Recommended love songs for junior high school students! Carefully selected J-POP classics and popular tracks

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.

This is a popular song by Gen Hoshino that became the ending theme of a hit drama, known for its charming, memorable choreography.

While the drama drew most of the attention, the song itself is extremely well-crafted.

Hoshino’s rich, mellow voice also has a certain warmth that makes it linger in your ears.
