire to affirm one’s existence through the gaze of a loved one.

While carrying her own fragility and wavering, the lyrics resonate by honestly expressing feelings for someone dear.

The choice to start the title in lowercase reflects the artist’s wish to convey a reserved, understated emotion.

The layered, multi-tiered choruses leave a strong impression, carefully shaping the song’s emotional depth.

Released in October 2025, the track was written as the theme song for the double-lead drama “Fake Mommy,” starring Haru and Rina Kawaei.

Its exploration of reexamining love amid life’s changing phases aligns with the drama’s worldview.

It’s a perfect song for anyone who struggles to be straightforward in front of the person they like, yet still longs to convey their feelings.
