aiko - Cover so as not to be noticed

A champion of women in love, aiko included this track on her 2006 album Kanojo.

Told from a woman’s perspective, it’s a heart-wrenching number about a love that won’t come true and the brave face she puts on.

The way the two avoid looking each other in the eye as they talk—hiding their inner turmoil “so it won’t be noticed”—is a moment that makes you go, “Ah, I know that feeling.” It’s quintessential aiko, packing an overwhelming amount of bittersweet emotion into one song.
