Without noticing her own feelings, she gives her friend advice, only to be overwhelmed by bittersweet emotions and come to the realization: I really do like them.

The theme song of the blockbuster film Detective Conan: The Crimson Love Letter.

With this song, Mai Kuraki performed a theme song for Detective Conan for the 21st time, earning recognition from the Guinness Book of Records for the most theme songs for the same work performed by the same artist.

“Togetsukyo ~Kimi Omou~” was written specifically for the movie, so it synchronizes with its story.

Masayoshi Oishi – It Seems Like It Has To Be You / THE FIRST TAKE

A track sung under the name Masayoshi Oishi by Masayoshi Oishi, who also performed as the vocalist and guitarist of Sound Schedule.

It was used as the opening theme for the anime Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun.

That feeling you have when you’re in love—where no matter what anyone says, you can’t accept anyone but the person you’ve fallen for—is a universal psychology, isn’t it? And the irresistible urge to see them, to know more about them, is a feeling anyone who’s experienced unrequited love can relate to.

This song sets those quintessential unrequited-love moments to a light, upbeat rhythm.

While unrequited love often brings on a sense of wistfulness, listening to this track will turn that feeling into something bright!

This song was the theme for Masayoshi Yamazaki’s first starring film, The Moon and a Cabbage, and ten years after its release it was chosen as the theme song for Makoto Shinkai’s animated film 5 Centimeters per Second.

It sings of the sorrow and heartache of no longer being able to see a beloved person, and of the unwavering feelings that keep you thinking of them even after you’re apart.

It also matches the film’s story—two people who meet in elementary school are separated in junior high, and their loves and souls continue to wander—making it a moving, tear-jerking piece.
