It’s recommended for those who want to cherish the small, everyday moments with their partner or have someone they wish to stay with forever.

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!

GibbsShiina Ringo

Released in 2000 as her 5th single, this song is known as a classic from the early days of her solo career.

Amazingly, she wrote both the lyrics and music when she was just 17.

In a few years, when you’re the same age and find yourself in a mutual, loving relationship, give this song a listen.

This is their 15th single, released in 2012.

The cute lyrics about going on a honeymoon to the nearby convenience store feel relatable and real.

If a mutually-in-love couple listens to it, they might find themselves looking back on their relationship and feeling their hearts swell.

It’s a perfect song for an anniversary.

Vegakiseru

This is a track from the 2002 album “Near Future.” The lyrics, expressed in straightforward words, convey the joy of truly connecting with someone and the happiness of walking forward together.

It’s also a quiet statement of resolve.

Be sure to listen to this song at the beginning of your mutual love.

This is the third single released in 2015.

The straightforward, earnest lyrics pierce my heart.

Wouldn’t it be amazing to hear something like this from a girl you love? I think it’s also perfect as a song from a girlfriend to her boyfriend! I recommend it to anyone who’s in love with being in love.
