If your lover’s affection starts to feel like a subscription service… this song really shines with a uniquely modern perspective.

It’s by Neguse., a rock band from Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture, and it’s included on their single “Atashi no Dress,” released in March 2025.

In this track, fluttering feelings of love are playfully depicted through metaphors of actions like clicking and flicking.

Am I someone special to them, or just one of many? Vocalist Ryotachi sings those anxieties and pangs of jealousy over a light, upbeat melody.

The catchy hook sticks in your head and is perfect for lifting your mood on your commute to work or school.

A beer in one hand

It’s a feel-good number that makes you want to raise your glass the moment someone calls for a toast.

Just like the title suggests, it’s a song you’ll want to listen to with a drink in one hand—a down-to-earth love song about everyday little joys and the delicate distance between lovers.

There’s also a sweet, bittersweet backstory: the frontman, Ryotachi, actually made it at the request of his then-girlfriend.

Included on the mini-album “Space Shuttle de Kimi no Ie made,” released in October 2021, it has since become a staple beloved by many fans, sparking massive sing-alongs at live shows.

The unpretentious lyrics slip gently into the listener’s heart.

It’s a track that will surely make you think, “Today was a pretty good day,” and want to raise a smile and a toast with someone special.

Hunchback and habits

Neguse, a four-piece band from Nagoya whose motto is “Smile,” has garnered massive support especially among young people.

This early signature track of theirs is a love song that vividly captures the small, everyday happiness of daily life.

Sprinkled with down-to-earth keywords like “incurably bad posture” and “coin laundry,” its unadorned, true-to-life lyrics resonate deeply with listeners.

Since vocalist Ryotachi wrote it based on real experiences, the sense of reality is outstanding.

Included on their first mini-album “Happy Life,” released in April 2021, the song has remained a live staple and was re-recorded for their 2024 full album.

Give it a listen on the way home with your partner, or anytime you want to feel a warm glow in a quiet moment.

Bedhead: 'Orihime and BABY feat. Reira Shio' Official Music Video

This track was produced by Neguse., a rock band based in Nagoya, featuring singer-songwriter Reira Ushio as a guest.

Released in June 2025, it was chosen as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s show “What’s So Bad About Being Jaded?” for the July 2025 cour, and it’s still fresh in our minds how it went hugely viral on platforms like TikTok.

It’s also surprising to hear that, based on a demo created as a stripped-down vocal-and-guitar piece about two years earlier, they completed the song at a breakneck pace in just one month.

Set to a mellow, R&B-tinged sound, the lyrics portray the frustration of mutual love hindered by distance, drawing on the Tanabata motif.

The crystalline call-and-response between vocalist Ryotachi and Reira Ushio is superb.

It’s the perfect track for a night drive or when you want to stoke those romantic feelings!
