Jpop Recommend #480 Nandemonaiyo by Makaroni Empitsu

なんでもないよ、 Nandemonaiyo

マカロニえんぴつ Macaroni Empitsu


Released in November 2021, this song was released as one of the songs in the band's first album, " ハッピーエンドへの期待は, Happy end e no kitai wa".  This song was also released through online streaming as their 4th single.

This song has a unique charm and I've grown to love this song.  The melody is simply beautiful and the lyrics deliver a straight-forward message.    In the middle of love confession, he felt suddenly embarrassed.  "なんでもないよ, Nan demo nai yo" (It's nothing) is a word used when you stop or strike out what is being said.  So he said "Nandemonaiyo" to hide his embarrassment.

I have nothing...on a second thought, I can't say that actually
