This is pronounced Oxantalbi, and in Japanese the artist’s name means Rooftop Moonlight.

They’re an indie female duo, so some of you might be hearing about them for the first time.

Their slightly underground, laid-back sound can put you in a sentimental mood.

The title means “Hardcore, Life,” and the song says, “Life is full of hardships, but there are wonderful moments too,” which I think anyone can relate to.

A song released in 2019 by IU, who is loved not only in Korea but also in Japan.

It poppily portrays two people in love who want to move on to the next stage of their relationship, and just listening to it makes you feel giddy with excitement.

Describing it as a “secret paradise” is adorable, too.

I think it’s packed with IU’s unique charm! Especially recommended for anyone in love!

These days, you know… (About you lately)J Rabbit

A female duo that debuted in 2010, with Jeong Hye-seon on vocals and Jeong Da-eun on piano and guitar.

They create many songs about everyday feelings and universal themes, and in “These Days, You,” they sing about how, even when things are tough, we can worry, laugh, sing, and get through it together.

It’s also a great song to dedicate to a friend.

STANDING EGG is a pop band that has gained popularity in South Korea as an indie artist.

“안아 줄게” means “I’ll hold you” (or “I’ll give you a hug”), and it’s a warm song that stays by your side when times are tough.

STANDING EGG’s vocals are so gentle that they wrap around you even on the worst days.

Give it a listen when you want to calm your heart.

I'll be on your side.Koohii shonen (커피소년)

It’s a heartwarming song that, in Japanese, would mean “I’ll be on your side.” It was used as an insert song in the drama Producer.

The gentle vocals and relaxed, beautiful melody have a comforting embrace that surrounds you no matter what.

It made me want to be the kind of person who can say words like these.

If you listen to ‘내가 니편이 되어줄게,’ you’ll surely be okay—you’ll get through it.

The title of this song, which would be “Normal Love” in Japanese, could be considered a quintessential healing song.

It’s Block B’s Park Kyung’s first solo track, for which he wrote both the lyrics and music, and he collaborates with Park Boram.

The music video as well, but especially the sweet melody, is just so cute.

No matter how many times I listen, it’s soothing every time.

I Think of You (I Think of You)Paku Won (Pak Won)

I Think of You (I Think of You)Paku Won (Pak Won)

A signature song by Park Won.

It has a sense of nostalgia and even a familiar Western pop vibe.

It’s a heartwarming track that says, “I think of you in every moment of the day.” Above all, Park Won’s sweet voice over the acoustic guitar is irresistible! In Korea, it’s also well known as a proposal song.

Try listening to it slowly at the end of the day before bed, perhaps with a warm drink in hand.
