Be My Baby on the LipsAKB48

[MV full] Be My Baby on the Lips / AKB48 [Official]

Released in 2015 as AKB48’s 42nd major single, this classic idol song features Minami Takahashi in the center position.

It’s an adorable track that conveys pure feelings of love for someone special and the heart‑fluttering excitement of an unexpected kiss.

Even kisses are left-handedSKE48

On sale 2012/9/19 10th single "Even a Kiss Is Left-Handed" MV (special edit ver.)

A big hit from SKE48’s so-called golden era of the 2nd and 3rd generations, when members like Jurina Matsui, Rena Matsui, and Yuria Kizaki were selected.

It’s also the first song where Nanako Suga and Kaori Matsumura made the starting lineup, making it a constant topic among fans.

Inspired by the idea of a “dominant face for kissing,” riffing off right- or left-handedness, Yasushi Akimoto skillfully penned lyrics that capture a girl’s wavering, delicate feelings of love.

Who else but Akimoto would think to ask which way you tilt your head when you kiss? It’s a straight-up idol pop, feel-good uptempo track that even non-fans can enjoy.

miwa 『Kiss you』 Music Video

Released in 2013 as miwa’s 12th single and her first double A-side, “Faraway/Kiss you.” The song was used as the opening theme for the Fuji TV anime Silver Spoon, and it charmingly depicts the sweet, slightly bittersweet moment of a first kiss during a drive.

My First Kissanshin papa

First Kiss / Anshin Papa [Celtic Cover] Full Ver.

Ever since it was used as the opening and ending theme for the TV anime Kiteretsu Daihyakka, this song has continued to enjoy unwavering support and can even be called a divine “kiss” anthem.

That distinctive voice created with a voice changer is truly memorable.

Many artists have covered it, including an all-star lineup like Takuya Kimura, Keisuke Kuwata, and Masayoshi Yamazaki.

Saying “kiss” out loud can feel a bit embarrassing, but yelling “chuu” at the top of your lungs somehow feels totally fine, doesn’t it? It’s a song I want to revisit and listen to again with a sense of nostalgia.

Cold KissICE BOX

ICE BOX – Cold Kiss (PV)

“Tsumetai Kiss,” sung by ICE BOX, a limited-time unit formed for Morinaga Confectionery’s ICE BOX.

The lyrics were written by Yasushi Akimoto, and renowned musicians such as Keizo Nakanishi and Hiromasa Ijichi participated as members.

The song was released in 1994, and when the unit was re-formed 25 years later, a Reiwa Year One version was distributed.

The lyrics depict the bewilderment at a kiss that feels unusually cold—“Huh? What? What’s wrong?” But perhaps that chill is simply because they’d just eaten ICE BOX.

KARA – French Kiss

French Kiss is an adorable Christmas song released by KARA in 2013.

Set to a sparkling, festive melody, it captures the fluttery excitement of an upcoming Christmas to be spent with a lover.

The feeling of love so big it can’t be contained—and the resolve to express it properly again at Christmas—is just so cute! It’s also a great pick for background music when spending Christmas with your significant other.

A.S.A.P.Little Kiss

A.S.A.P./Little Kiss(1997Live)

A song that evokes the beginning of a passionate romance, Little Kiss’s “A.S.A.P.” Little Kiss is a duo formed by Shizuka Kudo and Takaaki Ishibashi of Tunnels on the variety show “Tunnels no Nama de Daradara Ikasete!!”.

Their sole track, released in 1997, features lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto.

It portrays a heated, adult romance—one only two mature artists like Kudo and Ishibashi could sing—where, in the moment they meet and fall in love, they confirm their feelings with a kiss.
