Sniper.Yuika

Sniper. / “Yuika” [MV]

This is a pop number by Yuika, who has been gaining buzz thanks to dance videos on TikTok.

The song comically portrays a one-sided-crush strategy, treating the person she likes as a “target” and aiming straight for their heart.

The play-by-play, live-broadcast-style lyrics are memorable, and listening to it really makes your heart flutter! Yuika wrote this track when she was a second-year high school student; it was released digitally in April 2024 and later included on the album “Longing for Navy.” With its up-tempo melody and the protagonist’s earnest feelings, it’s a song that sends emotions soaring.

If you’re in the middle of a crush, you might just find yourself unable to sit still when you listen!

Love WindIkuta Rira

Lila Ikuta “Koikaze” Official Music Video

This piece was written as the theme song for ABEMA’s romance reality show “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita: New Zealand Edition.” Created in April 2025 by Lila Ikuta, who is also active as the vocalist of the musical duo YOASOBI, it marks the third time she has provided a theme song for the series.

The song portrays someone hesitantly stepping forward—despite the confusion of falling in love and a timid heart shaped by past wounds—guided by sincere feelings.

Its fresh guitar sound, like the arrival of spring, gently embraces a wavering heart.

With Ikuta’s clear, translucent vocals that resonate deeply, it feels like the perfect number for the beginning of a new romance.

DEVIL KISSKato Miria

Miliyah Kato 'DEVIL KISS'

An astonishing track by Miliyah Kato that portrays the ultimate form of twisted affection—loving so much that it turns to hate.

This song is the lead track from the album “WHO LOVES ME,” released in October 2021.

The lyrics vividly convey an intense mix of obsession and madness toward the beloved, expressing love so overwhelming it borders on deranged.

It’s a work to listen to when saccharine love songs aren’t enough and you want to touch the fierce passions lurking in the depths of the human heart.

A Lovey-Dovey Love Song with My Husbandfenriisu (CV: kugimiya rie)

A Lovey-Dovey Love Song with My Husband

This song overflows with unstoppable feelings for someone you love.

Its endlessly sweet and straightforward declarations of love toward a “husband” are so candid that listeners can’t help but blush.

It’s a full-throttle love song—no wonder Kugimiya, who performed it, said she felt “so embarrassed it was like my head was boiling.” Released in April 2024, it colored the beginning of the story as the opening theme for the TV anime “Chillin’ in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers.” It’s perfect for when you want to soak in an irresistibly cute world and feel healed, or when you want to be filled with happiness!

nape (of the neck)aiko

aiko - “Eriashi” music video

A poignant winter ballad by aiko, beloved by fans as a hidden gem.

She sings earnestly of an unerasable love, recalling things like her ex-lover’s slightly grown-out nape-length hair and awkward smile.

Released as a single in November 2003, it was also performed at that year’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

Although it had no commercial tie-in, it served as the lead track from the album “Akatsuki no Love Letter,” and its moving finish makes sense in light of the anecdote that aiko herself was brought to tears during production.

On nights when you want to linger in the memory of an unforgettable love, this song may gently keep you company.

Neguse - Irodori (Official Music Video)

This work they’ve woven is a love song brimming with happiness, in which the ordinary days with a lover shine like an amusement park.

Released in April 2021 as a track on their mini-album “Happy na Kurashi” (“Happy Life”), its straightforward expression of affection resonated with many listeners.

Later, a work said to sing about the end of the happy days depicted in this song also appeared, likely attracting many fans with its sense of storytelling.

It’s a heartwarming song that makes you realize that the unremarkable everyday is the most precious treasure.

Seesaw Game: A Song of Brave LoveMr.Children

Mr.Children "Seesaw Game ~A Brave Love Song~" from TOUR 2017 Thanksgiving 25

Mr.

Children, the rock band that needs no introduction in Japan, is definitely an artist you want to listen to when you’re in love.

Among their songs, “Seesaw Game ~Brave Love Song~” is a refreshing track I’d recommend to both men and women as an anthem for love.

In particular, the lyrics that convey “no matter how many painful experiences you’ve had in love, you end up falling in love again” deliver an uplifting message that’s perfect when you’re heartbroken—absolutely wonderful! It also fits those times when you’re struggling with a tough crush, so be sure to listen to it in all kinds of situations.
