Kiroro - For a Long Time

This is a song by Kiroro, a female duo from Okinawa.

The unit was formed when members Chiharu Tamashiro and Ayano Kinjo met in high school, and they made their major debut in January 1998.

This work was written for a close friend’s wedding and conveys the bittersweet feelings of longing for a lover far away.

The depth of love that endures while waiting, the loneliness of being apart, and the joy of reunion are expressed through a gentle melody.

Despite having no tie-in promotions, it resonated with many people and became a million-selling hit.

It’s a recommended song for those living apart from their partner or anyone who wants to convey their feelings to someone special.

ONE LOVE ~I love you with a million kisses~MAY’S

[PV] MAY’S / Can’t Say “I Love You”

In this song, “I love you” is something she wants to say but can’t—yet she loves so deeply.

It’s an unrequited love song.

Released as MAY’S fifth single in 2009, the track sings of a woman who’s afraid to confess her feelings because she doesn’t want to ruin a great friendship.

More precisely, it captures the frustration of being unable to say “I love you”—even though those words are packed tightly in her heart.

That helpless feeling of one-sided love is so heartbreaking, isn’t it?
