Mikan HeartC&K

C&K – Mikan Heart

There’s nothing more painful than knowing your feelings won’t reach the person you love.

This is a song by the male music duo C&K, made up of CLIEVY and KEEN, released in October 2013 as their 10th single.

It’s a ballad marked by a poignant piano and deeply emotive vocals.

Centered on the theme of an “unfinished heart,” the lyrics portray longing and hurt for someone special, leaving a deep impression on listeners.

Many of us have probably had moments—on the way home from work or alone at night—when a sudden memory of someone brought us to tears.

CLIEVY’s high tone layered with KEEN’s warm voice amplifies the heartache.

The music video, featuring Haruma Miura and Naoko Watanabe, also drew attention for its dramatic depiction of the song’s worldview.

Included on the album “CK AND MORE…,” it remains a beloved classic.

It’s a must-listen for adult men who can’t cut off lingering feelings—when your head says you shouldn’t fall in love, but your heart can’t keep up.

back number – From the Hands We Held

Back number, whose poignant and realistic lyrics are popular regardless of gender, has a strong following.

Their song “Tsunaida Te kara” is their 10th single, released in 2014.

While it has a pop melody, the hints of the two people’s past and how they felt when they first met are bittersweet, and the brightness of the tune makes it all the more moving.

When you go through a breakup, everyone regrets something.

This is a breakup song that resonates with those real emotions—those regrets and the feelings that well up even though it’s too late to do anything about them.
