It’s a debut single released by Lantis in January 2025, sung by AiScReam, a limited-time unit consisting of three Love Live! characters: Ruby Kurosawa, Ayumu Uehara, and Shiki Wakana.
The lyrics are striking in how they use ice cream flavors as a metaphor while expressing the feeling that “you’re the most important of all.” The trio’s beautiful harmonies layered over a poppy, bouncy sound make your heart skip with joy as you listen.

Mirror, mirrorFujita Maiko
Maiko Fujita captivates listeners with her clear, translucent voice.
As the lead single from her album “Color,” she released “Mirror, Mirror.” The phrase in the title is familiar from fairy tales, where it’s used like an incantation to question a magic mirror.
In the song, scenes reminiscent of those fairy tales are interwoven with the sorrow of a woman after a heartbreak.
You’ll hear many lines that evoke different fairy tales, so keep an ear out for those as you listen.
Lost starsSuzuki Emiko
Singer Emiko Suzuki, whose father is a musical theater actor, has been performing live since childhood as a member of the family-formed gospel group Sugimoto☆Family.
Her digitally released single “Lost stars,” the second in her series of monthly releases, stands out with its airy track and clear, high-tone vocals.
Many listeners will likely relate to the lyrics that depict the heartbreak and scenes of a broken romance.
It’s an emotional number with a sentimental melody that stirs the heart.
This sky is the trigger#NAME?
=LOVE is a 10-member idol group produced by Rino Sashihara, a former member of AKB48 and HKT48.
Their song “Kono Sora ga Trigger” is an up-tempo love tune with Maika Sasaki as the center.
With lyrics penned by Sashihara, the piece beautifully weaves a girl’s feelings into poetic expressions that really tug at the heart.
Also, the use of a two-against-three rhythm—“ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta”—before and after the chorus adds a very nice accent!
StoryAI
The song “Story,” which was chosen as the ending theme for the Japanese version of Disney’s Big Hero 6.
Because you’re always by my side protecting me, I can become stronger.
And I will protect you, too.
Do you have someone by your side with whom you can share those feelings? Even if you do, the time you have together isn’t eternal, is it? How much gratitude and how many feelings can we convey within the limited time we have… In a sense, this may be an eternal dilemma that everyone experiences.
Placard of the HeartAKB48
I totally understand the pure feelings of a boy who thinks, “If only I could write my feelings on a placard and show them, confessing would be so easy…” AKB48 sings those cute, innocent emotions with a bright melody and dance.
It really gives you courage.
First snowAYANE
Singer-songwriter AYANE, known for songs that empathize with young people’s emotions, has been attracting attention.
Her 2022 release “First Snow” is a dramatic number that unfolds a story of snowfall growing heavier as two people, newly stirred by romantic feelings, grow closer.
Set to a rhythmical, hip-hop-based track, the melody warms the winter chill.
Her clear, translucent voice captures scenes overflowing with longing for someone special, making the song feel like the very beginning of love.
