I WISHMAY'S

A wedding song overflowing with happiness from a bride’s perspective, about being happy together with you.

The husky vocals are stylish, making it a perfect pick for elegant venues like hotel weddings.

The music video also has a wedding theme, so be sure to check it out.

THANK YOU feat. JamMAY’S2rank/position

MAY’S’s “THANK♥YOU feat.

Jam” is a song that expresses feelings for a treasured female friend who’s always by your side through good times and bad.

Included on the 2009 album “Dreaming,” this collaborative track features Jam, the vocalist and rapper of the music unit faith.

It’s filled with heartfelt gratitude for a friend you can truly call a “best friend”—someone who always listens, sometimes gives tough advice, and is there no matter what.

It’s a song that promises an unchanging bond and says “thank you” for everything so far to a best friend you want to cherish forever, whatever may come.

KISS ~Falling in Love in Winter~MAY'S

This is a dramatic love song that delicately expresses budding feelings of romance in the cold winter air.

Its lyrics beautifully depict the bittersweet scenes of love, and MAY’S’s emotionally rich vocals resonate deeply.

The urgent desire to confess love before the magic of the snow melts, and the portrayal of a woman growing stronger through love, are especially striking.

Released in December 2008, the song was chosen as the official theme for “Winter Sports Festa SEASON8,” adding color to many people’s winter romance scenes.

It’s a recommended track for those who want to feel that heartwarming moment when, despite shivering in the winter chill, thoughts of the one you love bring warmth to your heart.

PaPaMAY'S

MAY’S is a two-person music unit formed while they were in vocational school.

As the title suggests, the song “PaPa” is a message to fathers.

Its lyrics look back fondly on childhood memories and express gratitude to dads today—feelings that many people can surely relate to.

It’s especially perfect as a song from a daughter to her father, so if you usually feel too shy to say thank you, this might be the perfect way to let him know.

sparklerMAY'S

This is a ballad by MAY’S that gently depicts cherished memories with a best friend and a deep bond like that of sisters.

The soft tones of acoustic guitar and synthesizer enhance a sense of fragility and warmth, like sparklers glowing in the summer night sky.

Released in August 2009 as MAY’S tenth single, it has created a strong sense of unity with fans at numerous live shows.

While carrying the uncertainty of whether they’ll meet again in the future, this work conveys a powerful vow of eternal friendship, making it a recommended song for those parting from a beloved older or younger sister, or for anyone who has made plans to reunite after a long time.

Looking for a heart-fluttering duet that sings of eternal love? I recommend “Forever 〜Kore ga Kiseki nara〜 with Yamazaru,” a collaboration by MAY’S and Yamazaru released in May 2018.

It’s all about gratitude for a miraculous encounter, a love deeper than any prayer to God, and a fated bond that pulls two people together across time—set to a wonderfully mellow, comforting melody line.

Perfect for couples in love or those getting ready for their wedding.

How about pledging your eternal love through this song?

To reach you…MAY’S7rank/position

To reach you...MAY'S

This song by the male-female duo MAY’S was used as the ending theme for the anime Kimi ni Todoke 2ND SEASON.

Speaking of Kimi ni Todoke, it’s a refreshing romance manga by Karuho Shiina that was also adapted into a live-action film.

Sharing the same title as the manga and anime, this track is a love-filled piece that matches the anime’s story.

It’s packed with the feeling of being utterly smitten—still unrequited and unsure of what will happen, but absolutely, overwhelmingly in love.

I especially want people who are currently head over heels for someone to give it a listen.
