Koresawa “Unqualified as a Lover” [Music Video]

A song that portrays the regret of parting with a former lover and the aching realization that lost love cannot be reclaimed.

Set to the warm sound of acoustic guitar, Koresawa’s gentle vocals seep into the heart.

The lyrics candidly confess self-reproach for failing to fulfill the role of a lover and the immaturity of not being able to empathize with the other’s feelings—sentiments that many will relate to.

Released digitally in June 2019, the track drew attention as a self-cover of a song originally provided to Miyuhan.

It’s a recommended listen for those nursing the pain of heartbreak or looking back on a past romance.

Yet, even that anxiety is supported by the strength of love.

Released digitally in October 2020, this track resonated with many listeners.

The music video by illustrator Fujima Megumu is wonderful as well.

It’s a song we’d love for anyone separated from someone important to hear.

[GUMI] Wrinkles [Official Video]

This is the kind of song I can’t help but introduce as the definitive “mutual-love” Vocaloid track.

It’s by buzzG, a Vocaloid producer who has been active at the forefront of the scene for many years, and it was released in 2012.

The fast-paced guitar rock sound is so cool.

It sings about two people growing older together, step by step—in other words, getting more “wrinkles.” The idea of “the happiness of always being able to stay by the side of someone important” is truly wonderful.

Please listen through to the end—the ending is genuinely moving.
