I want to be your lover.Abe Mao

Mao Abe – I Want to Be Your Lover [Official Music Video]

Abe Mao’s “I Want to Be Your Girlfriend” conveys that feeling so strongly right from the title.

It’s incredibly straightforward, isn’t it? This song was released in 2009 as her second single.

When you’re in love, there are so many fun things, but you also start to worry about all the little details, right? The song is packed with those relatable feelings of being in love—the urge to ask this and that, the “If we were together, I’d want to do this!” kind of daydreams—and it’s a track I want people with a crush to listen to.

back number – Love (Short ver.)

Released in 2012 as the fourth single, it was selected as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Music-ru TV” in March 2012.

The lyrics, which express the feelings of a student thinking about someone they love, really hit home.

I think many people will find parts they can relate to.

Time goes byEvery Little Thing

Time goes by – Every Little Thing (Full)

It’s such a heartrending song that it brings me to tears.

The slender, beautiful voice is captivating, and I can’t hold back my tears before I even make it to the end.

Even though we end up arguing all the time when we’re together for a long stretch, this song makes me realize that as time passes and we don’t turn our backs on each other, everything can turn into good memories.

The Other Side of Meaiko

aiko - “The Me Beyond Me” music video

A song that expresses the frustration and sadness of heartbreak in a slightly roundabout way.

It has a wistful feel, like a breakup song for a grown woman.

Precisely because she’s an adult, there are many things she wants to ask, but she deliberately holds back and pretends not to notice—that’s what makes it so heartrending.

It’s also notable that the track is crafted as a bright number with light, sprightly piano.

This energetic track gives you the courage to take that first step.

Let’s seize this love!
