JOYYU-KI

YUKI’s sixth single, released in 2005.

Unusually for YUKI, who is often associated with an acoustic pop image, this track uses DTM (desktop music/DAW production).

It’s a love song about a couple bound by a strong bond.

The second chorus is especially striking and showcases YUKI’s unique sensibility.

If you sing it to someone you’re a little interested in, the “JOY” magic might just create a nice vibe.

Always, the two of usieiri reo

This is the theme song of the drama “Even If You Loved Me, I Have a Secret,” starring Sota Fukushi.

It’s a gentle love song by Leo Ieiri, who’s also known for powerful tracks like “Sabrina” and “SHINE.” When a usually cool, no-nonsense woman sings such a tender song at karaoke, that gap might just capture your heart! In fact, the lyrics explore whether you can keep loving someone even after you learn about the other sides of them and the past you don’t yet know.

I hope this song helps you meet someone who will love every side of you.

This is a love song by Saucy Dog that delicately portrays, from the perspective of a man awkward in love, the anxiety, jealousy, and pure affection within a romantic relationship.

Released in March 2020 and included on the mini-album “Take Me” released that September, the song is also popular at karaoke.

Its gentle melody, which seems to embrace the anxieties and miscommunications of romance, and its straightforward lyrics leave a strong impression, making it a recommended track for anyone who wants to convey their feelings to someone special.
