I love youFumido

A unique worldview that inevitably makes you think, “This is definitely Fuumidou.” Meanings in the lyrics that you only understand once you’ve grown a little older.
Things you realize only after deciding to say goodbye.
And the fact that you can’t go back anymore.
That there are feelings you can express only through song.
Everything is, in any case, sorrowful and beautiful.
An Unforgettable LoveYU-A

YU-A’s distinctive, straight-ahead vocals dye the song’s world in the colors of love.
With a melodious tune pulsing with a dance beat, it’s a track that hints at the beginning of romance.
As you listen, it feels like past traumas are washed away, as if the next encounter resets all your feelings.
Meguro Rivermiwa

The acoustic version is very mellow, while the original version is pop in a good way.
It has a fair bit of speed, and the changing seasons come to mind.
In spring, it really makes you want to go to the Meguro River.
A song with that much realism.
Season of LoveNaoto Inti Raymi

Naoto Inti Raymi is a singer-songwriter who made his major-label debut with “Growing up!!”.
His song “Koisuru Kisetsu” (“Season of Love”) became a hot topic as the commercial song for Kirin Beer’s “Atarashii Hyoketsu.” It’s a perfect youth anthem for both starting a new life and the beginning of love.
It’s a highly recommended track that makes you feel like, “Meeting you changed my world.”
URLAmo SAKAGUCHI

Singer-songwriter Anbo Sakaguchi, who aspired to be a musician in elementary school and even worked as a radio DJ in high school.
Her 6th single “URL,” chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime Horimiya -piece-, is delightful with its cute vocals and pop ensemble.
The lyrics tell the story of wanting to be able to go see the person you like right away, a feeling that resonates even more strongly thanks to the instantly imaginable phrase “URL,” especially for younger generations.
It’s an emotional number that brilliantly contrasts a timeless, universal longing for love with contemporary imagery.
Kiss meKo Shibasaki

Released in November 2007, this song is by the musical duo of Kou Shibasaki and Masaharu Fukuyama.
Its up-tempo vibe evokes the feeling of a romance just beginning.
It’s a track that seems to turn the nervousness of falling in love into an exciting thrill.
The rock-infused sound and clear, transparent vocals leave a strong impression.
