Pon De BeachNumakura Manami

[THE IDOLM@STER] Pon De Beach (M@STER VERSION) (Vocals: Hibiki Ganaha)
Pon De BeachNumakura Manami

It’s a love song that gets you grooving to a rhythmic melody while its lyrics give you a gentle push forward.

It’s a fun track that makes you want to clap along, yet it still exudes the sweet atmosphere of a proper love song.

The music creates the illusion that the two of them are right in front of you, drawing closer to each other in time with the sound of fireworks.

Naked RomanceTsuda Minami

“Deresute” Naked Romance (Game ver.) Miho Kohinata SSR
Naked RomanceTsuda Minami

It’s a love song that captures a girl who’s flustered by her very first romance, getting butterflies over every little move and word from the person she likes.

Her inexperience in love comes through directly, and that’s exactly why it’s so captivating to hear her gradually grow throughout the song.

It’s a track we’d love teenagers to listen to and feel the wonder of falling in love.

Love Hamburg♪Tanezaki Atsumi

[Deresute] Love's Hamburg♪ (Game ver.) Kyoko Igarashi SSR
Love Hamburg♪Tanezaki Atsumi

It’s a love song that shows how, when it’s for someone you love, every homemade dish becomes filled with affection.

Cooking for that special someone brings joy all on its own and makes you want to share the meal together.

Listening to the song gives you a warm feeling, as if a dish brimming with that love were right in front of you.

Secret Toilet WaterAihara Kotomi

“Deresute” Secret Taware (Game ver.) Shiki Ichinose SSR
Secret Toilet WaterAihara Kotomi

It’s a love song about a girl who chooses a dangerous path to make an otherwise impossible love come true.

She prepares a love potion and finally ends up with the person she likes, but the way she looks back on the time when she was in love in the original, rightful world is truly moving.

I recommend this track to anyone who wants a love song that isn’t innocent—a little on the dark side.

Walking cameraKaneko Yūki

[Deresute] Osanpo Camera (Game ver.) Aiko Takamori SSR
Walking cameraKaneko Yūki

Unlike an intense love song, this is a love song that simply lists the joy of having someone you like in your everyday life and the little happy moments you encounter while taking a walk.

Listening to it makes you want to leisurely take your loved one out for a stroll.

It’s especially a song I’d like teenagers—who still have plenty of time to hang out with the person they like—to listen to.

Full-throttle idolKugimiya Rie

[The Idolmaster] Full-Power Idol (M@STER VERSION) (Vocals: Iori Minase)
Full-throttle idolKugimiya Rie

It’s a love song where a shy idol bares her feelings.

The melody has a slightly retro vibe, but the lyrics portray a cute girl who still can’t make a move in love, even after becoming an idol.

The gap between being in a profession adored by everyone and being unable to express her feelings to the person she likes is heart‑fluttering.

Hotel MoonsideIida Tomoko

A chic, moody, and mature love song.

It’s not a childish romance, but a refined, adult love you can feel—just listening gives you chills.

The quiet descent into love is the very essence of the kind of adult romance kids envy, making it a track we’d especially love teenagers and other young listeners to hear.
