Happy Ending: OvertimeMETAMUSE
A six-member female idol group, METAMUSE.
They began their activities in 2018 under the name ZOC, centered around singer-songwriter Seiko Oomori, and changed their name to METAMUSE in 2022.
Their song “Happy End Extra Innings” captivates with provocative lyrics that spit venom at the sweet worlds of romance and marriage.
It’s what you’d call a “yami-kawaii” type of track, with strange, addictive lyrics that blend escapist lines with ones that dream of a sugary life—listen just once and you’ll be hooked!
Man & WomanMy Little Lover
My Little Lover—commonly known as Mylova—is a hit song released in 1995.
With its unburdened production and airy vocals, everything comes together in this signature track for Mylova.
Its world, which brightly portrays the loneliness of a woman who has broken up with her boyfriend and is now on her own, resonated deeply with women and young people at the time.
When You Were MineNissy(Nishijima Takahiro)
Takahiro Nishijima, who is active as an actor and singer under the name “Nissy.” One of his works drawing attention as his first English-language song is “When You Were Mine.” It’s an R&B-style dance track that sings about longing for a cherished person who has been lost.
From the consistently showcased high-tone vocals to the key change toward the end, there are plenty of highlights.
And don’t miss the sharp dance performance in the music video, either.
HappinessOmoinotake
Omoinotake is a three-piece band whose vocalist, Reo Fujii, delivers an emotional voice that tugs at your heart.
Their song “Shiawase” (Happiness) lives up to its title, overflowing with euphoria, and it was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Horimiya -piece-.
Fujii’s vocals and the synthesizer tones are soothing to the ear, sweet-and-sour and youthful, stirring up a deeply emotional mood in this love song.
You can feel the full force of that straightforward yet aching “I love you.”
Fly awayPEDRO
In 2023, BiSH disbanded to much regret.
“Tonde Yuke” was released as the first single commemorating the restart of PEDRO, the solo project of Ayuni D, who was a member of BiSH.
The lyrics depict an ordinary, everyday life—somehow nostalgic—and the chorus makes your heart skip a beat.
It’s a love song, but it’s deeply emo and feels very relatable.
By the time it ends, you’ll be left with a warm, gentle feeling.
I love youRen
Many people probably feel embarrassed to say “I love you” to their partner face-to-face.
This love song conveys that feeling—playfully hiding the shyness—by saying it in Korean.
It’s a track by REN, a singer-songwriter from Tokushima known for hits like “Aitai” and “for you,” released in April 2023.
The grand yet gentle arrangement paired with his sweet vocals makes the sound slowly seep into your heart.
Definitely give it a listen together as a couple.
