This is a signature work by Calvin, one of the world’s most popular top DJs, often ranked first or second.

This song, which was used in the hugely popular vampire film series Twilight in Japan as well, could be called the ultimate love song.

It’s filled with deep love, because saying you’ll love someone for a lifetime is something that’s not easy to put into words.

Eminem – Love The Way You Lie ft. Rihanna

Eminem’s rap is really cool, and Rihanna’s vocals are beautiful in this song.

There are many forms of romantic relationships, but this track drew particular attention as a collaboration between Eminem, who had a history of domestic violence, and Rihanna, who had been subjected to domestic violence by Chris Brown.

You’re BeautifulJames Blunt

James Blunt – You’re Beautiful (Official Music Video) [4K]

It’s a song that was a huge hit in Japan quite a while ago, and I think it’s a very simple and lovely love song.

That’s exactly why I’d especially like women in their 30s—the generation it resonates with—to give it a listen.

James looks youthful and cool in the music video.

All Of MeJohn Legend

John Legend – All of Me (Official Video)

This is the kind of song that makes you think, “I want someone to sing this to me!” without even meaning to.

I can’t get John’s voice out of my head.

In the music video, he looks simply wonderful singing and playing the piano.

The black-and-white filming enhances the song’s world even more, and his chemistry with the beautiful model makes my heart race.

Labyrinth’s startlingly sexy vocals paired with Emeli’s powerful, featured harmonies feel so good that once you hear them, you can’t forget them.

It’s a song about mature relationships.

I’d love to have someone who likes this kind of song sing it to me.
