Just the two of usRADWIMPS
Futarigoto is a song by the band RADWIMPS, who shot to fame after handling the theme song for the film Your Name.
Within its gentle, soothing tone, you can feel the band’s unique sense of speed and freshness.
It’s an easy-to-listen-to love song that isn’t overly sweet.
Pure Love SongShonan no Kaze

It’s a classic by Shonan no Kaze.
A Little Love SongMONGOL800 (kaba by Amatsuki)
Many artists have covered MONGOL800’s “A Little Love Song.” Amatsuki’s cover of “A Little Love Song” really showcases the strength of his vocals.
It’s a cover where the original band sound blends well with the synthesizer tones, and I hope many people will listen to “A Little Love Song” in the voice of Amatsuki, who is very popular among younger generations.
THRIFTEDAyumu Imazu
One song that has been drawing attention as a heartwarming love ballad is by Ayumu Imazu.
It uniquely portrays a well-worn, vintage-like love, with a soothing piano melody and resonant bassline that leave a strong impression.
The lyrics gently sing of kindness toward a loved one and a tender, enveloping feeling, imbued with deep affection that embraces the other person’s past.
Released in February 2025, it sparked buzz when well-known artists like &TEAM posted dance videos on social media.
Ayumu has also been confirmed to appear on a tour of America’s three major cities, with shows planned in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles.
This song is perfect for moments when you want to warmly wrap your feelings for someone or deepen your bond with someone special.
Love isn’t fashionableOkamura Yasuyuki with Koide Yusuke
This is a message song that sounds the alarm against the trend of treating romance like a fashion accessory.
Set to a groovy sound that blends funk and rock, it carefully portrays a shy, hesitant kind of love.
Crafted from Yasuyuki Okamura’s groovy sound and Yusuke Koide’s delicate lyrics, the single was released in April 2014 and was also used as the theme song for the variety show “Kubo Mine Hyada Kojirase Night.” It appears on the album “Kōfuku” (Happiness) and has been highly praised by music critics.
It’s a perfect track for those who are awkward in love or uncomfortable following the crowd, offering empathy and encouraging a sincere approach to romance.
SAY YESCHAGE and ASKA
It’s the famous song that served as the theme for the wildly popular drama “101st Proposal.” Just hearing it will probably bring the faces of the cast back to mind for many people.
When I remember it and listen to it from time to time, I end up getting absorbed again, thinking what a masterpiece it is.
Lion HeartSMAP
“Lion Heart” is a song by SMAP, a nationally beloved Japanese male idol group popular with people of all ages.
It is their 32nd single.
This love song is characterized by its gentle lyrics and melody, and it’s a track that leaves you with a soft, warm feeling.
