Robinsonsupittsu

Spitz / Robinson

A famous love song by Spitz that begins with beautiful guitar harmonies.

Many people are drawn to its melody, where fragility and beauty intertwine.

It’s often included as a guitar practice piece.

If you’re thinking of starting an instrument, why not begin with this song?

I heard the sound of cherry blossoms blooming.＝LOVE

=LOVE (Equal Love) / 1st ALBUM track 'I Heard the Sound of Cherry Blossoms Blooming' MV [YouTube ver.]

This is a heartwarming =LOVE song that gently conveys the arrival of spring.

It portrays a faint, bittersweet first love by likening the flutter of a first crush to the invisible scene of “the sound of cherry blossoms blooming.” The reasons the protagonist prefers riding in the third car of the school commuter train, and the care she takes with her hairstyle, convey the feelings of a girl earnestly navigating her first love despite her confusion.

Included on the May 2021 album “Zenbu, Naisho.” (“Everything’s a Secret.”), the song also drew attention for its refreshingly springlike visual beauty in the music video.

It’s a perfect track for the spring season—one that makes your heart flutter when listened to at the start of a new school term.

It’s recommended not only for those in love, but also for anyone who wants to enjoy the spirit of spring.

Raven Loud speeeakerNIGHTMARE

Nightmare – Raven loud speeeaker

I personally love Nightmare too, but actually, I learned about them from a middle schooler who often comes to the shop.

I didn’t know there was such a cool band.

They sing about love through rock—an exhilarating rock love song.

It makes my heart flutter so much I can hardly stand it.

Give me a freakish kissGesu no Kiwami Otome.

Gesu no Kiwami Otome. – Give Me a Savage Kiss

A nihilistic number whose uniquely “Gesu”-like turns of phrase are irresistibly catchy.

Beyond the striking title, the real hallmark of this song lies in the human drama of its lyrics.

It sketches a somewhat lifelike relationship between a man and a woman, ending with a wry, grin-inducing twist.

It’s a sprightly track where Gesu’s signature flair really shines.

Pendulum LoveTakkī & Tsubasa

Tackey & Tsubasa Ishinomaki Live 2

It’s a slightly more mature, sophisticated live performance.

The songs are captivating enough to win over even middle schoolers, and the sweet voice is so heartrending that you end up listening every day.

Thinking I might not be able to see it live anymore makes me realize it’s a classic now.

I want to hear more.

Love StoryAmuro Namie

Love Story – Namie Amuro (Full)

This song is easy to understand, and I think it’s one of the more popular tracks among Amuro-chan’s songs.

It sings a straightforward love story that really wells up in your chest.

I think it’s a very good love song.

I want to feel this way about someone, too.

You&Me SongKishidan

Kishidan – You & Me Song

I didn’t realize Kishidan sang such a sentimental love ballad.

This song really gives you that impression.

Two people who must have been in love with each other in a distant hometown—it’s a heartbreaking love song about never being able to meet again.

It’s a song you want to listen to carefully.
