Love ForeverKatō Miriya × Shimizu Shōta

Miliyah Kato × Shota Shimizu “Love Forever”

We swore to love each other forever, yet now I’m all alone.

Even in this aching situation, I can’t let go of my gratitude and tender feelings for you.

This work, which sent shockwaves through the J-POP scene, is a masterpiece that portrays memories that keep shining even after a breakup, and a strong bond that can’t be cut.

Released as a single in May 2009 and also included on the album “Ring,” this song marked the beginning of the MiliShow era—a collaboration between Miliyah Kato and Shota Shimizu.

On lonely nights, I put on a brave face, but deep down I just want to cry.

Listening to it in moments like that can help you regain your honest feelings.

It’s a song for anyone who wishes they could start over.

The lyrics, which portray the fleeting nature of youth and the sorrow of parting while expressing a resolve to keep looking forward, are especially striking.

Released digitally in March 2010 and as a single in June of the same year, the song also drew attention for being performed in the film by lead actress Aoi Miyazaki.

It’s a perfect song for those who are reminiscing about the past yet ready to take a step into the future.

Give it a listen and you may find the time you share with someone precious feels even more irreplaceable.

A song released as a coupling track to Nogizaka46’s 2015 single “Taiyō Knock.” Performed by the Under Members, it beautifully captures, in a mature musical style unlike anything Nogizaka46 had done before, the bittersweet feeling of parting at the end of a day spent with someone special—when your love suddenly wells up uncontrollably.

I love you. ~100 Regrets~

A bittersweet heartbreak song about being unable to stop thinking about an ex.

It was originally produced for an album, but it generated buzz, was played live to great acclaim, and was then released as a single.

Sung from a male perspective, the song has won support not only from men but also from women, even reaching No.

1 on the ringtone charts.

It’s a bluesy track that captures a man’s earnest feelings—“the more I try to forget, the more my love grows,” and “I really want to start over.”

Love’s Melody and Rainy SkiesAAA

AAA / “Love Sound and Rainy Sky” Music Video

I want to tell my ex, just once more, “I still love you,” and get back together.

But I’m too scared to say it because I don’t know what they’ll say in return… This AAA hit vividly portrays the feelings of someone who longs to reconcile with a former lover.

After the breakup, you realize how precious they were, and how lonely it is to be alone.

That’s why you want to try again, but you can’t quite put your feelings into words, and the lyrics ache with the wish that the time you spend together could just go on like this forever.

Sung by AAA with both male and female vocals, that bittersweet emotion resonates powerfully with both men and women.

One Side’s FutureTEE

TEE – One Side of the Future (Produced by Shota Shimizu)

This is a track included on TEE’s 2019 album “Golden 8.” From the lyrics of this song, “One Future,” you can sense the feelings of a man who chose to prioritize his dreams and gave up a future with his lover, only to realize that time with that person mattered most of all.

There are surely people who, though they loved each other, chose to part ways for the sake of their respective dreams.

If you regret that choice and hope to get back together, please give this song a listen.

It will surely give you the push you need.
