TV anime “Komi Can’t Communicate” non-credit opening [Cidergirl “Cinderella”] | Airing every Wednesday from 24:00 on TV Tokyo and more!

It’s a breezy, feel-good love song that feels like a cool wind blowing through.

The track is by the fizzy rock band Cidergirl and was released in 2021.

It was chosen as the opening theme for the anime “Komi Can’t Communicate.” With a crisp rock sound that incorporates a retro-tinged synth phrase, it has an airy charm.

Yurin’s soft vocals are truly soothing.

How about letting this song give you courage and confessing your feelings on Valentine’s Day?

DECO*27 – Heart à la Mode feat. Hatsune Miku

The intro, starting with guitar, handclaps, and harmonica, carries a gentle yet somehow wistful resonance.

This song, which seems to declare that love embraces both sweet and bitter feelings, never turns intense.

And yet, perhaps thanks to the clear, beautiful harmonies and the conversational singing style, it reaches straight to the heart.

It’s a track I want people to hear when they can’t take that first step on Valentine’s Day.

This song could be considered a quintessential heart-wrenching breakup ballad.

The delicate vocals seep into your heart.

It carefully portrays the complex emotions of a woman who realizes her lover’s betrayal yet still can’t forget them.

The lyrics convey a longing to cling to happy memories of the past.

Released in February 2023, the track’s lyrics are also compelling for their sense of urban loneliness, with scenes like looking down over the city from a rooftop.

It’s a song that offers comfort to those bearing the pain of heartbreak or who have experienced losing someone dear.

It’s especially recommended for listening alone at night.

I still have quite a bit of lingering attachment, but for some reason this song sounds cool.

The way it honestly portrays things that used to be normal no longer being so, and the helpless loneliness of being alone, really sinks straight into your heart.

I also recommend it as a karaoke song for men.

Toko Furuuchi’s one-of-a-kind voice resonates in your heart.

Instead of forcing yourself to let go of your feelings, why not, at times, just surrender to them?

A heart-stirring song delicately portraying the pain of parting and lingering feelings, crafted by Toya Takase and Ren.

It carefully expresses deep love for the other person and the inner conflict of being unable to accept the breakup.

Telling yourself “I’ll be okay tomorrow,” yet the lingering scent of perfume in the room brings back memories—capturing emotions that anyone who has experienced heartbreak can relate to.

Featured on the December 2023 album “Ai-Do,” the track blends J-pop with electronic elements, offering a memorable sound that gently encourages you to take a step forward even while carrying the pain of a broken heart.
