Confession Songyuka

Kokuu (Official Audio)

Yuka’s “Koku-uta” is a youthful pop tune that conveys the feeling of being in love in a straight, honest way! It vividly portrays those frustrating, heartrending emotions of having your feelings overflow for someone you like, yet being unable to take the step to confess because you’re afraid of being rejected.

You love even their little gestures and quirks, but that’s exactly why you end up stuck as more than friends but not quite lovers, and it leaves you in a haze… It’s impossible not to relate to this classic love scenario! Still, no one wants to lose their crush because they couldn’t express their feelings, right? Why not listen to this song, find your courage, and confess how you feel?
