Knockout / Merokuru feat. Hatsune Miku

Merokuru’s “Knockout,” which depicts the push-and-pull of love with a catchy pop melody, is the perfect track for White Day, when the passion of Valentine’s Day still lingers.

This piece, which gained buzz as a Rookie entry in the 2023 Summer VOCALOID Collection, conveys the laid-back strategy of a contrarian protagonist aiming for small victories in romance.

Yet in the end, they can’t resist the other’s charm and get knocked out—adorably so.

Official HIGE DANDism – Pretender [Official Video]

The song I want you to listen to especially when a confession doesn’t work out or love isn’t going well is “Pretender.” It was released by Official HIGE DANDism in 2019 and was used as the theme song for the film The Confidence Man JP: Romance.

Not only does it have a melody everyone will want to hum, but its lyrics beautifully capture the emotions of heartbreak.

Even if things don’t work out with someone you once loved, the phrases that praise the other person can soothe the brokenhearted.

This song, which makes you feel that the chocolates and feelings you prepared for Valentine’s weren’t in vain, gives you the courage to look forward.
