Say you like me.aimyon

Say you like me.

This is a song from Aimyon’s second album, “Nikumarekko Yo ni Habaru,” released in 2015, that sings about a slightly endearing—almost frightening—maiden’s heart.

Aimyon’s second album seems to confront themes of “life” and “death,” so this track, which sits as a pure love song among them, feels a bit unusual.

The lyrics, in which a girl who was cheated on and dumped pours out her resentment, are something many women who’ve been betrayed might find all too relatable.

It’s also amusing how the title “Sukitte Itte yo” (“Say you love me”) starts to sound more like “Suki to Ieyo” (“Say you love me, now”).
