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.

Hana o Utau / Shino feat. Hatsune Miku

As it was produced under the theme “songs you want to listen to in spring,” it indeed conveys a strong sense of spring in the air.

The nimble yet punchy bass tone and the equally sharp vocal lines leave a buoyant sonic impression that lingers in the ear.

Lyrically, it portrays the anguish of parting with someone cherished and feelings that never reached their destination.

This stands in contrast to the sound, which in turn seems to express an inner sense of instability.
