I Like Your Face (20th Anniversary Live at Kobe World Memorial Hall 2013.8.25)

I think quite a few people have had the experience of thinking, “I can’t put it into words, but I just really like this person.” The third single, ‘Kimi no Kao ga Suki da,’ released in 1994, was featured in heavy rotation on radio stations at the time and became a hot topic.

Because the lyrics are so straightforward and unadorned—single-minded, even—you can’t help but trust that the singer really means it.

Maybe being this direct actually feels more human and appealing.
