This is one of Rihanna’s famous songs, which Japan national soccer team coach Vahid Halilhodžić is said to be a fan of.

The lyrics sing of a love as beautiful as diamonds, and combined with her unique personality, it makes for a wonderful track.

Recommended for those who want to listen to a slightly unconventional love song.

The 1975 – I’m In Love With You (Official Video)

A heartwarming love song by the British pop-rock band The 1975 that portrays the difficulty of expressing love and the moment of confessing those feelings after overcoming fear.

Based in Manchester, they candidly capture the joy and anxiety of falling in love with an upbeat sound that incorporates elements of 1980s disco and synth-pop.

First premiered in August 2022 at Japan’s Summer Sonic festival, the track was created based on frontman Matty Healy’s real experiences and centers on love that grows beyond cultural differences.

Released in September 2022 as part of the album “Being Funny in a Foreign Language,” it also drew attention for its black-and-white music video themed around a pure confession of love.

It’s a recommended song for anyone who wants to relate to the feeling of being in love or lift their spirits with a catchy, uplifting melody.
