Kana Nishino 'Suki' MV (short ver.)

Kana Nishino’s “Suki” (“I Like You”) portrays a sincere, slightly bashful realization as someone once thought of as a friend becomes the person you love.

Released in 2014, the song was used as the Tuesday theme from October 2014 to March 2015.

It captures the moment you notice feelings that aren’t just friendship anymore—like wanting to look cuter without meaning to, or wanting to see the same scenery together.
