[Kiss / KISS] Classic songs about kissing. Recommended popular tracks.

A Bouquet of Kisses in the RainImai Miki

Miki Imai - A Bouquet of Kisses in the Rain

This song was used as the opening theme for Nippon TV’s anime YAWARA!, but it was never released as a single.

It’s included on the album retour, so be sure to check it out along with the other tracks! The composer is KAN, and he perfectly captures singer Miki Imai’s vocal tone and style—it really feels like a masterpiece.

The song’s motif is a marriage proposal, but to me it also conveys a sense of “youth that never ends.” How did it sound to you?

Beast KISSMelody Chubak

Melody Chubak “Beast KISS”

Melody Chubak is a half-Canadian, half-Japanese singer-songwriter.

Many of you might know her from her days as a child actress on the TV show Tensai TV-kun.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Kemonokiss.

Musically, it’s crafted in a gothic-style R&B vein, similar to the recent trend set by Sam Smith’s Unholy.

Be sure to check it out.

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.

Fayray – Kiss

Fayray’s “Kuchizuke” portrays the aching, painful state of putting on a brave face after a heartbreaking breakup.

Released in 2004, the song was chosen as the theme for the drama “Ai no Solea.” The lyrics convey a palpable sense of someone who can’t forget their ex and acts tough, yet is deeply hurting and wounded inside.

It’s a song I’d recommend to anyone trying to get over a breakup by staying strong, while secretly wishing someone would understand what they’re going through.
