Shota Shimizu “My Boo” MV (Full Size)

“My Boo” is a heartwarming ballad by Shota Shimizu, an R&B singer-songwriter from Osaka.

The word “Boo” in the title is English slang for “someone special,” and the lyrics convey, with a touch of shyness, deep gratitude toward that special person and a straightforward desire to have them by your side—feelings that really stir the heart.

The song also uses Auto-Tune, a tool that alters pitch to give a distinctive, artificial nuance, creating a unique atmosphere and setting it apart from ordinary love songs in a wonderful way.

Love Thief. / “Yuika” [MV]

Its relaxed, sweet vocals and lyrics that candidly portray a girl falling in love are striking! This is a cute love song sung by singer-songwriter Yuika, who’s active on YouTube and TikTok.

Many people have probably experienced being captivated the moment their eyes met, unconsciously following their crush with their gaze, or feeling their heart race just from hearing their laughter.

Released in March 2022, this song gently encourages those who want to make their one-sided love come true with the twist that “it turns out the other person liked me too.”

Unfit to be a loverKoresawa38rank/position

Koresawa “Unqualified as a Lover” [Music Video]

A breakup ballad from a male perspective that portrays the anguish and regret of the one who said goodbye.

It’s a self-cover sung from the viewpoint of the man who leaves the room in Koresawa’s signature song “Tabako.” Released as a digital single in June 2019, it was later included on the concept mini-album “Heartbreak Scrap” in January 2020.

Originally written for Miyuhan, the track drew attention with its music video featuring Ryusei Yokohama.

The song movingly captures the conflict of a man who ends the relationship precisely because he loves her, blaming not her but his own shortcomings.

Listening to it alongside “Tabako” deepens your understanding of the couple’s emotional misalignment.

Highly recommended for anyone who’s experienced the end of a cherished relationship or carries guilt over having hurt someone they love.

MACO – LOVE

MACO is a singer-songwriter who feels like a spokesperson for women in love.

Her song with the straightforward title “LOVE” was released in 2015 as her debut single.

True to its title, “LOVE” is a track packed to the brim with the feeling of being in love.

When you’re in love, it’s not all joy and fun—anxieties also come and go—but those shifting emotions feel very real and relatable.

Sukima Switch – “Kanade” Music Video : SUKIMASWITCH / KANADE Music Video

Released in 2004, this second single is an indispensable classic ballad when talking about Sukima Switch.

It was featured as an insert song in the film “Rough” and as a TV drama theme, and in 2006 it was also chosen as the ending theme for the final day of “Nettou Koshien.” The lyrics, depicting a moment of parting, convey the protagonist’s aching attempt to send their feelings to the one who is leaving, along with a wish to remain connected in their hearts.

When you reach a turning point in life—graduation, a job change, and so on—listening to this song will bring back memories from that time, and the tears will naturally start to flow.

With its gentle tempo and piano tones that soak into the heart, it’s a profoundly moving track.

I LOVE…Ofisharu Higedan Dism41rank/position

Official HIGE DANDism – I LOVE… [Official Video]

This song was written as the theme for the TBS drama “Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo” (“Love Lasts Forever”).

Released in February 2020 as their fourth single, it centers on a universal love that transcends labels—be it for a partner, a friend, or family.

The way familiar scenery becomes vividly colored through the presence of someone precious, and the frustrating feeling of wanting to say “I love you” but struggling to express it, are conveyed through Satoshi Fujiwara’s expansive vocals.

Because the forms of love depicted here are not just one, listening while thinking of someone dear to you will likely warm your heart.

Give it a listen when you want to feel the everyday turn into something special.

DECO*27 – Monitoring feat. Hatsune Miku

An addictive Vocaloid song that lays bare the distortions of romantic relationships.

It’s a track by DECO*27, released in November 2024.

The catchy sound—marked by a striking horn section—contrasts sharply with the lyrics’ unsettling atmosphere, and that gap really gets under your skin.

You can’t help but ponder the relationship and narrative between the watcher and the watched.

Take a peek into the shadowy side of love!
