Love's Slave (Koi no Dorei) - Motohiro Hata

“Love’s Slave” — quite a heart-thumping title, isn’t it? This song is included on Motohiro Hata’s 2012 release, the End Roll EP.

It’s a love song that conveys the desire to become a slave to love, even the wish to be that way if it means the other person will keep loving you.

You can really feel just how deeply the singer loves the other person.

For those who feel the same way, it might be a tearjerker.

It’s a track that even makes you a little envious of a love so strong you wouldn’t mind being tied down.

Motohiro Hata × Masamune Kusano “ringo” Music Video

This much-talked-about work brings together two of Japan’s leading singer-songwriters: Motohiro Hata and Masamune Kusano of Spitz.

Using a sweet-and-tart fruit as its motif, the lyrics portray a love that’s a bit crooked and rock-infused—more than just “cute”—and are sure to strike deep in the hearts of adults who’ve tasted both the sour and the sweet.

Included on the album “HATA EXPO -The Collaboration Album-,” released in November 2024, it also drew attention for its music video featuring actress Anna Yamada.

The moments when their voices intertwine are intensely emotional and thoroughly compelling.

It’s a masterpiece I especially want those to hear who carry complicated feelings and want to believe, “This is my last love.” The wistfulness hidden within the pop sound will surely stay close to your heart.
