Kaneyori Masaru “A Person Who Has Nothing to Do (with Me/Us)” MV

Even though they should no longer have anything to do with me, I just can’t get them out of my head.

Kaneyori Masaru’s “Kankei no Nai Hito” vividly portrays lingering attachment to a finished love, obsession, and even self-loathing.

Released in April 2022, the song was originally available only as a demo recording, but it gained attention on social media and was officially distributed.

Chitose Mina’s diary-like, unadorned words and her fragile yet powerful vocals express those untidy emotions just as they are, making your chest tighten.

I especially want people who got their hearts broken on Valentine’s Day and are suffering alone while trying to force themselves to forget to listen to it.

By sharing the pain, you might come to forgive your own weaknesses.

You wish to become someone special to the person you like, but you don’t have the confidence to take the first step… If you’re feeling the frustration of unrequited love, there’s a song I really want you to hear.

This track by Kaneyori Masaru, a three-piece girls’ rock band based in Osaka, portrays a painfully pure maiden’s heart that wants to believe in a future with someone, even if the dream may never come true.

It’s included on their mini-album “To Us Who Won’t Live in Yesterday,” released in January 2025, and it also drew attention as the theme song for the film “YoYogi Johnny’s Melancholy After School.” In the music video, the members don pastry-chef outfits and throw themselves into cake-making, making it the perfect companion for chocolate-making, too.

Its exhilarating rock sound is sure to give you a powerful push forward.

Kaneyori Masaru [To You Who Don’t Need a Love Song] Music Video

A bittersweet love song that skillfully portrays the psychology of wanting to deny one’s feelings.

Kaneyori Masaru’s vocals delicately express emotions toward someone who dislikes love songs.

Released digitally in January 2024 and also included on the February album “Namiutsu Kokoro o Mochinagara.” It looks poised to become a new signature song for the band, which also drew attention with “GIRL AND,” the theme for the Toei-distributed film “17-sai wa Tomaranai.” A track that gently encourages those who are timid about love or harbor feelings they can’t express honestly.

You’ll surely relate to the lyrics, which feel as if they’re speaking your heart for you.

A bittersweet song released in January 2023 that evokes the arrival of spring.

It’s included on Kaneyori Masaru’s major-label debut album, “Watashi no Nocturne.” The lyrics leave a strong impression, beginning with the image of riding a bicycle through a row of cherry trees and depicting the town being dyed pink.

The delicate expression of a pining love overlapping with a cherry-blossom-colored world is beautifully portrayed.

The track was also used as the theme song for Yamada Denki’s “New Life Campaign” commercial.

With a melody that seems to gently nestle close to your heart on the spring breeze, it’s perfect for the start of a new season or when you want to reflect on someone special.
