Because you can hardly ever meet in a long-distance relationship, the time you spend with the one you love feels all the more precious, doesn’t it? “Amanogawa” by the queen of love songs, aiko, is a track that makes you rediscover how special those moments with your partner are.

When you’re together, you don’t let a single moment slip by—you etch it into your heart; when you’re apart, you recall and reflect on the time you spent together again and again.

In this way, your time with that person becomes something precious and irreplaceable, whether you’re together or far apart.

Love sickness

This song sings of a searing pain that burns the chest as the flames of love blaze higher, as if being consumed by an illness.

It’s the opening number of Aiko’s 2000 album “Under the Cherry Tree.” The lyrics put into words raw emotions—feelings so intense you cry in silence, a body changing through a fateful encounter.

For anyone burdened by the agony of loving someone too much, a mix of dependence and longing, this track will surely strike a chord.

Masanori Shimada’s arrangement, with piano and guitar intertwining, makes the poignancy all the more vivid.
