Marcy – Period (Official Music Video)

A heartbreak ballad told from a woman’s perspective, poignantly depicting a love that’s coming to an end.

Marcy, a rock band known for carefully weaving the emotions that begin and end a romance, released this piece in February 2022.

While the song preserves affection for the other person, it tightens the chest with the pain of deciding to put an end to the relationship.

It’s also included on their major-label debut album “Memory,” released in June of the same year, where it plays an important role in conveying the sense of loss that accompanies a farewell.

Even when you know there’s no going back, it gently stays close to those who can’t help but hold on to the days they spent together and are hurting because of it.

A tender yet bittersweet love song whose delicate emotional shifts bring tears to your eyes.

Ken Hirai 'I Fall in Love with You' MUSIC VIDEO

This song portrays an earnest love in which two people care deeply for each other yet sense an impending farewell, fated by the limits of time.

Created by Ken Hirai and released in October 2009 as his 31st single, it was produced as the theme song for the film “I Give My First Love to You.” The lyrics convey devoted affection—wanting to take on the other person’s sorrow and pain—and a resolve to keep loving even when the future is uncertain, all delivered through a warm, embracing vocal that moves the heart.

This track is recommended for those who, despite being in love, had no choice but to part, or for those suffering under indelible feelings.

By touching a love so straightforward, the remaining pain may gradually soften into gentle memories.

A Song for You

A song whose charm lies in its warm message that views parting not merely as sorrow, but as gratitude for having met.

The sound of waves, the gentle tones of acoustic guitar, and the tender vocals beautifully capture the bittersweet feeling of blessing the other person’s future.

Sung by Dai Hirai, this ballad appears mid-album on Slow & Easy, released in May 2015.

When you find yourselves walking separate paths while still holding on to your feelings, you want to keep the memories you shared as something precious in your heart.

For those who carry an unforgettable love yet wish to take small steps forward, this is a song that quietly stays by your side and gives you a gentle push.
