wacci “That Kind of Love” Music Video

Having poured every kind of love-related worry into their songs, wacci this time portrays the heart of a woman bewildered by her own feelings of love.

The lyrics, which describe the pain of being out of sync with her partner and the inner conflict of continuing a convenient relationship, have resonated with many listeners.

This song portrays the poignant feelings of a protagonist swayed by an ambiguous love.

Aimyon – On the Day of Goodbye [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

When you search for Aimyon’s songs, the phrase “chord progression” always appears at the top of the results.

It seems everyone admires Aimyon and plays the guitar! This song, which was also the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “news zero,” would switch me into a reflective mood whenever it came on—like, “A lot happened today, but here I am watching TV now,” and I’d quietly look back on the day.

It’s a song where Aimyon encourages you to keep moving forward even as you question yourself—whether what you want to do is truly your own desire, and whether you really love the person you’re drawn to.

Kyonpe / now-i-see 〈Music Video〉

There are moments when you can’t see your own heart—when you’re not sure whether it’s love or just obsession.

This song vividly captures those hazy, hard-to-name feelings—dissatisfaction with the other person, self-loathing—set against a dark, tension-filled sound.

Created by Kyonpe, a singer-songwriter who works as a company employee while pursuing music, it was released in April 2023 as the starting point of his solo career and resonated widely, even charting on viral rankings.

It gently stays close to the pain that arises at the end of a relationship and to hearts struggling to find an answer to what it means to love.

It’s a pop song you’ll want to listen to alone at night, when you want to fully immerse yourself in your emotions.
