Hey,SHISHAMO

SHISHAMO “Hey,”

Hey, SHISHAMO

A cute unrequited love song included on the album “SHISHAMO 5.” If I don’t hurry, someone else might snatch them away! But I just can’t seem to say those two little letters! It’s a song overflowing with the frustrating feelings of a one-sided crush.

In “Hey,” it’s that pause after the comma that captures unrequited love—the words just won’t come out! You could even say the entire depiction of unrequited love in this song is condensed into that single comma.

Her strong, clear vocals make this a soothing song.

It features Ai Otsuka’s signature poppy, bright melody and an easy-to-groove rhythm.

MAyumi Hamasaki

Ayumi Hamasaki / M (Short Ver.)

M Ayumi Hamasaki

In the music video for “M,” many people probably remember Ayumi Hamasaki singing in a wedding dress.

Her vocals in the chorus sound like a cry from the soul to Maria in a chapel at a wedding venue.

Even when the person you love hurts you or makes you feel lonely, you find that, in the end, you are healed and fulfilled all the same.

Even if it means facing hardships, you still want to be with the one you love.

Perhaps that is the ultimate vow.
