ClariS is a female duo known for numerous anime tie-in songs as their signature tracks.

Their song “Koi Sekai” is used as the opening theme for the anime “Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence.” As the title suggests, it’s a love song that sings about feelings related to romance.

You can sense the dilemma of one-way emotions—having so much in your heart but being unable to put it into words—yet thanks to ClariS’s cute and refreshing vocals, it comes across as a song brimming with the feelings of a charming girl.

Some of you might find that, even knowing it’s a lost cause, you still can’t give up.

Capturing that feeling with a refreshing touch is the song “Fuzzy Navel.” It’s a track released by the next-generation rock band Conton Candy, and it’s also known for going viral on TikTok.

In the song, love is likened to a sweet yet slightly bitter fuzzy navel, and that metaphor contributes to the song’s fresh, uplifting vibe.

As you listen, pay special attention to the resolve expressed at the very end.

LOVE LOVE LOVEDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE「LOVE LOVE LOVE」

It’s the theme song of the drama “Aishiteiru to Ittekure” (Say You Love Me), starring Etsushi Toyokawa and Takako Tokiwa.

The drama is a love story between a deaf painter and an aspiring actress.

The frustration of wanting to say “I like you” but being unable to express it closely mirrors the drama, and both the song and the show became widely talked about.

A version later released with English lyrics as well.

Just conveying simple words like “I like you” or “I love you” can bring you to tears… That’s what we call “romance,” isn’t it?

fragileEvery Little Thing

Every Little Thing / fragile

A song chosen as the theme for the romance reality show “Ainori.” Just like the song says, everything in love begins with a meeting.

Because we meet, we experience pain and anxiety—but even so, we can’t help wishing for the hope that lies ahead.

It’s a song that makes you want a sincere kind of love—one where you can honestly say you’re happy you fell for someone, and where, even if it hurts, you still want to be together.

Man & WomanMy Little Lover

My Little Lover—commonly known as Mylova—is a hit song released in 1995.

With its unburdened production and airy vocals, everything comes together in this signature track for Mylova.

Its world, which brightly portrays the loneliness of a woman who has broken up with her boyfriend and is now on her own, resonated deeply with women and young people at the time.

Summer loverSHISHAMO

SHISHAMO 'Summer Lover'

Many people have either told a partner it’s over or been on the receiving end.

With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “Natsu no Koibito” (“Summer Lover”).

It’s a song released by SHISHAMO in 2016, depicting the casual scenes of a summer romance and the farewell that eventually arrives.

Because the decision to break up is stated clearly early in the song, the everyday moments that follow feel all the more heartrending.

The section in the latter half that portrays inner conflict, and the transition from there into an a cappella part, are especially emotional.

White LoveSPEED

White Love – SPEED (Full)

This is a song by SPEED, a female dance group that was active in the late 1990s.

The single sold a total of 2 million copies, making it the biggest hit among SPEED’s songs.

It’s often thought of as a winter song, but did you know it’s actually about a long-distance relationship? I think it’s a track that shines on cold winter nights when you can’t see the person you love.
