A heartwarming rock number by Organic Call that expresses the feelings of someone who can’t honestly convey their emotions to the one they love, through delicate melodies and poetic lyrics.

It portrays the struggle of knowing what to do but being unable to act, the courage to move forward while carrying feelings that could be buried in everyday life, and has resonated with many listeners.

Released digitally in October 2024, the song was crafted by band member Shinya Hirata, who infused it with the difficulty and preciousness of expressing one’s feelings.

It’s a perfect anthem for those who keep their love for someone important close to their heart, and for those who want to change and become more straightforward.

A refreshing melody that evokes the feeling of spring and lyrics that capture the innocence of first love make a lasting impression! This is a duet song by Are-kun and Yuika.

Created solely through exchanges on social media, the track was born from a fateful encounter where they met in person for the first time at the recording session.

It vividly portrays the frustrating emotions of two people who have feelings for each other but can’t quite express them honestly.

Released in April 2022, the song gained attention for its youthfully nostalgic music video, in which a high school boy and girl share their feelings as cherry blossoms flutter around them.

It’s recommended not only for those experiencing unrequited love, but also for anyone looking to start a new romance with the arrival of spring.
