Kenshi Yonezu – Eine Kleine

Just because two people are in love doesn’t mean everything will go smoothly.

We get scared of changing feelings, and we overthink and get anxious.

For moments like that, there’s a perfectly fitting, sentimental love song: Kenshi Yonezu’s “Eine Kleine.” Even though thinking about the person you love should make you happy, it’s easy to fall into negative thoughts—everyone does sometimes.

It’s a slightly sad, heartrending love song about wishing for that person’s happiness while putting a lid on your own feelings.

Shota Shimizu’s “My Boo” gets an answer song!! Mirei Touyama’s “Dear My Boo”

Mirei Toyama’s fourth single, “Dear My Boo,” released in 2018.

This song is an answer track to Shota Shimizu’s “My Boo,” a love song from a woman’s perspective.

I think there are honest feelings you can’t say precisely because the love is mutual—things that are too embarrassing to put into words.

It’s a love song tightly packed with those emotions, where the bittersweet feelings of being in love with each other still come through vividly.

It’s a song filled with the hope that this love will last forever.

The sweet back-and-forth depicted in the lyrics is heartwarming to listen to.
