Chiai Sato – Hazy Spring Sky (Lyric Video)

Hanagumori by Chiaki Sato

Chiaki Sato, the singer-songwriter also known as a central figure of Kinoko Teikoku, whose hiatus was announced in 2019.

Her digital single Hanagumori is a wistful number, with lyrical melodies and arrangements that conjure up springtime scenes.

The story in the lyrics invites listeners to overlay their own memories—sentimental yet soothing.

It’s an emotional pop tune I’d recommend as BGM for moments when you want to immerse yourself in your own world.

Song of LoveKumi Koda

Kumi Koda / “Ai no Uta” (from the new album “WINTER of LOVE”)

Love Song - Koda Kumi

Sexy and cool Kuu-chan, aka Kumi Koda, sings the straightforward love song “Ai no Uta.” If you could have just one wish granted, what would you wish for? This phrase, which also served as the song’s tagline, makes you seriously ponder the question as you listen.

The song’s protagonist wishes to stay with “you” forever, even if the relationship remains ambiguous.

They feel a strong desire to date or to pursue their crush, but if everything could crumble in an instant, they’d rather choose a path where they can stay together just as they are.

It’s a feeling most people have experienced at least once.

Always, the two of usLeo Ieiri

Leo Ieiri – “Always, the Two of Us” (Theme song for the Sunday drama ‘Even If I Loved You, I Have Secrets.’)

Leo Ieiri, together forever, the two of us

This is the theme song for the drama “Even If You Loved Me, I Have Secrets,” starring Sota Fukushi.

Everyone has one or two secrets.

There are things you can tell a best friend, things you can’t even tell your parents—the depth of secrets varies.

So when you find someone important to you, can you lay all your secrets bare? This song was created to mirror the romance of the drama’s protagonist, who carries secrets they can’t share.

Wouldn’t it be nice to meet someone who, even if you reveal the secrets you’ve kept in your heart, says—just like in this song—that it doesn’t matter?
