Snow, Moon, and FlowersNEW!yangusukinii
Have you ever had a fleeting scent suddenly awaken a long-sleeping feeling of love deep in your memory? Using an unforgettable lingering fragrance as the key, Young Skinny’s exquisite ballad vividly portrays unbreakable regrets and attachments.
By deliberately leaving out keyboards and building the arrangement around guitar and Kayu’s vocals, the stripped-back sound underscores the trembling of earnest emotions.
This track opens the EP “Bukiyō na Watashi Dakara,” released in March 2024.
In the music video, award-winning actress Suzuharu Kawashima stars, and its play-like structure drew considerable attention.
It’s a masterpiece that gently stays beside those spending sleepless nights, hearts clenched by memories of past love.
for a very, very long timeNEW!FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE
Here is a pure-love ballad that warms the winter chill and seeps deep into the heart.
The lyrics, which capture the growing feelings of love through everyday, fleeting moments and the frustration of being unable to say “I love you,” tighten the listener’s chest.
Released as a single in December 2025, this song was chosen as the theme for the film “Romantic Killer,” starring member Sota Nakajima.
The delicate timbres of piano and strings intertwine with twin vocals, unfolding dramatically toward the chorus—another point of allure.
If you’re stuck in a one-sided crush and can’t quite take that first step, listening to it might gently nudge you forward.
Why not savor it slowly while thinking of someone special?
This very dayNEW!Uru
A ballad with a quietly determined piano melody that gently accompanies the season of graduation and new departures.
Written as the theme song for the film “The Classroom: Requiem,” starring Takuya Kimura, the piece features lyrics and composition by Uru, with arrangement by Toomi You.
While inheriting the weighty atmosphere carried over from the drama series, its lyrics depict the hope that lies beyond harsh days and the strength gained precisely because we know defeat—sentiments that are sure to deeply move listeners.
It also serves as the important opening track of the album “tone,” and the music video produced to coincide with the film’s release drew significant attention.
A warm yet powerful masterpiece that gently encourages those stepping into a new environment or standing at a crossroads in life.
A Naked Heartaimyon
Aimyon’s hit number “Hadaka no Kokoro” (Naked Heart), released in 2020, is her first single that’s a ballad, reportedly written back in 2017.
Aimyon’s lyrics are known for striking metaphors—both deeply probing and gently tender—but “Naked Heart” is remarkably straightforward.
If you’re in love, you’ll find it especially relatable.
As we get older, there are more things we want to hide, yet the song’s words make you want to be seen just as you are.
Beyond the honest lyrics themselves, it’s Aimyon’s voice carrying those words that truly permeates the heart.
