Kepla’s song about the heartache of unrequited love overflows with a charm that stirs listeners’ emotions.
Its lyrics, which portray a secret crush on someone who’s a friend, are sure to resonate with many.
The sound—blending nostalgic Showa-era vibes with modern Reiwa elements—is equally striking.
Since its release in December 2024, the track has gained strong support, especially among young people.
It’s a recommended listen for anyone who’s experienced unrequited love or is struggling with love right now.
Why not take a bold first step out of the friend zone by listening to this song?
Tokimeki Part 1supittsu
At the beginning of love, a swirl of contradictory emotions arises.
For example, you may want to be liked and to get closer to the other person, yet at the same time you don’t want to be disliked, so you hesitate to approach.
Tokimeki Part 1 is a song that expresses these conflicting feelings.
It’s an original piece Spitz wrote as the theme song for the film Water Flows Toward the Sea.
The result is a mid-tempo ballad with the refreshingly pure atmosphere characteristic of the band.
Give it a listen while recalling the start of a romance.

A profound love story chronicling meetings and partings that cannot last forever.
Born from the desire to capture memories with a loved one in music, this heartrending ballad emerged after nine years in the making.
Crafted with heartfelt care by Atushi from Centimillimental, the song was chosen as the theme for the September 2024 release Given The Movie: To the Sea, drawing attention for its beautiful harmony with the film’s world.
It’s a song that gently stays by the side of anyone struggling with a relationship and carrying a bittersweet ache in their heart.

Some of you might be feeling antsy because you have a crush but can’t seem to get closer to the person you like.
If that’s you, I really recommend listening to “I Want to Be Your Lover.” This song frankly portrays the feelings of someone in love.
By gently repeating the title phrase in an ultra-high register, it expresses that ineffable, heart-fluttering emotion.
The jazz-tinged sound also adds a pop brightness, making it a great pick-me-up when you need a boost!

It’s a song with an impressively emotive vocal, blending tenderness and wistfulness.
Performed by Marcy, it was chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime “I Guess I’ll End Up Falling in Love” airing from January 2025.
The feelings of someone in love are portrayed with care, and listening to it puts you in a romantic mood.
You can’t help but relate to the pure emotions toward the other person.
The melodious arrangement with its soothing guitar tone is another highlight.
If you’re thinking about confessing your feelings, this song might just give you a push.
