Song of LoveKōda Kumi
Sexy and cool Kuu-chan, aka Kumi Koda, sings the straightforward love song “Ai no Uta.” If you could have just one wish granted, what would you wish for? This phrase, which also served as the song’s tagline, makes you seriously ponder the question as you listen.
The song’s protagonist wishes to stay with “you” forever, even if the relationship remains ambiguous.
They feel a strong desire to date or to pursue their crush, but if everything could crumble in an instant, they’d rather choose a path where they can stay together just as they are.
It’s a feeling most people have experienced at least once.
