This is the song that was chosen as the theme for the drama Love Lasts Forever.
It’s overflowing with love for someone special, with a desire to convey the words “I love you.” Official HIGE DANDism’s way of expression isn’t just about straightforwardly conveying feelings; there’s always a bit of clever craft that comes beforehand, which makes reading the lyrics enjoyable.
Their high-tone vocals may be striking, but there are other charms like that as well.

LetterSHE’S
SHE’S, well-regarded among rock fans as a piano-rock band, has captivated many with their whisper-soft, thornless vocals.
“Letter” is a song wrapped in gentle warmth.
Within that kindness, it’s a song about wanting to become someone worthy of a precious person.
The feeling of “I regret hurting the one I love, yet I still want to feel love” is complicated, but surely relatable to some.
It’s a track I’d especially like students who are just awakening to love in their teens to hear.

Leina is a currently active junior high school singer-songwriter.
Even as a middle schooler, her expressive power and vocal ability are outstanding, and she’s known for a voice that evokes deep emotion.
She’s a truly one-of-a-kind singer.
“Unopened Love” is a bittersweet unrequited love song.
The theme of unrequited love and Leina’s poignant delivery bring tears to your eyes.
I hope students—Leina’s peers—will understand and connect with her feelings.
Listen once, and you’ll empathize with Leina’s candid emotions and surely become hooked.

Kenshi Yonezu has performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, and he not only creates his own music but also produces for many other singers, showcasing his diverse talents.
For some reason, every one of his songs draws you in—he has a mysterious power.
“Eine Kleine” was used as a Tokyo Metro commercial song.
It’s a piece that cherishes everyday life with someone important and expresses the wish to stay together from here on.
In your student days, you might not think too deeply about the moments you spend with someone, but I hope this song encourages you to value your feelings for the person you’ve come to love.
