Her lyrics convey the real feelings of girls straight to the heart—women can’t help but relate! This track is from her second album, “Never Grow Up,” and is said to be based on Chanmina’s own experiences in love.

The words he says to other girls, the way he looks at them, the time spent apart—what is he doing then? It’s full of the worries of someone in love.

Aimyon – You Don’t Listen to Rock [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Here is Aimyon’s third major single, released in 2017.

What’s interesting about this song is that Aimyon, a woman, wrote it from a male perspective.

The title, “Kimi wa Rock wo Kikanai” (“You Don’t Listen to Rock”), refers to the man in the song who wants to cheer up the woman he likes by letting her listen to his favorite music.

He knows she doesn’t like rock, but because the song is precious to him, he wants her to hear it—and he wants her to know him better, too.

Those feelings are very relatable: caring for the other person while also holding onto your own desires.

That kind of dilemma makes the song both cute and bittersweet.
