Because I love you. / “Yuika” [MV]

This work, which portrays mutual unspoken crushes, evokes the bittersweet romance of youthful days.

Created by singer-songwriter Yuika, who is active mainly on video-sharing platforms, it was released in June 2021.

The perspective switches between a boy and a girl in the first and second halves, depicting a realistic relationship in which both have feelings for each other but struggle to put them into words.

Listen while thinking of that person you can’t help but follow with your eyes.

It might just give you the courage to confess your feelings.

The Color of Happiness / Masanori Onda

A love song overflowing with tenderness—cherishing the one who brings color to ordinary days and embracing each other’s unadorned selves.

Its wistful yet warm vocals give voice to clumsy feelings that are hard to put into words.

Masanori Onda reworked an idea he’d been nurturing since he was 19, releasing it in January 2026 after about three and a half years.

It was written as the ending theme for the drama “Kimbap and Onigiri: Two in Love, Alike Yet Different.” A perfect track for lovers who acknowledge their differences in values and wish to treasure one another.

If you want to thank someone you love but feel too shy to say it, this is a number you should definitely hear.

As couples spend more time together, they naturally start to resemble each other, don’t they? This song is a down-to-earth love ballad that tenderly sings, over a warm melody, about two people who didn’t click at first but gradually come to share the same tastes and laugh at the same moments as they go about their daily lives.

Released as a single in January 2026, it was crafted by Masato Funatsu himself.

It’s a track we hope lovers will listen to as they imagine the future they’ll walk together and savor the happiness of spending carefree moments with someone dear.

Its adorably straightforward feelings will surely wrap themselves around the listener’s heart.

Promise of Romance

This song is perfect for anyone who wants to express their love as straightforwardly as it is adorably embarrassing.

Packed with feelings for a significant other, this love song, which honestly conveys the desire to stay together forever, was included on the album “Jukebox,” released in November 2019.

It was later rearranged in August 2021 and chosen as the theme song for the romance show “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita: Himawari Edition.” Its bittersweet melody set to a medium tempo resonates deeply.

Listen to it while thinking of your precious partner with whom you’ve shared both hardships and joys.

Motohiro Hata “An Always-Unfinished Love Song” Music Video

When you’ve been together a long time, putting your affection into words can feel a bit embarrassing.

Motohiro Hata’s new song gently embraces that feeling.

Because our feelings for someone deepen day by day, they can’t possibly be captured by a single word.

The song portrays the preciousness of such an “unfinished love.” As it also serves as the theme song for the film “A Love Letter in the 35th Year,” coming out in March 2025, listening to it might inspire you to once again express gratitude for the happiness that’s become part of everyday life.
