Arigatou (Thank you)Sonar Pocket

Sonar Pocket “Arigatou” [MV Short]

For those who want to express their affection straightforwardly, even to the point of bashfulness, “Arigatou” is perfect.

It’s included on the three-member music unit Sonar Pocket’s 2009 album Sonapocketism 1: The Shape of Happiness, known for message songs directed at friends and lovers.

The classical melody enveloping the rap-style flow is striking, and their chorus work—filled with gentleness—is another highlight.

It’s a love song that makes you want to see the precious partner who has supported you through everything.

You / Doba-shishō: OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

Released in February 2025, this work is a gem of a love song whose gentle, familiar melody and straightforward, heartfelt lyrics resonate deeply.

Wrapped in warm tones, the chorus adds a sweeping string arrangement that heightens the sense of emotion.

The vocals overflow with pure affection for the other person, and the tender worldview that cherishes everyday, ordinary moments will speak not only to those in love, but to anyone nurturing warm feelings for someone important.

MISIA – Everything （Official HD Music Video）

An ultimate love song and one of MISIA’s signature tracks, it holds the record for the best-selling single by a female artist released in the 2000s.

The lyrics, which boldly declare “For me, you are everything—there’s nothing else,” feel like the very inevitability of love itself.

The drumbeat ticks like a second hand, the strings tease the melody, and the piano seems to watch over the vocals—everything forms pillars that support the emotion.

It’s a song I truly recommend, one you’ll want to give to someone dear.

In the music video, the children running down a snowy road during the final chorus evoke a sense of peace.

It was also the theme song for the 2018 drama “Gibo to Musume no Blues,” wasn’t it? The lyrics and music were written by GReeeeN, and it was born from a collaboration between MISIA and HIDE.

With lyrics that express eternal love—“No one else can take your place”—it’s a love song that speaks straight to the heart.

I especially recommend it as a song for a man to dedicate to a woman!

Before our feelings overlap…Hirai Ken

Ken Hirai “Before Our Feelings Overlap…” MUSIC VIDEO

Ken Hirai’s song “Omoi ga Kasanaru Sono Mae ni…” was created as the commercial song for Toyota’s Corolla Fielder and was also chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Tsumiki Kuzushi Shinsō: Ano Kazoku, Sono Ato no Higeki.” With Hirai’s gentle vocals and lyrics that evoke dreams, hope, and human connection, the track resonates deeply and moves listeners.

The song embodies Hirai’s wish for as many people as possible to layer new “feelings” through this music.

It’s a perfect tune for times when you’re worn out by daily routines or in need of emotional support.

Rake "One Million Times 'I Love You'"

An intro that begins with a refreshing acoustic guitar-based sound and honest, straightforward words of love.

There might not be any other song that conveys “I love you” to the other person so comfortably.

Even we Japanese, who often find it hard to say “I love you,” somehow feel like we can shout it out with this song.

It’s perfect for sending to someone special.

GReeeeN – Kiseki

It was chosen as the theme song for the drama ROOKIES and was also selected as the entrance march for the opening ceremony of the 81st National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament.

Many men often say they want to make women happy, but this song makes you feel that being with her also makes the man happy.

The phrase about how words of love and gratitude alone aren’t enough when standing by her side really hits home, doesn’t it?
