Someday Merry ChristmasB’z

B’z – Itsuka no Merry Christmas

I think Christmas songs are usually bright and cheerful, but this one feels somewhat sad and thought-provoking.

In particular, it forms a single story from meeting to parting, evoking a sense of nostalgia for the happy days of the past.

Toshinobu Kubota – Missing [Official Video]

This is an immortal masterpiece included on the first album “SHAKE IT PARADISE,” released in September 1986.

Although it was never released as a single, it’s widely known as one of Toshinobu Kubota’s signature songs.

It portrays a poignant relationship between a man and a woman who are drawn to each other yet can never be together, rendered through a one-of-a-kind, soulful voice.

The more one wishes to forget, the stronger the feelings grow—the searing emotion tightens the listener’s chest.

On a night when your heart is troubled by an unrequited love, why not listen quietly on your own?

DEVIL KISSKato Miria

Miliyah Kato 'DEVIL KISS'

An astonishing track by Miliyah Kato that portrays the ultimate form of twisted affection—loving so much that it turns to hate.

This song is the lead track from the album “WHO LOVES ME,” released in October 2021.

The lyrics vividly convey an intense mix of obsession and madness toward the beloved, expressing love so overwhelming it borders on deranged.

It’s a work to listen to when saccharine love songs aren’t enough and you want to touch the fierce passions lurking in the depths of the human heart.

KILL MY LOVEKato Miria

Miliyah Kato 'KILL MY LOVE'

A single released in August 2022, it’s an addictive dance tune.

What stands out is how the song portrays an independent protagonist who affirms herself by saying “I’m good as I am,” rather than relying on someone else.

The beat, infused with elements of hip-hop and R&B, grabs the listener’s heart.

It’s a track that showcases her expressive range.

When you’re struggling with love, this number gives you the courage to love yourself more.

Last LoveKato Miria

Miliyah Kato 'Last Love'

The work she created is a breakup song that perfectly fits the phrase “a heartbreakingly sad love ballad.” Through lyrics she wrote herself, it portrays with striking realism the aimless sense of loss and the lingering attachment that won’t fade after losing the one you love.

The grand, beautiful strings only seem to accentuate the loneliness at heart, and the clear, translucent vocals resonate as if asking a question—so achingly bittersweet.

Released in June 2010 as her 18th single, the track was later included on her acclaimed album HEAVEN, which became her first to top the charts.

When you’re carrying the pain of an unforgettable love, this song gently stays by your side in your helplessness.

Sayonara, baby.Kato Miria

Miliyah Kato 'Sayonara Baby'

This is a bittersweet love song about a heart swaying between true feelings and outward appearances.

She wants to believe his words, yet deep down she doubts them, and still can’t bring herself to end things… You can sense her wavering emotions in the chorus’s back-and-forth between the man and woman.

The track is a work by singer-songwriter Miliyah Kato, released in September 2008 as her 13th single.

Its arrangement is striking, unfolding from a wistful piano intro into a danceable four-on-the-floor sound.

The song is also included on the acclaimed album “Ring.” When you’re unsure of the other person’s feelings and don’t know what to do, listening to this might resonate with your complicated state of mind.
