This is a song from an album by Maki Otsuki (now Maki Otsuki), who sang the theme song for the smash-hit anime ONE PIECE.

It’s about falling deeply in love and then suffering a heartbreaking breakup.

For some reason, even after being dumped, she quietly opens the door to her ex’s home, hurting herself even more—but despite that, the song is poppy and upbeat.

It’s a heartbreak song about a man walking through the city under a clear vinyl umbrella, remembering the days he spent with the girlfriend who left him on a rainy Sunday.

The breakup words came from her, but he says the cause lies with himself—there were so many days they couldn’t meet, and he kept making her endure her loneliness.

It’s a bittersweet song.

A warm and cozy SundayIssun-bōshi

Warm and Cozy Sunday (Kaguya-hime) covered by Issun-boshi

This is a song by Kaguyahime from the early 1970s.

It’s a casual, conversational everyday song describing a first date—pure, simple, and heartwarming—but at the end it sings about a boy who, even past twenty, still lacks confidence.

That might have been fine for that era, but nowadays a boy like that might not get a second date.

This is an insert song from the creator unit HoneyWorks’ “I’ve Always Liked You: Confession Executive Committee.” It’s what you’d call an anime song, but what an adorable poem it is! It reminded me of a time like that.

The feelings you can only experience in your teens are precious, aren’t they?
