Love is blind.yangusukinii

This song by Young Skinny depicts the emotional journey from the blind rush of falling in love to the changes of heart after a breakup.
It also drew attention for being chosen as the opening theme for the TBS drama “Uri wo Yaburu: Issen wo Koeta, Sono Saki ni wa.” Within its pop-rock sound, it skillfully conveys both the exhilaration of being lovestruck and the sense of loss that follows heartbreak.
Released digitally in January 2024, the track is also slated to be included on the album “Bukiyou na Watashi Dakara,” scheduled for release in March.
It’s a perfect song not only for those feeling the pain of a breakup, but also for anyone who wants to reflect on their memories of love.
MonopolyNogizaka 46

Nogizaka46, an idol group formed as AKB48’s official rivals, released their 34th single “Monopoly.” It’s a song about realizing that it’s impossible for the person you love to always be thinking only about you, and that you’ve been taking their kindness for granted.
With a calm tempo and a cool vibe, the lyrics center on the protagonist’s jealousy.
The title “Monopoly” means to possess exclusively, and the song ends with lyrics overflowing with that possessiveness.
It’s a track that conveys love through a straightforward and slightly playful heroine!
First Love Killernozomi

This song, sung by Noshime, poppily depicts the romantic feelings of young people.
The lyrics are sprinkled with subtle emotions hidden behind teasing attitudes and bold words, and you can’t stop feeling a flutter as you listen.
Her vocals match the tone of the track perfectly, too.
Released digitally on May 8, 2024, the song became a big topic on social media.
The restless heart right before falling in love, the frustration of harboring feelings that may not be returned—these are experiences everyone goes through at least once.
If you’re in your teens or twenties, you’ll probably find yourself relating to it.
Immerse yourself in it in full-on romance mode!
URLSakaguchi Ami

Singer-songwriter Anbo Sakaguchi, who aspired to be a musician in elementary school and even worked as a radio DJ in high school.
Her 6th single “URL,” chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime Horimiya -piece-, is delightful with its cute vocals and pop ensemble.
The lyrics tell the story of wanting to be able to go see the person you like right away, a feeling that resonates even more strongly thanks to the instantly imaginable phrase “URL,” especially for younger generations.
It’s an emotional number that brilliantly contrasts a timeless, universal longing for love with contemporary imagery.
A Woman’s LoveMatsumae Hiroko

A new song that brings fresh brilliance to the world of enka has arrived.
Sung by Hiroko Masumae, this work gently conveys a woman’s deep affection.
It’s a lively minor-key enka number that celebrates life with the man she loves as the greatest happiness.
Released in January 2024 to mark the 55th anniversary of her debut, the song features lyrics by Haku Ide and composition by Tetsuya Gen.
It symbolically expresses how a woman’s love and charm endure across time, presenting a strong, confident stance on romance.
Brimming with a joyful atmosphere, it’s perfect for anyone who wants to cherish time with someone special.
Wrapped in Masumae’s warm vocals, this is a track that promises a heart-enriching moment.
