"Like When We First Met" MUSIC VIDEO / Every Little Thing

It’s a song that gently embraces the fresh feelings of two people in love.

From the lyrics, you can feel the sweet-and-sour, heart-fluttering emotions of lovers who have just met.

The repeated line “My Love Is Forever” carries a vow of unchanging, eternal love.

Released in April 1998, the track was also a big hit as the commercial song for Morinaga’s ICE BOX.

Paired with a melody that evokes the bittersweetness of summer romance, it became a memorable piece for many listeners.

It’s a song I’d recommend not only to those troubled by love, but also to anyone who wants to renew their feelings for someone special.

Mr.Children "Seesaw Game ~A Brave Love Song~" from TOUR 2017 Thanksgiving 25

Mr.

Children, the rock band that needs no introduction in Japan, is definitely an artist you want to listen to when you’re in love.

Among their songs, “Seesaw Game ~Brave Love Song~” is a refreshing track I’d recommend to both men and women as an anthem for love.

In particular, the lyrics that convey “no matter how many painful experiences you’ve had in love, you end up falling in love again” deliver an uplifting message that’s perfect when you’re heartbroken—absolutely wonderful! It also fits those times when you’re struggling with a tough crush, so be sure to listen to it in all kinds of situations.

Mr.

Children have countless classic love songs, but I’ve deliberately picked this one as a representative.

It’s not a ballad but a rock tune, and within its powerful sound you can glimpse the resolve and determination toward love.

It’s nice to have a love song that isn’t just gentle once in a while.

Incidentally, released in 1996 as their 10th single at the time, it became the first in Oricon history to surpass one million copies in its first week.

It was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Pure.”
