It’s a gem of a mid-tempo rock number released by B’z in August 2009, written specifically as the theme for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Buzzer Beat: Gakeppuchi no Hero.” The lyrics, which feel instantly relatable, are sure to make a strong impact on anyone struggling with love or feeling uncertain about their relationship.

A back number song that portrays a heartrending love.

Ti AmoEXILE
One of the signature songs by the dance and vocal group EXILE, who have won a wide range of listeners with their emotional tracks and overwhelming performances.
Featured in a Meiji “Meltykiss” commercial, this song has poignant lyrics written from a woman’s perspective, centered on the theme of an affair.
Precisely because it’s a forbidden romance, the passion flares up—and when it’s sung in a man’s sweet voice, many women may find themselves drawn deeply into its world.
