Misako Uno (AAA) / “Summer Mermaid” Music Video (short ver.)

This is a song released under the solo name of Misako Uno, a member of the co-ed performance group AAA.

It features a strikingly bright, pop sound that evokes a sparkling summer beach, with a hint of passion beneath the surface.

The lyrics match that sonic image, giving the impression of a love song set on a summer shore.

The words depict feelings of love growing stronger with the summer heat and a charming resolve to take a bold first step forward.

Beautiful personikimonogakari

Ikimono-gakari 'Uruwashiki Hito' Music Video

A guaranteed crowd-pleaser that kept powering Ikimonogakari’s early live shows.

For the record, it’s their fifth single, released in 2007.

The song kicks off right from the chorus together with that ta-ta-ta drum beat, and it has this quintessential Ikimonogakari pop vibe that feels incredibly youthful.

It brightly portrays a love you throw yourself into wholeheartedly, and the lyrics are notable for how they turn love into a metaphor for song—and song into a metaphor for love.

It’s a track you’ll want to play for someone you like, even if they’re not already a fan!

JUJU 'So That It Overflows with Kindness'

A song that many renowned artists have covered.

“Yasashisa de Afureru You ni” is one of JUJU’s signature tracks, released in 2009.

It’s a song I recommend to those who feel that the feelings for someone precious can start to feel taken for granted as the days spent together grow longer.

Its lyrics make you realize the importance of everyday life and the gratitude for having someone by your side, and may even move you to tears as that feeling sinks in.

It’s a love song overflowing with deep affection for someone you truly cherish.

Hold me tight.YUTORI-SEDAI

YUTORI GENERATION – Hold Me Tight (Insert Song from ABEMA “Koisu♥️ Weekend Homestay 2023 Summer”) [Official Music Video]

YUTORI-SEDAI’s “Suki,” which became a viral hit and a hot topic mainly on social media, is a song many people say they’ve heard everywhere.

Its sequel is this track, “Gyutto Shite,” which follows “Suki.” While “Suki” captures feelings that resonate whether it’s unrequited or mutual love, this song vividly portrays the emotions after you start dating.

It cutely depicts the way you can become suspicious because you love someone too much, and feel anxious even while you’re happy.

If you find it hard to tell your partner about your anxieties, why not let this song speak for you?

Final BoyfriendHanbureddāzu

Akira Mutsumuro (Humbreaders) “Final Boyfriend” LIVE at TOKYO CALLING 2018

Hambreaders are a three-member, four-piece band from Osaka that was formed to perform at their high school cultural festival.

The fact that they’ve kept the band going ever since makes me think the power of those school-days friendships is pretty amazing.

The song “Final Boyfriend,” taken literally, would mean “the last boyfriend.” Thinking of it that way, it almost feels like a line from a proposal.

The lyrics say, “I want us to be together forever and ever, until we die,” and even the slightly rough, clumsy words come across as a reflection of deep affection.

If you find it hard to express your feelings in words, this might be a great song to give someone.

I’ll be by your side.Uru

[Official] Uru 'I'll Be By Your Side'

Sung by singer-songwriter Uri, whose clear, translucent voice has won wide popularity, “Soba ni Iru yo” is a love song written and composed by Yuri.

As the theme song for ABEMA’s hit show We Got Married 4, it portrays the couple’s first meeting and how they fall in love right from the start, and even weaves in the familiar phrases you hear at weddings, giving it a strong sense of deep affection.

True to its title, it’s a romantic anthem that lets you feel both the difficulty and importance of “just being by someone’s side,” as well as the depth of love.

Drowning loveDomura Riu

Drowning Love – Riu Domura (Official Music Video)

A heart-stirring song by Riu Domura that candidly captures the anxiety and loneliness born from thinking of someone, carried by a melodious sound.

It delicately portrays the fear of parting and the instability of emotions that arise precisely because of deep love for the other person.

Even while being conscious of the inevitable farewell that will come someday, the pure feeling of being unable to stop thinking about them pierces the heart.

Released in December 2020, the track later appeared as a remixed version on the album “Yakei,” and has been cherished as one of Riu Domura’s signature songs.

It’s a song that stays close to your heart when you can’t be honest about your feelings of love, or when your feelings for someone precious become so overwhelming that it hurts.
