It’s a song about ultimate love that says, “I’ll love you unconditionally.” Did anyone think, “Huh?” That’s right—this is also one form of love.

But when you fall for someone and it turns into love, there isn’t really a reason, is there? Surely romance is something without reasons—something unconditional.

Don’t Know WhyNorah Jones

Norah Jones is an American jazz singer who accompanies herself on piano.

This song is also included on the album “Come Away With Me.” It sings of regretting choosing to break up with him, even though she made that decision herself.

Her whisper-like, translucent voice is wonderful.

Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For YouGeorge Benson

This is a song included on George Benson’s 1984 album “20/20.” It has since been covered by many artists and was used in TV commercials in Japan.

Even people who aren’t familiar with Western music will likely feel, upon hearing the chorus, “I’ve heard this before!”

Band Aid was a project group that brought together artists from the UK and Ireland.

Its purpose was to provide famine relief in Ethiopia.

The song carries a heartfelt message: “Children who don’t even have food—do they know it’s Christmas?” The music video, featuring major stars singing together, still looks glamorous even today.

When it comes to representative AOR artists in Japan, this person is one of the first that comes to mind.

At the time of their debut, there was even an anecdote that their record jacket was replaced with stylish bubble-era illustrations and photos because their unbelievably clear, beautiful voice didn’t match their actual looks.

They also visited Japan in 2017, treating us to the same beautiful vocals as ever.
