A four-piece rock band formed by members who met on social media, Young Skinny sings a song that portrays the bittersweet feelings of a woman who can’t forget an old love.
She’s thrown away all the mementos to move on to her next relationship, yet the memories alone won’t fade, and they resurface in unexpected moments—an experience many of us have had.
The more you think, “I’ve already forgotten,” the more the memories cling to you.
It’s a heartbreak song that gently tells those who wonder, “Why do I keep dwelling on this?” that they’re not alone and that it’s going to be okay.

It drew attention when it was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama Guilty: Akuma to Keiyaku Shita Onna.
It’s an R&B-style ballad, with JUJU’s clear, piercing vocals striking straight to the heart.

It’s a song by Tokyo Jihen, the rock band led by singer-songwriter Ringo Sheena, released in 2004 as their second single.
It’s a very mature rock number where the tight, sharp performance meshes perfectly with Sheena’s sweet vocals.
I bet many people are drawn to this kind of cool, stylish worldview.

A little; a bitDaikoku Maki
This is one of Maki Ohguro’s early hit songs.
It’s an intense rock number that expresses lingering feelings for the man who unilaterally broke things off—very characteristic of Maki Ohguro’s style.
If you can handle the rap section right before the final chorus at karaoke, it might look pretty cool.
The production exemplifies the early 1990s, with the saxophone sound capturing that era most of all.

Many people surely feel their hearts ache just imagining never being able to see their partner again.
