Kaneyori Masaru [To You Who Don’t Need a Love Song] Music Video

A romantic song by Kaneyori Masaru that stays true to love while rejecting typical love songs.

On the surface, it’s directed at someone who claims to dislike love songs, yet it’s filled with a hope that a song about love will still resonate with their heart.

Released in January 2024 and included on the album “Namiutsu Kokoro o Mochinagara” (With a Heart That Ripples), this track comes from the band gaining attention for the film 17 Is Unstoppable’s theme song, “GIRL AND.” It’s a bittersweet piece overflowing with tender longing—perfect for those who struggle to express their feelings directly.

Recommended not only for teenage and twenty-something women wrestling with love, but also for adults who find it hard to be honest, including men.

Young Skinny – Love Is Blind [Official Music Video]

This work carefully portrays the feelings of someone who has fallen in love.

It vividly depicts the journey from the sadness of heartbreak to gradually facing forward again.

Released digitally in January 2024, the song was also chosen as the opening theme for the TBS drama “Uri o Yaburu: Issen o Koeta, Sono Saki ni.” It is scheduled to be included on Young Skinny’s new album, “Because I’m Clumsy.” Getting so absorbed in love that you lose sight of everything around you is something anyone can relate to.

This is a song we hope those feeling down after a breakup will listen to.

Its mid-tempo rhythm makes you feel like you can look ahead and move forward together.

LetterOkuda Tamio

Letter LIVE / 2015.11.10 @ Bunkamura Orchard Hall

This is a song by Tamio Okuda that portrays the feeling of one’s heart being constricted by the emotions of love.

The heavy, leisurely progression of the sound is striking, and it powerfully conveys the suffering caused by love.

Even as the rising feelings of love make the narrator unstable, you can sense a determination to move forward—writing a letter to express their feelings, for example.

The way the song depicts carefully facing one’s own heart and the strength to take one step at a time makes it a track that can give you courage in love.
