aiko / Cocoa (cover)

Speaking of aiko, she sings about the delicate feelings of women with striking realism and is like a goddess of love songs.

She has many male fans as well as female fans.

While many of her signature tracks are cute love songs or heartrending ballads, the song “Cocoa” feels like a snapshot of the “now” between a man and a woman who seem on the verge of crossing a line.

Surely both of them are aware of each other’s feelings, yet they’re rational enough that nothing has progressed up to this point.

You can sense the tension of that momentous act of “crossing the line,” the turmoil of a pained heart, and the push and pull of guilt.

Aizu – Aiko (senpai to kanojo ost)

This is a song by aiko included on the single “Plamai” released in 2015.

It was used as the theme song for the film “My Senpai and Me.” It portrays the feelings of a woman who is in love and knows the feelings are mutual, yet remains somehow unstable.

Looking at the lyrics, it seems the two are not in a boyfriend–girlfriend relationship.

It might be a relationship they can’t tell anyone about.

Her single-minded love, the desire to stay by his side no matter what kind of relationship it is… is deeply heartrending.
