HANABIikimonogakari

Ikimonogakari – Hanabi

It’s a classic love song layered with the wish to protect the one you love.

It’s easy for middle schoolers to understand, and it brings to mind a very beautiful summer night.

It’s incredibly bittersweet, yet it’s a love song that still seeks to express love.

I highly recommend it.

I LOVE YOUOzaki Yutaka

I LOVE YOU – Yutaka Ozaki (Full)

A solitary artist.

This song is a number often sung at weddings.

If he, who created music that endures forever, were still alive, what kind of songs would he be giving to the world today? Lately, I can’t help but feel sorrow over his passing at such a young age.

Because I love you to death _ 800 yen per hour [PV].mp4

It’s a nostalgic song that reminds me of Cocorico Miracle Type, and as the title suggests, I think it’s a perfect classic for a love song.

It’s a love-rock track that makes you want to play it for today’s junior high schoolers, too.

It was so nostalgic it brought me to tears.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, WinterHilcrhyme

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter / Hilcrhyme (Cover)

In a word, it’s a beautiful rap.

Beauty and wistfulness are closely connected, and the person who made this track clearly understands that.

Thanks to the crisp rhythm of the rap, it reaches our ears with a delightful lightness.

The lyrics about the seasons bring out the charm of each of the four seasons so well that I’m dazzled by how skillfully they’re written.

Music HourPorunogurafiti

PORNOGRAFFITTI 'Music Hour (Short Ver.)'

The lyrics are remarkably fresh—almost entirely like a radio DJ’s monologue throughout the whole song.

It’s framed as giving love advice, and the way it drops important truths so casually is really cool.

The tune is bright and full of breezy energy.

By the time you finish listening, you might even feel like writing a postcard to a radio show!

HELLOPIERROT

Hello – Pierrot PV

This is another band I was told about when I asked today’s middle schoolers for recommendations.

I still remember the shock I felt when they suddenly broke up.

Their final song, the last single, was a very heartbreaking track about parting ways with a lover and the lingering regrets that remained.

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?
