I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

[Kiss] Classic songs about kissing: Recommended popular tracks (21–30)

Give me an unbalanced kissTakahashi Hiro

Hiro Takahashi – Give Me an Unbalanced Kiss (Yu Yu Hakusho ending theme)

Give me an unbalanced kissTakahashi Hiro

“Unbalanced Kiss,” by singer-songwriter Hiro Takahashi, portrays a single-minded, heartrending love.

Released in 1993, the song was used as an ending theme for the anime Yu Yu Hakusho.

The lyrics describe an adult, bittersweet romance: wanting to support someone you love who carries hidden wounds, yet finding that feeling doesn’t quite reach them.

It’s a song I especially recommend to anyone experiencing a passionate love strong enough to make you want to shoulder all of that person’s pain and everything else about them.

A Kiss for Youhitomi

hitomi / Kiss to You

A Kiss for Youhitomi

Hitomi’s single “Kimi ni KISS,” released in 2000.

It’s a song where you can sense that lingering doubt—“Is this really okay?” Everyone becomes timid in love at times and loses confidence in themselves.

The protagonist of this song seems to be grappling with various feelings, but in the chorus, along with a soaring melody, a strong, resolute sentiment comes through: “If I’m going to be so worried that I can’t move…” The title phrase, “Kimi ni KISS,” feels like the answer reached after much hesitation.

It’s a recommended track when you want to take a positive step in love.
