Song for…HY
A classic song about sweet, bittersweet love has arrived from HY, a mixed-genre band from Okinawa.
Featuring Izumi Nakasone’s strikingly pure vocals, this track beautifully portrays lost love and the memories that remain.
Based on real experiences from their youth, the lyrics express the heartache of a romance thwarted by an age gap.
The voice and melody seep into the listener’s heart, evoking the deep joys and pains of love.
Included on the 2004 album TRUNK, the song is cherished by many fans as one of HY’s signature works.
It’s sure to resonate with those in long-distance relationships or anyone struggling with unrequited love.
In loveHY
Even if you weren’t the one they chose, the fact that you loved doesn’t change… A bittersweet yet forward-looking sentiment runs through this touching HY ballad.
Written as the theme song for the film “366 Days,” released in January 2025, the track is positioned as an answer song to their 2008 classic “366 Days.” It beautifully portrays emotional growth—rising from the pain of heartbreak and embracing even that experience as a cherished memory—and is also included on the album “TIME.” Set across Okinawa and Tokyo, the film unfolds a pure love story spanning 20 years, and this song superbly captures its worldview.
For those who have reached the end of a romance, or who are about to take a new step forward, this is a song that will gently give you a push.
youHY
It sings about the aching feelings of love that everyone has experienced at least once—the anxiety that lingers even when you have a partner, the inability to honestly say “I love you,” and the wish to hear those words said to you.
Though their feelings are mutual, they sometimes miss each other emotionally; despite the uncertainty, it’s a straightforward love song that says, “I will keep on loving you.”
