I loveMarushii

Marcy – I Love (Official Music Video)

A heartwarming love song by Marcy that vividly portrays the joys and anxieties of romance.

Through every line, you can feel the desire to cherish the happiness found in everyday life.

Released in May 2024 as the theme song for ABEMA’s dating show “Love with Friend,” the track won strong support, especially among Gen Z.

By likening the ups and downs of love to a “roller coaster,” it deftly captures the feelings of young people.

Moments when you want to savor time with someone special, and the mingling of hope and uncertainty about the future, resonate alongside a fresh rock sound.

It’s a recommended song not only for those struggling with love, but also for anyone who wants to savor happiness slowly.

WhiteSHE’S

SHE’S – White【MV】

“White” expresses a wish for modest yet happiness-filled days.

It’s a song by the piano rock band SHE’S, included on their 2017 album Wandering.

It was also used as the ending theme for the Nippon TV show “Uchi no Gaya ga Sumimasen!”.

Sung from a male perspective, the understated yet moving lyrics make it a track we’d love couples who feel the same way about each other to hear.

Even if you argue or grow apart, you can surely overcome it.

It’s a love song that makes you believe that.

I want to see you.mosao.

I Want to See You / Mosawo. [Music Video]

A heartfelt love song that portrays the poignancy of a long-distance relationship.

Mosa O’s delicate vocals gently embrace the feelings for a lover they can’t meet.

Hearing their voice over the phone just isn’t enough—the frustration of not being able to touch.

Yet, even that anxiety is supported by the strength of love.

Released digitally in October 2020, this track resonated with many listeners.

The music video by illustrator Fujima Megumu is wonderful as well.

It’s a song we’d love for anyone separated from someone important to hear.

news forever

A medium-tempo ballad by NEWS that passionately sings of the sweet and bittersweet course of love.

Featured on the album “color,” this song portrays a couple pledging eternal love.

Amid a mixture of hope and uncertainty for the future they will walk together, the strength born from trusting each other leaves a strong impression.

Released in November 2008 as a track on the album “color,” it was also performed at the Tokyo Dome during “LIVE! LIVE! LIVE! NEWS DOME PARTY 2010.” Often chosen as background music for weddings and proposals or as a surprise song for anniversaries, it’s a piece that stays close to the heart when you want to deepen your bond with someone special.

I’ll be by your sideHirai Dai

Dai Hirai / I’ll be by your side (Lyric Video)

This song by Dai Hirai features the warm tones of an acoustic guitar and conveys a gentle atmosphere.

It’s a love song depicting two people vowing eternal love, and it also serves as a sequel in spirit to Hirai’s hit songs “Stand by me, Stand by you.” and “Anniversary.” It first portrays the feeling of awe, as if their meeting were a miracle, and in the chorus it expresses their joy as they celebrate their wedding and their hope for the future ahead.

My Past Life, Many Lifetimes AgoRADWIMPS

RADWIMPS – Zenzenzense (movie ver.) [Official Music Video]

Zenzenzense was created as the theme song for the animated film Your Name.

It’s the smash hit that catapulted RADWIMPS to fame.

The protagonist of this song, which conveys a single-minded and powerful resolve of “I’ll go anywhere to find you,” may have sensed something fateful in the other person—just like a couple who are in love.

That I was in loveJY

JY 4th Single “That I Was in Love”

Jiyoung, who is also flourishing as an actress, is making waves.

Her name is read as Jiyoung, and her artist name is JY.

Many of you probably already know that.

JY’s wonderful mutual-love happy song is “Koi wo Shiteita Koto” (“I Was in Love”).

The lyrics tell a bright, positive story: “We finally became a couple, but the heroine agonizes over an unexpected slump; still, when she remembers the early days of their relationship, the flutter of excitement returns.” Each word in the lyrics sparkles with the color of infatuation, thanks to Jiyoung’s voice.

In addition to this work, her collaborations with director Shunji Iwai are also must-sees!
