Superfly “A Bouquet With Love” Music Video

A bouquet with love Superfly

It was released in 2008 as Superfly’s fourth single.

The song was used as the theme for the TBS drama “Edison no Haha” (Edison’s Mother) and is often played at weddings during the end roll or bouquet presentation scenes.

It’s also one of Superfly’s signature songs, frequently sung at karaoke.

back number – “Happy End” Music Video

Happy End back number

When I first heard it, I was so moved I actually cried.

It expresses the painful feelings of a girlfriend who has to break up, even though she really doesn’t want to.

You can feel how her emotions keep swelling, and how she’s trying to hold herself back.

The lyrics capture exactly what the one being dumped feels: “I haven’t changed at all, so what’s different between when we first started dating and now?” It made me cry.

Bouquet back number

It’s a rare song whose lyrics are basically the fresh, just-started-dating couple’s conversation as-is.

The boyfriend’s desire to cherish his girlfriend is expressed, albeit a little subtly.

It’s a heartwarming, gentle song that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy when you listen to it.

Not reflected in the eyesindigo la End

indigo la End – Not Reflected in Your Eyes

indigo la End that doesn’t reflect in my eyes

When I only listened to the audio, I got the impression it was a song by a somewhat mentally unstable woman.

But after watching the PV, my view changed.

The way I feel about the song has changed quite a bit.

I also thought, “So that’s why it has this title,” and I could feel indigo’s worldview even more strongly.

When I realized it, I was in unrequited love.Nogizaka46

Nogizaka46 'Kizuitara Kataomoi' Short Ver.

Unrequited Love - Nogizaka46

It was released in 2014 as Nogizaka46’s eighth single.

The song features Nanase Nishino in the center position and, in contrast to the group’s previous works that often took a more masculine perspective, it is written from a feminine point of view.

It was used as the TV commercial song for “Mega Shaki,” “Giga Shaki,” and “Mega Shaki Gum.”

I love itSakurako Ohara

Sakurako Ohara – I Love You (Music Video Short ver.)

I love you, Sakurako Ohara

It was released in 2016 as Sakurako Ohara’s fifth solo single.

The song was used in a commercial for Colopl’s “Shironeko Project,” and it reached No.

5 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It was her first single after turning 20, and the lyrics—depicting the frustration of being unable to confess one’s feelings and the complex emotions of a girl overflowing with love—make it an especially charming track.

loveGen Hoshino

Gen Hoshino – Koi (Official Video)

Love Hoshino Gen

It’s the theme song of the drama “We Married as a Job!” (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu), and I think countless people have sung it.

The ‘Koi Dance’ was hugely popular too.

Hoshino Gen’s dancing in the music video is really cute.

I feel it’s a song that makes you think not only about romance, but also about family, marriage, and our connections with others.
