After only the first verse, it’s still uncertain and in the realm of suspicion, but once the second verse begins, the story moves forward and unfolds—like watching a drama.

If you want to make me your girlfriendKoresawa
Koresawa’s “Atashi o Kanojo ni Shitai Nara” feels like a song that jots down a quick list of requests for a future boyfriend.
Reading the lyrics, it almost sounds like she’s saying, “You don’t have to think about anything—just love me the way I want you to.” But I also get the sense that this is the flip side of wanting to be loved that much.
It might be a bravado-filled girl’s best defensive wall.
If you started dating her, you’d probably be on the receiving end of the ultimate possessiveness from a very jealous girlfriend.

Even after the betrayal of cheating, you still find yourself thinking you love your partner—that feeling probably resonates with many people.

Being cheated on can stir up overwhelming jealousy, right? That emotion—and the feeling of still loving your partner—is packed into the lyrics without needing many words.
To tell you the truth,Young Skinny
“Hontou wa ne,” released by Young Skinny in October 2022, is a work that delicately portrays nuanced emotions.
Chosen as the ending theme for TBS’s “Osama no Brunch,” the song centers on the complex feelings of a woman who can’t straightforwardly put into words her feelings for someone she loves, expressing the universal frustration and bittersweetness of romance.
The more you listen, the more you’re drawn into its subtle and profound emotional expression.
It’s especially recommended for those who struggle with self-expression in love or have trouble conveying their true feelings.
Young Skinny’s musicality and deeply crafted lyrics capture listeners’ hearts and don’t let go.
