DarlingNEW!Suda Keina
A striking, direct call to the listener—an irresistibly catchy number that sticks in your head after just one listen.
In this song painted by Keina Suda, the theme centers on deep emotions lurking behind sweet words, like “dependency” and “obsession.” Released digitally in January 2023 and later included on the album Ghost Pop, the piece features pleasing repetitions and rhythms that loop in your mind like infatuation itself.
It’s a song for those who find mere cuteness unsatisfying—perfect for anyone completely and utterly hooked on the one they love.
somedaySaucy Dog
Their lyrics depict everyday scenes, and I think that often makes it easy to relate and vividly picture them as you listen.
I believe that’s an important element in making a song personally meaningful.
This track, full of those relatable moments—especially the chorus line that goes, “I wanted to see the same scenery”—has likely struck a chord with many.
Yet, in contrast to how romantically it’s written, the song tells of a fleeting heartbreak and a faint lingering attachment, and it’s sure to move you as it overlaps with your own experiences.
Just… I miss youEXILE
Released on December 26, 2005, EXILE’s classic love song “Tada…
Aitakute” features a wonderful melody line and the beautiful voices of ATSUSHI and TAKAHIRO.
The lyrics depict heartbreak, expressing the forlorn feelings of a man.
I LOVE YOUOzaki Yutaka
It’s a classic that has been covered by many artists and passed down through the years.
A long time has passed since Yutaka Ozaki’s passing, but it remains a timeless masterpiece—one we want to keep alive.
It’s the ultimate love song I’d love to hear a man sing.
AiNEW!Hata Motohiro
A timeless hit by Motohiro Hata for anyone who wants to convey pure love on White Day.
His gentle yet powerful voice, together with the delicate tones of the acoustic guitar, resonates straight to the heart.
The lyrics portray a universal, profound love that makes you feel happy just by being together, quietly accompanying the listener’s heart.
Released as a single in January 2010, this song is also included on the beloved masterpiece album “Documentary.” Filled with the tenderness and ache of thinking about someone in the everyday moments, it’s perfect not only for those about to confess their feelings, but also for nights when you want to renew your gratitude to your partner.
PerfumeEito
This song became a huge hit on various subscription service charts and on YouTube in 2020 after it went viral on TikTok.
It’s a quintessential Reiwa-era hit, and I’d like you to pay attention to its biggest draw: the highly relatable lyrics.
As the title “Perfume” suggests, the story is about running into an ex-girlfriend who’s wearing the same perfume she used back when you were together, which triggers memories of your relationship—and even rekindles lingering feelings.
I’m sure you can relate to how a scent can bring memories rushing back, and that’s exactly what makes this song pierce the heart all the more deeply.

Love songMarushii
This ballad gently soaks into the heart, honoring the simple act of saying “I love you” straight, carried by the warm tones of piano and strings.
Sung in Yukyo Yoshida’s tender voice, it weaves everyday happiness and honest, down-to-earth feelings that once felt too embarrassing to say.
For anyone who wishes they could go back and be truthful this time, it will likely resonate deeply.
Featured on the album “Candle,” released in November 2023, this song spent eight consecutive weeks at No.
1 on the newcomer chart.
It’s a comforting masterpiece for everyone who, while remembering the days with someone precious they only recognized after losing, hopes to tie the red string of fate once again.
