Aimyon “Because I Fell in Love” Studio Recording Scene

A bittersweet breakup song by Aimyon, a singer-songwriter from Hyogo Prefecture.

The gentle sound of the acoustic guitar and her clear, transparent voice seem to slip right into our hearts.

The title, “Koi wo Shita Kara” (“Because I Fell in Love”), is truly relatable.

When you fall in love, you experience both joy and pain.

But that’s what love is, isn’t it?

Someday I’ll forget, and someday we’ll meet again.

This is a Saucy Dog track that dwells on the many different “somedays” that follow a broken heart.

It’s included on the mini-album Country Road.

Until the chorus, it calmly recalls memories from when they were together, but when the vocals swell in the chorus, vocalist-guitarist Shinya Ishihara’s voice brings an overwhelming pang of sorrow.

They wanted to stay together forever—those feelings spill over into the chorus, which uses so few words yet says so much.

And then, wishing for the day they’ll meet again, the song comes to a close.

It’s a very moving song that makes you think of someone precious who’s no longer here.

Even with a hint of regret, it conveys a steadfast heart that still can’t forget—a love, a cherished person—held with single-minded devotion.

Those emotions come through and bring me to tears.

We can’t change the past, but we’re free to think of the other person.

If you can’t forget them, it’s okay to keep on loving them, isn’t it?

Until the day I can no longer rememberback number

back number – Until the Day It Becomes Unrememberable (full)

When it comes to breakup songs, back number is absolutely indispensable.

I feel like the “breakup period” is exactly what the title of this song captures: “Until the Day I Can No Longer Remember.” As long as you can still remember, your mind keeps circling through different things—you laugh at the happy memories, and the painful ones and the regrets bring the sadness flooding back.

Little by little, with the passage of time, the wounds begin to heal.

But even if you forget everything, is that really for the best…? The muddled emotions that follow a breakup are expressed here just as they are.

[AKASAKI] Adokenaku / Innocently Crying (Lyric Video)

This song resonates with the heart through its tenderness that tries to embrace a pure soul holding back tears, and the bittersweet ache of feelings that aren’t returned.

AKASAKI’s delicate portrayal of emotion and straightforward expression of love are deeply moving.

Released as a single in January 2025, it became a hot topic after being selected as Kiss FM KOBE’s recommended Japanese track for the month.

The intertwining of the desire to protect someone and the loneliness of unfulfilled devotion evokes empathy as an emotion many have experienced.

It’s a song that gently stays by the side of anyone striving to move forward while carrying feelings for someone dear.

A pure, heart-stirring gem of a love song by Takaya Kawasaki that delicately portrays the sense of distance between two people and the ache that comes with it.

The more you learn about the other person, the more jealousy begins to grow—yet the love deepens even more.

These subtle, complex emotions are gently wrapped in his warm vocals and a simple arrangement centered on acoustic guitar.

Chosen as the theme song for the MBS drama “Fukushū Kareshi: Deki-ai Shachō no Kao ni wa Ura ga Aru” (Revenge Boyfriend: The Devoted CEO Has Another Side), this track tenderly accompanies anyone who, despite feeling doubt and anxiety about their relationship, can’t suppress the feelings they hold inside.

HY - “In Love” (Theme song for the film ‘366 Days’) Music Video

A poignant love song that portrays the pure feeling that even if you are not chosen by the other person, the love itself becomes a precious memory.

Written as the theme song for the film “366 Days,” releasing in January 2025, it is included on the album “TIME.” Positioned as an answer song to the 2008 classic “366 Days,” it gently expresses the resolve to look forward after heartbreak.

While continuing to think of the other person, it delicately depicts the subtle emotions of accepting those feelings as cherished memories.

Many listeners will surely relate to the emotions that waver between pure feelings and reality.
