DECO*27 – Maiden Dissection feat. Hatsune Miku

I think many high school students like Vocaloid love songs.

For you, I recommend a track by DECO*27 called “Otome Kaibou” (Maiden Dissection).

Its literary, meticulously crafted lyrics allow you to pick up various messages.

The music video is staged like a manga, and the dark aesthetic that matches the song’s tone draws you right in.

snow jam – Rin-ne (Official Music Video)

A perfect love song for winter! It’s “snow jam,” a love song by Rin-ne, a rapper from Fukuoka Prefecture.

“Rin音” is pronounced “Rinne.” Many listeners say this song makes them feel warm and cozy.

With its calm sound, it captures the timid feelings of a man in unrequited love and the irresistible longing of being head over heels for someone—sure to make your heart flutter.

It’s a stylish touch to everyday life and a recommended track for both men and women.

LOVEMACO

MACO – LOVE

This song is the first single by MACO, a singer-songwriter who enjoys overwhelming support from the younger generation.

Above all, what immediately catches the ear is her voice.

Its straight, glossy tone is so pleasant to listen to—an endearing voice that makes anyone think, “How lovely!” Next, pay attention to the lyrics.

They capture the feelings of someone in the midst of a sweet-and-sour, delicate romance—something that high school students, in particular, will deeply relate to.

If you’re currently dating someone, this is a must-listen: a song that invites you to empathize and feel that fluttery, happy excitement.

With just a kissMasaki Suda feat. Aimyon

Masaki Suda “Just a Kiss feat. Aimyon”

The heartrending melody really resonates, doesn’t it? “Kiss Dake de” is a collaboration between Aimyon, a singer-songwriter popular among high school students, and Masaki Suda, an actor hugely popular with younger generations.

Because it’s sung from both male and female perspectives, it’s recommended for both male and female high schoolers.

It’s also popular for karaoke, so be sure to give it a try!

When the magic wears offSaucy Dog

Saucy Dog “When the Magic Wears Off” Music Video

Not only does “When the Spell Breaks” portray the happy times spent together, it also depicts the parting that comes afterward.

The song is performed by Saucy Dog, who have captivated listeners with numerous love songs.

One of their hallmarks is skillfully depicting stories and scenes that listeners can relate to, and that appeal is fully on display in this track.

Many people will surely identify with the lyrics, which describe the joy of being in a relationship as being “under a spell.” If you listen while overlaying it with your own experiences, you’ll likely find your heart moved by its bittersweetness.

Aimyon – It Smells Like a Midsummer Night [very short movie]

Aimyon is a singer-songwriter who represents the Reiwa era.

I think her appeal lies in the sharp, piercing lyrics she’s had since her indie days.

And her 2019 track “I Smell the Midsummer Night” is a decidedly tricky and peculiar song, far removed from the image of a pop hit.

It’s a song that might surprise you on first listen, but the lyrics are unmistakably her.

Straightforward and true, I think it links to your complex, not-so-simple feelings of being in love.
