Happinessback number

Happiness / back number (cover)

A song that portrays the heartbreaking image of “watching from the side as the one you like falls in love with someone else.” The pain of unrequited love comes through plainly—like listening to them talk about the person they like just to be able to stay by their side.

It also makes you think that being with someone who wishes, “Even if it doesn’t come true, I just want you to be happy,” would be a blessing.

It’s a heartbreak song about unrequited love, but it’s also one that makes you want to cherish the people around you who quietly watch over you.

back number – Love (Short ver.)

Back Number’s unrequited love song “Koi.” When you fall for someone, sometimes you can’t see anyone else, right? This song sings about that pure feeling, saying that no matter who else appears, the one who loves that person the most will always be me.

I think it’s rare to hold on to such a pure feeling of thinking about just one person.

It’s wonderful, isn’t it?

Before you become a memorysupittsu

Before You Become a Memory / Spitz

A song that starts on the premise that a breakup is already decided has a certain sadness to it.

Once we part, everything we have now will turn into memories—so “Before you become a memory,” I want you to keep smiling…

It’s such pure love that you almost sigh at how selfless it is.

A bit too kind, yet always wishing for the other person’s happiness—pure love is wonderful.

Spitz’s unadorned sound fits this worldview perfectly in this track.
