It’s a major hit that expresses candid feelings for a loved one through a driving melody and powerful vocals.

“Chiisana Koi no Uta” is a signature song by the Okinawan band MONGOL800 and is often sung at karaoke.

The lyrics, which celebrate the joy and miracle of meeting someone, are simply wonderful! It’s a love song that fits many kinds of romance, but it might resonate especially when you realize you’ve fallen for someone close to you without even noticing.

Friendships can turn into love, too.

In any case, it’s sure to overlap with that sparkling, heart-pounding feeling of a one-sided crush! The song has been covered by various artists, and Amatsuki’s cover gives it a cute and romantic arrangement.

Koi no Uta MONGOL800

This is a cover of a GO!GO!7188 song performed by MONGOL800.

The instrument has been changed from guitar to sanshin, and it’s sung by a male vocalist, which makes the song feel very moving.

As the title suggests, it’s a song about love.

It gives the impression of a long-standing unrequited love—liking someone so much yet never saying it out loud, with no chance of the feelings being conveyed, fulfilled, or ending—but the sincerity of that devotion truly comes through.

In the sanshin version, the soothing tone is very comforting and helps you settle into a relaxed, unhurried pace.

For those feeling rushed in their current romance, this might be a song that helps you regain your own rhythm.
