Takanon, known for love songs featuring GUMI, wrote both the lyrics and music.
The title “Nankai” is a double meaning of “How Many Times” (nankai) and “Difficult to Understand” (nankai).
It’s a charming yet heartrending masterpiece that depicts an unrequited love.

This is a song by Hoehoe-P, who is also active as a musician and has gained popularity.
It’s an up-tempo number with a refreshing, memorable melody.
The lyrics are heartbreakingly moving and instantly gripping, yet the ending leaves you with a warm sense of kindness—a true masterpiece.
husktoa
I think it’s perfect for when you want to cry your heart out and reset your feelings.
It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer toa, who has created hits like “Tsugihagi Staccato,” “ID Smile,” and “Dry Dry Flower,” and it was released in 2013.
Hatsune Miku’s transparent, airy vocals are striking—they fit the grand and beautiful melody perfectly.
The lyrics, which depict parting and reunion, are profoundly moving.
The more you listen, the more it tugs at your tear ducts—a deeply affecting ballad.
Linarianiito P
The flower language of “Linaria” is “Please know my love.” It begins with a piano accompaniment, with delicate strings supporting the vocals.
It portrays a pure, straightforward girl’s feelings of love.
There are also separate versions by MEIKO and KAITO.
The First GoodbyeHONEY WORKS
This is a song produced by the creator unit HoneyWorks.
It’s connected to their earlier tracks “Nakimushi Kareshi” and “Suki Kirai,” and together they form a single story.
That story was also written as a novel and was published in 2013 by Kadokawa Beans Bunko.
Shooting StarLinmu
Feelings that started drifting apart before we knew it, a distance we want to bridge but can’t.
It’s a heartrending love song about that delicate gap between two people who matter to each other.
Created by Vocaloid producer Linmu and released in 2020.
Its stylish sound carries elements of progressive rock—very sophisticated.
Perhaps that’s why, although songs about romantic relationships have always existed, this one feels like it depicts a very contemporary form of love.
I hope the protagonist’s wish comes true…
Edward ScissorhandsNem
The songwriter and composer is Nem, who is also active as an amateur musician and is well regarded for the high quality of his work.
As the title suggests, this piece is an homage to Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands.
