[Love Songs] Recommended love songs. Masterpieces that sing about feelings of love.
What kind of story is the “love song” you’re looking for?
Who are the characters, and what emotions are in motion?
Even when we say love song, it comes in many forms.
Just as some romances begin while others end, there are as many love stories as there are people in love.
Some people are thrilled to be united with the one they love; some are still struggling to catch up with the sorrow of a goodbye; and perhaps some are starting to think about marriage beyond dating, gazing at their partner while looking toward the future.
Because the beginnings and endings of love stories differ from person to person, the love songs we introduce here have been selected from a wide range of perspectives.
“I want to know your recommendations.” “I want to hear a love song that touches my heart.” “I’d like something happy.”
You’re sure to find the love song you’ve been wanting to hear.
These are all tracks that anyone can recognize as masterpieces, so please give them a listen.

Eine KleineYonezu Kenshi

It has a gentle, soft sound and expresses a very warm kind of love, yet it also portrays anxiety and inner conflict, reminding you that it’s not just a pretty song—very much in his style.
Looking at the lyrics, they depict deeply human aspects of love: the more happiness you have now, the more painful a parting would be; the difficulty of fully accepting the fact that you were the one chosen; and at the same time, the wish for this happiness to last forever.
I’m sure there are points you’ll relate to as well.
