Jpop Recommend #41 Kimi ga omoidasu Boku wa Kimi wo aishiteiru darouka by V6

君が思い出す僕は君を愛しているだろうか Kimi ga omoidasu Boku wa Kimi wo aishiteiru darouka (Do I in your memory love you enough?)

V6

Released in August 2013, this song with such a long title is the 42nd single for V6. Debuted as an idol group of 6 boys by Johnny & Associates in 1995, the members has reached in their 30s and 40s.  Most of the members are now active in their own activities as actor, musical actor, reporter, and MC.


Two of the members, Masayuki Sakamoto and Yoshihiko Inohara, are known as one of the most talented singers in the Johnny & Associates.  This song really matches their soft low voice and I believe beautiful melody touches everyone's heart.

The lyrics of this song are a bit unique.  In most of the love songs such as "Doushite Kimi wo suki ni nattandarou", another long title song by 東方新起, broken-hearted boy still prays for the happiness of a girl.  But in this song, the boy plead to a girl not to be happy.  Oh well, love is a selfish thing.  This song may be more true to real feeling...
