MAD HEAD LOVEYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu MV “MAD HEAD LOVE”

This is the second single by Kenshi Yonezu, the hottest artist right now.

It was released in 2013.

It’s a love song notable for its slightly complex expressions of love and, in contrast, the chorus’s straightforward declarations of affection.

I also recommend singing it at karaoke when you go with someone you have mutual feelings with!

Ikimono-gakari “Koisuru Otome” Music Video

This is a popular song by Ikimono-gakari that gently portrays the delicate feelings of a young woman in love.

Emotions like longing for someone, shyness, anxiety, and joy—subtleties of romance—are carefully expressed.

Released in October 2006, the song was used as the ending theme for the Nippon TV program “Ren’ai Bukatsu.” Yoshiki Mizuno, who wrote and composed the song, said it was “the first song I created with the idea that a girl would sing it,” and it became a turning point that broadened the band’s musical style.

It’s recommended not only for those experiencing unrequited love but also for anyone who wants to reaffirm their feelings for someone special.
