[Official] Noriyuki Makihara “I Won’t Fall in Love Again” (Music Video) [5th Single] (1992) Noriyuki Makihara / Mou Koi Nante Shinai
I won't fall in love anymore.Makihara Noriyuki

It’s a song that portrays a man who was heartbroken without even knowing the reason, unable to forget his girlfriend and suffering because of it.

Even though deep down he’s so sad he feels like he never wants to fall in love again, his show of bravado is deeply moving.

It’s one of Noriyuki Makihara’s signature songs.
