The Second-to-Last Love SongKokoro no Suke
This song centers on a bittersweet, real-life-inspired re-confession.
Released in July 2015 as Shinnosuke’s first solo digital single, it conveys regret over a past romance and the longing to win back that love.
Vivid scenes—stars seen from a loft window, two people sleeping within an almost touchable distance—are interwoven throughout, resulting in a work where a melodious track and emotionally rich lyrics blend beautifully.
The song is also included on the first full album, HOPE, and is one you’ll want to hear if you’ve experienced heartbreak or want to reexamine your relationship with someone important.

It’s a love song that celebrates the power of love within a fantastical world.
Released in August 2019 as a collaboration between Sorane and kojikoji, it carries a positive message that believes in the power of music and love, set against the surreal backdrop of an Earth invaded by aliens.
The track is also included on the album “Fantasy club” and reached No.
25 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.
It’s recommended for those who want to escape reality or cherish time with their partner.
Grade Bchanmina
Rapper Chanmina captivates fans with her live performances that make full use of her background as a dancer and her effortless switching between Japanese, English, and Korean in her rap.
“B-Class,” included on her fourth album Naked, makes an impact with its hooky track and cool rap woven together with a sexy vocal.
The lyrics, cynical yet self-deprecating, offer a sense of realism that conjures up human relationships with a delicate sense of distance.
It’s a stylish yet somehow cute number with an addictive quality that makes you want to listen over and over.
Just the two of usKBM
KBM, a rapper from Fukuoka.
This is a recommended track for any super-in-love couple who wants to be together everywhere! The rhythm and rhymes will make you nod your head.
Although it was released in 2018, it’s curious how the lyrics seem to match the COVID era.
The wording feels very in tune with the times, making it a number you can enjoy both as background music and by listening closely.
The laid-back vibe is simply the best.
The music video is really cute too, so be sure to enjoy it along with the song.
Jailhouse feat. SKY-HISTAMP
It’s a collaborative track released in 2020 by Thailand’s national artist, Stamp Apiwat, and rapper SKY-HI.
It seems to be about trying to break free from something that’s holding you back, and it can be interpreted in various ways.
Reading the lyrics, you can also feel the desire to sever lingering feelings for a former lover.
SKY-HI’s sharp rap and the irresistibly catchy, addictive chorus melody are especially compelling.
In a word, it’s a love song where the keywords “bondage and liberation” come to mind.
Sweet Wine (feat. Youth of Roots)BIM
Sweet Wine is a love story set against the theme of summer coastlines and sandy beaches.
It’s a track released by rapper BIM, featuring the reggae band Youth of Roots.
Kon Ryu’s powerful yet beautiful vocals intertwine with BIM’s free-flowing rap.
