A life-sized love songAqua Timez

The powerful singing voice of Futoshi, the vocalist of Aqua Timez, resonates deep in my heart.
The lyrics are ones many Japanese men can relate to—manly words that express love through actions rather than words.
Even women who actually want it to be put into words will have their hearts stolen when they hear this.
LOVE DEEPER (Prod. m.c.A•T)Reiko

This is a track by REIKO that inscribes a new page in the history of Japanese R&B.
It drew attention for officially sampling “Ryusei no Saddle,” a classic from Toshinobu Kubota’s landmark 1986 album SHAKE IT PARADISE.
The fact that Kubota himself—the original composer—praised it as “several times funkier than the source” speaks to its exceptional quality.
When you want to savor love anew, listening to this song will surely fill you with a gentle, tender feeling.
encoreHey! Say! JUMP

Hey! Say! JUMP’s 35th single, sprinting from the Heisei era into Reiwa.
Released in May 2025, it was chosen as the theme song for the Kansai TV/Fuji TV drama “Parallel Couple: The Truth About the ‘Me and My Wife’ Who Died,” starring Kei Inoo and Rikka Ihara in dual lead roles.
It’s a true-to-life love song that distills pure feelings and the fragility of romance into its lyrics.
The catchy melody line and rhythmic groove are also irresistible.

dearestKOH+

This is a song about falling in love with someone you admire.
You want to do anything you can for them without expecting anything in return.
Even if the feelings aren’t mutual, you still want to stay connected to the person you love.
It sings about the ultimate form of love—wishing for their happiness even if it means sacrificing yourself.
Embraced by the wintry windKoizumi Kyoko

It’s a story that falls into love from the very first lines of the song, and I think it captures a maiden’s heart beautifully.
It tells of unrequited love that goes unnoticed by the other person, yet also teaches that lovers, too, will one day have their hearts wounded and come to understand what it means to love someone.
