RADWIMPS – Aloof [Official Music Video]

A song that captures the frustration of an ambiguous relationship and the ache of unrequited feelings.

The delicate emotions that sway with the other person’s attitude and the uncertain distance where neither can read the other’s heart are carefully woven with the distinctive word choices of Yojiro Noda.

In August 2020, it was chosen as the theme song for the ABEMA show Who Is the Wolf?, once again resonating with many listeners.

Saucy Dog “Yui (Knot)” Music Video <4th Mini Album “Take Me” Released on 2020.9.2>

A song by Saucy Dog that vividly captures the restless, fidgety feelings from a male perspective and the slightly awkward atmosphere of a new relationship.

It was released in March 2020 and included on the mini-album “Take Me,” which came out in September of the same year.

The anxiety and jealousy born from being mutually in love—and therefore not wanting to lose the other person—tighten your chest, especially when mixed with the exhilaration of summer.

Yet the song also expresses deep affection for a partner who accepts that clumsiness, along with a warm resolve to build a future together, which makes your heart feel at ease as you listen.

If you play it on a summer evening spent together, you’ll surely be reminded of how precious you are to each other.

The lyrics delicately express the feelings of a secret, unspoken crush and the bittersweet pain of being unable to get closer the more you care.

With a heartwarming melody that gently embraces the frustration of being unable to confess and the anxiety that everyone experiences when they fall in love, this song offers solace and support.

It’s a track we especially recommend to those who are keeping their feelings for someone special tucked away in their hearts.
