Fake loveSTUPID GUYS

An emotional track by the internet-born hip-hop unit STUPID GUYS that candidly depicts a relationship connected only by the body.

As Riu Domura and Takayan’s contrasting vocal timbres intersect, the song vividly expresses the ache of being called only when convenient, the dependent feelings of longing for the other person, and a psyche tangled with self-loathing and guilt.

The gap between the mellow track and the brutally honest lyrics creates an addictive pull.

Released in July 2019 as the title track of the digital album “Giai” (Fake Love), it reached 3 million streams after going viral on social media.

A live-action music video was also released in September 2020.

Recommended for those troubled by unrequited love or ambiguous relationships, and for fans of chill hip-hop × R&B sounds.

It’s only loveRude-α

Rude-α, who also drew attention for appearing on “Don’t Be Fooled by the Wolf-chan,” created a piece about the push-and-pull between men and women titled “It’s only love.” It portrays a man who feels he’s been deceived, yet still longs for the other person.

If you watched the TV show, you’ll probably relate even more by connecting it with the episodes that aired.

Another highlight is that the overall sound has a reggae-like vibe.

It’s perfect for when you want to soak in a chill atmosphere.

it’s okayLANA

This is a song whose melody resonates deeply, perfect for a summer evening.

LANA’s husky, soulful voice blends beautifully with the warm tones of the acoustic guitar, vividly portraying the bittersweet scenes of a summer slipping away.

While rooted in hip-hop, the track captures a sense of nostalgia and freshness, winning over many listeners as a new kind of pop.

It’s a gentle work that quietly stays close to universally felt emotions—fleeting summer encounters and farewells.

The song was released in August 2024 on LANA’s own label, LANA MUSIC, and was later included in her much-anticipated debut album “20” in November of the same year.

Her 2025 performance on THE FIRST TAKE once again proved the strength of her vocals and captivated countless viewers.

Give it a listen when you’re feeling a touch of end-of-summer melancholy or want to look back on precious memories.

I love you.PSG

This track candidly expresses down-to-earth feelings about love through three MCs.

Included on the 2009 album “David,” it samples Original Love’s “I WISH,” beautifully fusing a soulful melody with hip-hop beats.

PUNPEE, 5lack, and GAPPER each recount their own romantic experiences in a mic-relay format, and the lack of a single unified theme ironically makes the emotions feel more authentic.

In 2021, a new collaborative version with Original Love was released, featuring Takao Tajima’s vocals for a special finish.

It’s recommended for anyone who wants to convey honest feelings to a partner or is looking for hip-hop that sings about everyday love.
