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.

[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.

A little begging, shall we?Takamori Natsumi

THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls: Starlight Stage SSR Miku Maekawa ‘Onedari Shall We~?’
A little begging, shall we?Takamori Natsumi

This is a love song about a girl who, like a cat, sets her sights on her partner and never lets go.

The charm lies in her catlike slyness, her slightly jealous side, and the way she playfully teases like a cat—all irresistibly cute.

At the same time, she’s genuinely flustered by her partner’s moves, which makes our hearts flutter right along with hers.
