An early B-side track by Yuzu, one of Japan’s representative folk duos.
It portrays, in a true-to-life way, the feelings of a teenage boy in love with a girl he likes.

It’s a pure unrequited-love number that makes you want to say, “How cute,” just by listening.

When it comes to classic youth anthems, I think this song is the one.

A song that portrays the faint stirrings of youthful love.

A bittersweet song by TENSONG that captures the fluttering feelings of love swaying in a fragile and unstable relationship.

Released in May 2023, this track is recommended for anyone moved by the frustration of love—unable to suppress your feelings, yet unable to be honest about them.
One million “I love you”sRake
This is a song I’d like people to listen to when they love someone so much that words of love alone aren’t enough.
Whether it’s unrequited or mutual, there are times when that special someone won’t leave your mind all day.
This track conveys that kind of single-hearted devotion.

scale (fish/reptile scale)Hata Motohiro
Just before summer, it has a refreshing tone that evokes the season of fresh green leaves.
Riding on the big winds that sway those verdant trees, it sings of a yearning so strong it could burst: “I want to fly to you right now.” While Motohiro Hata’s “Himawari no Yakusoku” is also very popular, I’d like to give this one a strong recommendation as well.
