From an intro that bursts with the sweet tang of youth and sets your heart dancing, this is the quintessential popular number by moon drop.

Many listeners are sure to feel their chests tighten at the lyrics’ worldview, where the frustration of unrequited love and unspoken feelings intersect.

The track is included on their first full-length album, “Kono Tenohira ga Mada Kimi o Oboete Iru,” released in January 2022.

It was also used as a CM song for Honda Cars, broadcast across seven prefectures in the Chubu region, including Aichi and Mie, so plenty of people have likely heard its refreshing melody on TV.

This song sets indecisive feelings toward someone you love and a premonition of love’s end to an easygoing beat.

Ikidomari, the theme song for the film A Moon in the Flatlands, by Gen Hoshino.

It’s a quiet love song composed only of piano and vocals.

Hoshino has commented that it’s “not a song about myself, but a song that tells the story within the song in the first person,” which shows how faithfully it conveys the film’s worldview.

Please take your time and immerse yourself in its poignant afterglow.

It serves as the lead track from his album Prema, released in September 2025 after roughly three years, and it’s a universal love song sung entirely in English.

Kaze says he “pretended to know” the answer to the question, “What is the purest form of love?” True to those words, the piece invites each listener to reflect on their own shape of love, offering a profound and beautiful world that’s deeply compelling.

Its sound, reminiscent of ’80s pop, gently accompanies the feelings you have for someone important.

The Blue Sky I Wanted to See / “That’s a Fairy” Music Video [4K]

A winter coming-of-age song released as the 7th single in December 2025.

It tells the story of a boy who, captivated by a girl he glimpsed by chance on a station platform, boards a packed train every morning to look for her, only for the days to pass without a reunion.

It portrays a first love that keeps a fleeting encounter engraved in the heart.

It captures a delicate longing for someone elusive, almost like a fairy.

I hope you can relate to the fragility of winter romance.

A solo number by Lila Ikuta—who also shines as the vocalist of YOASOBI—that portrays the confusion and flutter of the moment love begins.

Released in April 2025 as the theme song for ABEMA’s romance reality show “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita: New Zealand Edition,” this marks her third contribution to the series.

The song delicately traces a heart that had grown timid about falling in love, finding courage through someone’s straightforward feelings and resolving to take a sure first step.

Its refreshing melody, like a gentle spring breeze nudging you forward, and Ikuta’s crystal-clear vocals are immensely soothing.

If you’re feeling a bit afraid to step into a new romance, why not entrust your heart to this kind, encouraging anthem?
