The Other Side of Meaiko10rank/position

aiko - “The Me Beyond Me” music video

Aiko is one of those artists who’s always there for every stage of love, gently staying by your side.

This song, which served as the ending theme for the drama “Suteki na Sen TAXI,” written by Bakarhythm and starring Yutaka Takenouchi, soothes the sadness of parting with a melody so bright you wouldn’t think it was a breakup song.

You kind of knew that goodbye was coming, but you pretended not to, struggled anyway, acted like you didn’t understand, and hoped for a dramatic twist in the end…

Aiko is always the one who gives voice to those tender, wavering feelings.

aiko - “Andromeda” music video

There are times when someone you thought you’d forgotten suddenly comes to mind one day, aren’t there? In those moments, even painful events are somehow idealized, and when you look back, everything feels like a fond memory.

It can feel sad to have forgotten an old lover so much that you wouldn’t even notice them if you passed on the street, but it’s also proof that you’ve kept moving forward.

This is a song that gently nudges those who are struggling now and gives them the strength to turn their eyes toward a joyful, happy future.
