Love ForeverShota Shimizu × Miliyah Kato
This is a track included on the collaboration single “Love Forever” by singer-songwriters Miliyah Kato and Shota Shimizu, released on May 13, 2009.

It’s a song that expresses those feelings straightforwardly.
If there really is a destined person for meKana Nishino
Kana Nishino, who made her major debut in 2008 with the single “I,” is popular mainly among teens and people in their twenties, and has released many hit love songs.
“If There’s a Soulmate” gained attention as the commercial song for Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Vitamin Carbonated MATCH.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you feel you might have just met the one.
Love StoryNamie Amuro
I like him, but I can’t make it work with the path I’ve chosen… Maybe there are other female college students job hunting who feel the same way.
It’s a song that expresses the frustration and inner conflict of not being able to have two precious things at the same time.
Love’s Melody and Rainy SkiesAAA
“Koi-Oto to Amazora” is AAA’s 38th single.
It’s a song that gently sings of overflowing feelings of love.
If realizing it won’t come true only brings pain, maybe it’s happier to remain unaware—many of us have probably felt that way at some point.
This is a song I’d recommend to anyone who has.
