Future ProjectionDREAMS COME TRUE

Future Prediction Map II – DREAMS COME TRUE (Full)

A classic love song.

It might be quite old, but both the lyrics and the melody are easy for middle schoolers to understand, and it makes your heart ache—in a way that feels just right for this age.

It’s a masterpiece I especially want middle schoolers, who are in that phase of wanting to act more grown-up, to listen to.

It’s a gentle love song about the patience and effort needed for two people to spend their everyday lives peacefully, while supporting each other.

By the time you’re in middle school, you probably listen to Mr.

Children quite a bit, don’t you? It’s easy to listen to, so I recommend it.

Head-over-heels in loveKis-my-ft2

Head-over-heels in love

Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, I think this one is quite a masterpiece—a love song.

It’s a somewhat bittersweet love song, and it’s interesting how even middle schoolers can get completely absorbed in it.

It’s one of those Kis-My-Ft2 tracks that makes you want to keep listening, and it’s popular with middle schoolers too.

Last Love Lettermoon drop

From an intro that bursts with the sweet tang of youth and sets your heart dancing, this is the quintessential popular number by moon drop.

Many listeners are sure to feel their chests tighten at the lyrics’ worldview, where the frustration of unrequited love and unspoken feelings intersect.

The track is included on their first full-length album, “Kono Tenohira ga Mada Kimi o Oboete Iru,” released in January 2022.

It was also used as a CM song for Honda Cars, broadcast across seven prefectures in the Chubu region, including Aichi and Mie, so plenty of people have likely heard its refreshing melody on TV.

This song sets indecisive feelings toward someone you love and a premonition of love’s end to an easygoing beat.

It’s perfect not only for students swaying with tender crushes, but also for anyone who wants to bask in bittersweet memories from the past.

Winter fallL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

Winter Fall *Larc en Ciel* (subtitulos castellano)

It’s a beautiful song, no matter what.

Just listening to it makes me feel as if snow might fall onto my palm at any moment.

Each line of the lyrics is delicate, yet somehow brimming with vitality and strength.

If you think of winter as nothing more than a cold season, please give this song a listen.

I’m sure it will change the way you see winter.

Depend on youHamasaki Ayumi

Ayumi Hamasaki / Depend on you (Short Ver.)

A hidden gem by Ayumi Hamasaki! You can feel the freshness of her early debut days, yet her diva presence still shines through in this song.

By the way, it’s not widely known that this track was used as a video game’s theme song.

The game even includes topics related to her.

If you’re interested, why not pick it up?

fragileEvery Little Thing

Every Little Thing / fragile

I think it’s common to pronounce the title as “Fragile.” It can have various meanings, but in this song the closest expression is probably “weakness.” Because of our weakness, we end up hurting each other.

Yet it’s precisely because we’re weak that we can help one another.

It’s a wonderful song with that kind of message.
