Kaneyori Masaru [I Hope I Can Be Your Lover] Music Video

Kaneyori Masaru is a girls’ band that resonates with relatable, true-to-life lyrics capturing everyday moments.

This work of theirs is a love song that straightforwardly conveys the swelling feelings for someone you like and the frustrating inability to take that one last step.

Even when you know it might be a love that won’t come true, the aching wish to share a future with them tightens the hearts of anyone nursing a crush.

It’s included on the mini-album “To Us Who Won’t Live Yesterday,” released in January 2025, and was also chosen as the theme song for the film “Yoyogi Johnny’s Melancholy After School.” Riding on a driving band sound, Chitose Mina’s emotionally rich vocals ring out in this track.

Let this message gently give a push to a heart that’s grown timid about love.

Your third buttonNEW!＝LOVE

=LOVE (Equal Love) / 16th single B-side “Your Third Button” [MV full]

When it’s graduation season, the sight of cherry blossoms brings back bittersweet memories, doesn’t it? At times like these, I find myself wanting to listen to songs by the idol group =LOVE, produced by Rino Sashihara.

They delicately portray that uniquely youthful, complex feeling of choosing to swallow the words “I like you” precisely because you want to remain friends.

Kiara Saito, who takes center position, delivers a fresh, expressive vocal that seems to gently embrace those unspoken feelings of love.

This track is included as a B-side to the single “Norotte Norotte,” released in March 2024.

It’s a warm song that quietly stays by the side of anyone facing graduation without the courage to confess, or those taking a new step forward while holding their precious memories close.

Aimyon – Marshmallow [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

When it comes to White Day gifts, many people probably think of that white, fluffy confection.

Featured on Aimyon’s 3rd album, “Heard There’s Delicious Pasta,” this song is literally named after that very sweet.

With Toomi Yoh’s arrangement delivering a thick, full band sound, it sprinkles in words like sweet treats and chocolate while actually depicting a deeply sensual form of love—very much in Aimyon’s style.

It’s a number I’d recommend to adult lovers in relationships that aren’t merely sweet, but deep and richly intense.

About the two of uskarin

Karin “About the Two of Us” [MV]

Singer-songwriter Karin, who gained attention from her piano-and-vocal videos on TikTok.

Released in March 2023, this song portrays lovers facing a farewell at a quiet bus stop.

Though they speak different languages and grew up in different environments, they spent their days laughing at the same things and crying over the same things.

In lyrics that gently trace the overlapping of their hearts, a form of love that transcends gender and nationality comes into view.

It’s a song that resonates with the determination to keep believing in each other, even when distance keeps them apart and they can’t meet when they want to.

Sundayback number

back number – Sunday (full)

A song that gently portrays a calm Sunday morning with a lover.

The voice waking a partner who sleeps almost until noon, the sweet wish to push back mealtime, days content with small happinesses.

More than grand dreams or ideals, the feeling that reexamines the joy of sharing this very moment together resonates deeply.

Released as a single by back number in May 2012, it was used as the theme song for Hokkaido Broadcasting (HBC)’s 60th anniversary commemorative drama “Soup Curry,” starring TEAM NACS, and was later included on the album “blues.” This warm track reminds us that the ordinary moments spent by two people are irreplaceable treasures.

A 365-Day Love Story

This is a song by Sonar Pocket that gently warms the heart.

It reminds us that the irreplaceable days lovers spend together weave a cherished story one day at a time.

The sentiment expressed by member ko-dai—“Our everyday life together, through good times and bad, is our love story”—is deeply embedded in this work.

Released in October 2011, the track is also included on the album Sonapokeism ③ ~Kimi to no 365-nichi~ (365 Days with You).

It was also loved as the October ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Onegai! Ranking.” For two people who share mutual feelings, listening to it while holding onto their happy memories will surely deepen their sense of happiness even more.

1 Minute 1 Second / Mosawo [Music Video]

Collecting everyday candid photos and turning them into an anniversary video is wonderful, isn’t it? The perfect BGM for that is a song called “1 Minute 1 Second.” It’s a piece performed by singer-songwriter Mosawo.

The lyrics liken memories to a camera roll, conveying that each and every shot is a treasure.

Of course, it’s also great for couples to listen to together as they reminisce.

Be sure to check it out along with the much-talked-about, emotional music video.
