Because I fell in loveaimyon
This is a track from Aimyon’s album “Momentary Sixth Sense.” The song conveys the bittersweet feelings of a woman whose boyfriend seems on the verge of leaving.
When you’re in love, the way you see the world can change—everything looks more beautiful, and little things make you happy.
But that happiness feels like it could slip away at any moment, and even though she knows it might be the end, she still clings to it.
Sung plaintively with acoustic guitar, this song makes my heart feel like it’s about to crumble (tears).
Blue Springakane (Otoniae)
A single released in 2021 by the two-member music unit Onriame, made up of Akane and Akari.
Just like the title suggests, it’s a love song about a “girl in love” right in the midst of her youth, and the shoujo-manga-like world it creates is irresistible.
The music video is also recommended—you can experience firsthand a love story that charges straight ahead, even as she’s bewildered by and pokes fun at her own feelings.
As you listen to this song, savor to the fullest that faint yet aching feeling of “I really like you,” and enjoy the sweetness of a one-sided crush!

The great thing about idol songs is how energizing they are.
