Anonymouz – Nocturnal

A song that portrays the bittersweet feelings of love that overflow in the sleepless hours of the night.

Chosen as the opening theme for the BL drama “Jack Frost,” which aired in the MBS Drama Shower slot, this track is included on Anonymouz’s first full-length album, “11:11,” released in February 2023.

Its house-tinged track features a comfortably steady four-on-the-floor beat, with a sound that carries a hint of city pop.

The lyrics, which delicately capture the frustration of nights when thinking about the one you love only keeps you more awake, resonate deeply.

It’s a number we especially recommend to anyone struggling with a love they can’t quite be honest about.

This is a pop number by Yuika, who has been gaining buzz thanks to dance videos on TikTok.

CHANMINA – i love you (Official Music Video)

Crafted by Chanmina, known by the nickname “Beyoncé of Nerima,” this song is imbued with a poignant desire to affirm one’s existence through the gaze of a loved one.

While carrying her own fragility and wavering, the lyrics resonate by honestly expressing feelings for someone dear.

The choice to start the title in lowercase reflects the artist’s wish to convey a reserved, understated emotion.

The layered, multi-tiered choruses leave a strong impression, carefully shaping the song’s emotional depth.

Released in October 2025, the track was written as the theme song for the double-lead drama “Fake Mommy,” starring Haru and Rina Kawaei.

Its exploration of reexamining love amid life’s changing phases aligns with the drama’s worldview.

It’s a perfect song for anyone who struggles to be straightforward in front of the person they like, yet still longs to convey their feelings.
