Suga Shikao / AFFAIR

This is a song by Suga Shikao that portrays the deep anguish of a forbidden love—two people drawn to each other despite knowing it’s not allowed.

Released in October 2000, it was used as the theme song for the drama “The Lover’s Code: Wanting to See You.” There’s an anecdote that the track was refined for over three years before completion.

The torment of guilt alongside feelings so deep there’s no turning back makes your chest tighten, doesn’t it? If you listen to it on a night when you’re troubled by a complicated love with no way out in sight, you may find yourself empathizing deeply with its helplessness.

Happy Birthday

In a corner of the city, you can picture someone crying out heartfelt congratulations to a loved one—an aching yet warm song.

While hinting at past regrets, it expresses gratitude to “that person” who was kind to the singer, delivering a message imbued with Suga Shikao’s characteristic, slightly clumsy yet profound love that truly resonates.

Originally written for Kyoko, Suga Shikao’s self-cover was included on his June 1998 album FAMILY.

It also enhances an emotional scene as an insert song in the anime Honey and Clover II.

Why not listen to it while thinking of someone dear who lives far away?

Suga Shikao “Re:you”

He left Office Augusta, didn’t sign with a record label, and released this track completely as a freelancer.

It has a stronger funk flavor, and the lyrics are reminiscent of his early days.

A comeback? No, no—that would be disrespectful.

The Shikao world has lost none of its luster; he’s still delivering cool, gentle messages even now!

Shikao Suga / My Heart Starts Pounding

This is their third single, which gradually made their name known after being put on heavy rotation on Kansai’s FM802.

I’m someone who, thanks to its funky vibe and its nonsensical yet somehow confrontational feel, couldn’t get it out of my head—and before I knew it, I’d become a fan.

Mashed Potatoes & Hash Browns

A love song with a potato theme? It may seem like a mismatched combination at first glance, but it’s a track that showcases Shikao Suga’s uniquely poetic sensibility.

Featured on his April 2019 album “I Don’t Want to Work; I Just Want to Live on Photosynthesis,” the song stands out for its lyrics that liken heartbreak and jealousy to mashed potatoes and hash browns.

It portrays the pain of love as something only the person themselves can feel, not easily understood by others.

It might be the kind of song you want to listen to on a night when you’re holding onto that bittersweet heartache everyone experiences at least once.
