Moka Kamishiraishi releases full version of her performance of HY’s “366 Days”; a must-see, deeply moving video that connects feelings for Minami Aso — Kirin Gogo no Kocha “I want to see you, I want to warm you. Another Story” edition

Speaking of “366 Days,” it’s HY’s signature song, but this is the cover version by Moka Kamishiraishi, who’s active as an actress.

By the way, her older sister, Mone Kamishiraishi, has also covered this song.

It’s amazing that the sisters covered the same track! Back to the point, Moka Kamishiraishi’s gentle voice really touches the heart.

The lyrics are heartbreakingly beautiful, and the melody is equally captivating.

HY Fortune

This is “Fortune,” sung by Izumi Nakasone of HY, who has released many songs with heartrending lyrics that resonate deeply.

Sometimes we’re convinced we’ve encountered a fated meeting, only for it to end up one-sided.

Even so…

this sorrowful ballad expresses those feelings in simple, honest words.

Every single phrase is so poignant it pierces the heart and brings you to tears.

When you’re a little tired of a love that consists only of thinking about the other person, let yourself be carried by this song.

While trying to soothe his sulking girlfriend, she still refuses to open up.

The song expresses the boyfriend’s feelings—he’s anxious and frustrated, but he loves her all the same.

Listen to it after a fight, and you’ll definitely feel like making up.

HY – “% ~m.e.r~” lyric video

Released as the fourth installment of a five-month consecutive release project conducted in December 2020, this work is included on the 14th album, HANAEMI.

Based on a true story from someone Nakasone knows, it’s a love song that portrays the heartrending story of being separated without ever confessing your feelings to the one you love.

The lyrics, which try to express the distance between the two and the certainty of their feelings through numbers and symbols, really strike a chord.

It’s a song I’d like people nursing unspoken feelings in a one-sided love to listen to.

Complex feelingHY56rank/position

HY – “Complex feeling” lyric video

Complex Feeling gently embraces the complicated emotion of inferiority that suddenly overwhelms us in unguarded moments.

Created by Nakasone based on her own experiences and letters from fans, this work features a voice that speaks directly to you and permeates the listener’s heart.

Made during a time when the pandemic gave us more opportunities to face ourselves, it carries a warmth that affirms our inner conflicts.

Give it a listen especially when you feel down from comparing yourself to others, or when you lack confidence and can’t take that first step.
