PIANOTEHiran

Mirai Nikki soundtrack – Faylan – Pianote

Both the vocals and the melody are great, making it a pleasant song.

Sung in a high register, it has a bittersweet feeling, and I’d like to listen to it quietly when I’m alone.

The lyrics are also heartrending, making it perfect for a breakup song.

It’s a track that lets you sink into your emotions—especially one I find myself absorbed in at night.

Yuki Saito / Hello, Sadness ♪

AAA is a dance and vocal group that enjoys strong popularity, especially among young people.

Among their songs, ‘Koion to Amazora’ is probably familiar even to older listeners, as it has been used in Ito-Yokado commercials and on NHK’s Red and White Song Contest.

It’s a poignant ballad I’d recommend to people of all ages.
