On cold winter days, we sometimes find ourselves longing for someone’s kindness and warmth.

The song I’d like you to listen to is “Motto,” released by aiko in 2016.

Its lyrics, which depict the changing of the seasons, mirror the growing emotional distance between lovers.

Even the repeated phrase at the end of the chorus conveys a straightforward affection toward an ex-partner.

Set to a jazzy piano sound, her emotional vocals unfold throughout the track.

Why not listen while thinking of that unforgettable, special person?

Christmas songback number

back number – Christmas Song (full)

This is a highly popular Christmas song by back number, and it was also used as the theme song for the 2015 drama “5→9: From Five to Nine.” Even if you didn’t watch the show, many people have likely heard it somewhere during the Christmas season.

The song depicts a man preparing to confess his feelings to the person he likes just before Christmas.

While he considers the glittering city lights and sweet love songs of the season to be a bit cliché, he secretly envies them—something many listeners might relate to.

On the other hand, the chorus, which expresses his feelings for the woman he likes, is written with striking honesty, making it easy for anyone experiencing unrequited love—regardless of gender—to empathize.
