LOVE DEEPER (Prod. m.c.A•T)Reiko
This is a track by REIKO that inscribes a new page in the history of Japanese R&B.
It drew attention for officially sampling “Ryusei no Saddle,” a classic from Toshinobu Kubota’s landmark 1986 album SHAKE IT PARADISE.
The fact that Kubota himself—the original composer—praised it as “several times funkier than the source” speaks to its exceptional quality.
When you want to savor love anew, listening to this song will surely fill you with a gentle, tender feeling.

The lines depicting a love that overflows beyond logic bring back the moment you first fell for someone.
It’s a highly recommended song for anyone who wants to rekindle those sweet and bittersweet memories of youth.

HoneyWorks, the creator unit beloved for their heart-fluttering coming-of-age stories.
First unveiled at an event in August 2025, this song marks a new chapter in the Confession Executive Committee series.
It portrays the thrill of love that begins to move after a reunion with a childhood friend.
The exhilarating band sound and catchy melody link perfectly with the sweet-and-sour lyrics, resulting in top-tier youth pop.
It’s perfect for when you want to savor the rush of a budding romance, or to brighten your mood on a morning when you’re taking on a challenge!
knot; tie; bind; concludeSaucy Dog
A song by Saucy Dog that vividly captures the restless, fidgety feelings from a male perspective and the slightly awkward atmosphere of a new relationship.
It was released in March 2020 and included on the mini-album “Take Me,” which came out in September of the same year.
The anxiety and jealousy born from being mutually in love—and therefore not wanting to lose the other person—tighten your chest, especially when mixed with the exhilaration of summer.
Yet the song also expresses deep affection for a partner who accepts that clumsiness, along with a warm resolve to build a future together, which makes your heart feel at ease as you listen.
If you play it on a summer evening spent together, you’ll surely be reminded of how precious you are to each other.

Told from both of their perspectives, it’s a track that powerfully conveys gratitude toward the person who saved them from lonely days.
Released in May 2009 as a single by Miliyah Kato and included on the classic album “Ring,” the song became hugely popular, with its music video winning an award at MTV VMAJ 2010.
The section in the latter half where their harmonies intertwine is a must-hear.
