[Love Story] (stage-MIX 2011–2018) | Namie Amuro | chd

Even after her retirement in 2018, Namie Amuro continues to be loved.

Her song “Love Story” is a highly popular number with a gentle melody and heartrending lyrics, released in 2011 as her 38th single.

As the title suggests, it’s a love song, but rather than dwelling on a sad romance or the pain of heartbreak, it evokes a couple who parted ways while still in love with each other.

Perhaps that kind of love is actually the hardest to forget.
