As I love and as I please, you’re the only one I won’t hurt.B’z

This is a B’z song that, though selfish, sings about a pure desire to have your loved one all to yourself.

Perhaps that raw, human wavering of emotion is what captured so many hearts.
Released in March 1993 and used as the theme song for the drama “Journey to the West,” this track might affirm your intense feelings if you listen to it when you’re so consumed by love that you can’t see anything else.
