Planet of Love 'You'Tomioka Ai

This is a song by Ai Tomioka that lightheartedly sings about the floating feeling of love, as if the world revolves around the person you like.

Released in February 2024, the piece portrays single‑minded affection through an original perspective that likens the other person to a “planet,” their irresistible allure to “gravity,” and their elusive presence to a “UFO.” When you fall in love, that airy, floating sensation—like your feet aren’t on the ground—can make you worry that you’re the only one who’s lost it.

But perhaps that very strange feeling is the special signal that love has begun.
