HANA / Blue Jeans -Music Video-

A mid-tempo ballad that portrays a tender yet slightly bittersweet love, like a pair of well-worn jeans.

This track, released in July 2025 by HANA, who emerged from the audition show “No No Girls,” features lyrics written by producer Chanmina.

You can really feel the ache of nighttime anxiety—wondering “When will we meet again?”—and the loss of confidence that comes from comparing yourself to others.

Although their debut single “ROSE” topped the charts, this release also includes a collaboration with the casual brand DIESEL.

It’s the kind of song that will gently stay by your side on sleepless nights spent worrying about love or when you want to sort out your feelings.

There are moments during a meal with your partner when you suddenly feel, “We’re different, aren’t we?” This song captures a slice of everyday life like that, skillfully portraying the emotional distance between two people.

The frustration of not being able to say what you want to eat, and the small loneliness you feel when your partner always chooses the same thing—these feelings gently resonate over a catchy melody.

The singer is Rinko, a singer-songwriter who weaves real emotions into poetic lyrics.

Released as a single in November 2024, the track sparked major buzz, with an early video preview on social media racking up around 900,000 views.

It’s a song that stays close to your heart, as if speaking on your behalf when you’re struggling with miscommunication in a relationship.

I want to be loved.Oku Hanako

I want to be loved.

A song that tenderly embraces the earnest wish to be loved.

Created by singer-songwriter Okuhanako, it appears on the album “vol.best,” released in April 2005 during her indie days.

The piece gives voice, over a quiet piano melody, to a piercing question: can we keep living by clinging to the memories of being loved, even when we feel hollowed out by loneliness? Her voice—praised as one that can move you to tears on sound alone—seems to gently scoop up feelings that words can’t express.

The song distills the power of her music, which speaks straight to the heart—this is the artist who once sold 488 CDs in a single day at a street performance.

On nights when you long to be loved deeply by someone, listening alone in silence may kindle a warm light in your heart.

The lines depicting a love that overflows beyond logic bring back the moment you first fell for someone.

It’s a highly recommended song for anyone who wants to rekindle those sweet and bittersweet memories of youth.
