A bittersweet love melody resonating through a luscious night.

Released by Number_i in March 2024, this track is a gem of a love song included on the album GOAT.

Kisses exchanged in the stillness of the night, emotions as deep as probing the ocean floor, and an immersion so complete you forget the passage of time.

The lyrics vividly portray the wavering feelings of love, and the trio’s harmonies ring out beautifully.

A story spun under a pale moonlight that anyone can relate to.

Whether you’re troubled by love or about to fall in love, this is a song you should hear.

It’s perfect when you want to sink into a nighttime mood or need music that stays close to your heart.

This work will stir your emotions and leave you feeling warm.

Masaki Suda “Just a Kiss feat. Aimyon”

It’s a duet song that tightens your chest with its frustrating relationship, as if a single scene were lifted from a short film.

Written and composed by Aimyon and sung together with Masaki Suda, it portrays a man and woman who say that a kiss alone can keep them connected.

Even though they long for each other, the ache of hearts that don’t quite meet comes through vividly.

The track is included on Masaki Suda’s album “LOVE,” released in July 2019.

When your relationship feels a bit unsteady, or on nights when you want to sink into feelings that defy words, the harmony woven by their two voices will likely seep gently into your heart.

Aiko, known for delicately portraying the subtle emotions of love, released a new ballad in April 2024.

Chosen as the ending theme for the animated film Detective Conan: The Million-dollar Pentagram, this song is a classic aiko piece that beautifully captures the ache of unrequited love.

The lyrics express longing for someone precious you can’t meet and the delicate sense of distance between two people, resonating deeply with listeners.

It’s best enjoyed late at night through earphones.

A perfect song to keep you company when you’re troubled by love or thinking about someone important.

Aimyon – Heart [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

A poignant ballad that carefully portrays the complex emotions of love.

Released in 2021, this song was written by Aimyon as the theme for the TBS Tuesday drama “Only Just Married.” During production, she rewrote the lyrics from scratch for the first time, focusing on expressing feelings that are “not too cute, yet not too clumsy.” Inspired by the heart’s shape—round on top and pointed at the bottom—the song explores a relationship where affection and pain coexist.

It resonates deeply with those struggling with marriage or romance.
