Happinessback number
This song is truly heartbreaking.
From beginning to end, everything about it is poignant—almost unbearably so.
You know the person you love has feelings for someone else, so you don’t confess and tell yourself you’ll wish for their happiness, but you still love them so much it hurts.
You talk to them because you like them, yet everything they talk about is someone other than you.
The unrequited love portrayed in these lyrics is so heartrending it brings me to the verge of tears.
The gentle vocals and the piano’s timbre stir our hearts to the core.
Hey,SHISHAMO
A track included on the album “SHISHAMO 5,” this song was written specifically for the Calpis Water commercial “Big Confession Edition.” The lyrics of the song “Nee,” printed on the sold Calpis Water PET bottle packaging, became a hot topic.
It’s a refreshing, fast-paced number that portrays the feelings of a person in love who can’t bring themselves to say “I like you” to the one they like.

You truly want to confess your feelings and become mutual lovers, but the fear of it not going well makes you hesitate to take that first step…
Many people can probably relate to the dread of a future where love doesn’t come true, and to this situation where, despite that, you just can’t suppress your feelings.
