Love♡Scream!AiScReam

AiScReam “Love♡Scream!” Official Lyric Video

This song portrays the sweet confusion of falling in love and a straightforward devotion to the other person.

It’s a debut single released by Lantis in January 2025, sung by AiScReam, a limited-time unit consisting of three Love Live! characters: Ruby Kurosawa, Ayumu Uehara, and Shiki Wakana.

The lyrics are striking in how they use ice cream flavors as a metaphor while expressing the feeling that “you’re the most important of all.” The trio’s beautiful harmonies layered over a poppy, bouncy sound make your heart skip with joy as you listen.

I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. chū-tan

Sukicchu-no! feat. Chuutan (CV: Saori Hayami) / HoneyWorks

When it comes to character songs sung by Chu-tan, a character from HoneyWorks’ wildly popular creator unit project “Confession Executive Committee,” many people might think of “Kawaikute Gomen,” which exploded in popularity and became a meme.

But “Sukicchu no!” is also a beloved track by Chu-tan.

Like “Kawaikute Gomen,” it’s performed by voice actress Saori Hayami, and while it’s a cute pop song, its lyrics weave in the serious side of the social media era, offering a deeper exploration of Chu-tan’s character—something that leaves a strong impression.

The irresistibly catchy chorus is perfect for social media and guaranteed to hype up a karaoke session, and the melody line is very singable.

Still, be sure to sing it while empathizing with the protagonist’s feelings.

A sweet and bittersweet love song by Macaroni Empitsu that traces the journey of conveying feelings that are hard to put into words.

It beautifully captures the awkwardness of love and the dilemmas of emotion, carried by a gentle yet powerful melody.

This track gently stands by those troubled by love or frustrated by unspoken feelings, giving them a soft, encouraging push forward.

It expresses, in straightforward words, the importance of telling the person you care about that you like them.

I realized that what matters isn’t just whether the person you like feels the same, but that letting them know how you feel can be a new first step.

It’s a song that gives you a push to confess your feelings.
