Saucy Dog “Yui (Knot)” Music Video <4th Mini Album “Take Me” Released on 2020.9.2>

A song by Saucy Dog that vividly captures the restless, fidgety feelings from a male perspective and the slightly awkward atmosphere of a new relationship.

It was released in March 2020 and included on the mini-album “Take Me,” which came out in September of the same year.

The anxiety and jealousy born from being mutually in love—and therefore not wanting to lose the other person—tighten your chest, especially when mixed with the exhilaration of summer.

Yet the song also expresses deep affection for a partner who accepts that clumsiness, along with a warm resolve to build a future together, which makes your heart feel at ease as you listen.

If you play it on a summer evening spent together, you’ll surely be reminded of how precious you are to each other.

[Hatsune Miku (40mP)] Karakuri Pierrot [Original]

A song about a girl who keeps waiting for her lover even two hours past their meeting time.

Unable to accept that she’s been dumped, she sings that as long as she can stay with them, she doesn’t mind being like a puppet or a clown who’s just manipulated.

It’s famous as a heartbreak song, but I can’t help sensing a suspicious, obsessive vibe in the way the girl still clings to the other person.

This song by back number reminds us that spending a calm, ordinary day off with a loved one is the greatest treasure of all.

This heartwarming piece was released in May 2012 as their fifth single and became widely known as the theme song for the drama “Soup Curry.” Happiness is often hidden in everyday routines we take for granted.

It’s a mellow song with lyrics centered squarely on the theme of “love.” It makes you feel that the love found close to home, and the days spent living in that love, are a repeating source of true happiness.

back number – Happy End (full)

Produced in November 2016 as the theme song for the film “My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday,” this piece portrays the poignant feelings of a woman who has decided to part ways.

Though her love remains, she suffers because she must leave the person she cares for.

Inside, the pain makes her want to cry, yet she puts on a brave face and pretends to be fine with a smile.

These complex emotions are expressed with delicate nuance.

Written and composed by Iyori Shimizu and co-arranged with Takeshi Kobayashi, the song reached No.

3 on the Oricon weekly chart and was certified Double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.

It is a song that deeply resonates with those who, despite the pain of heartbreak, are trying to move forward, and with anyone who has experienced parting from someone dear.

Kenshi Yonezu – Metronome

A song that overlays the gradual misalignment of two people’s relationship with an instrument keeping a steady rhythm, conveying a poignant sense of missed connections that tugs at the heart.

Included on the 2015 album “Bremen,” this track powerfully conveys the helplessness of starting in the same tempo only to drift apart over time, as well as the lingering attachment that makes you keep searching for the other person even after you’ve parted.

The animated music video—hand-drawn by Kenshi Yonezu himself with about 200 illustrations—visually deepens the song’s world and leaves a strong impression.

For anyone with an unforgettable love or who has experienced growing apart from someone dear, this is a sorrowful yet beautiful ballad that resonates deeply.

Saucy Dog “Enchanted” Music Video

A love song by Saucy Dog that portrays two people connected through a screen to make up for the time they can’t meet.

Even with physical distance between them, the lyrics cherish trivial conversations and even the silences, overlapping with a heartfelt wish to draw distant hearts together once more.

Even if they aren’t side by side now, the straightforward desire for their hearts to stay close may gently encourage those who hope to reconcile.

Released digitally in March 2022, the song is also included on the album Sunny Bottle.

Believe in the red thread that ties you to someone special, and give it a listen on nights when you need the courage to reach out.
