Favorite J-Pop Singles: My Little Lover / Man and Woman

I got this single as a Christmas gift years ago, and it remains to this day my favorite song from Akko and the boys!
Kind of a fun song to sing at karaoke, with its spiralling lyrics and catchy chorus…

“I-GOT-SOMETHING-NEW!”

“Kanashimi no tame iki hitori mi no setsunasa
Dakishimetai! Dakishimetai! Kara - Man and Woman
Aishiteru Aishiterutte ittemo suki dakara suki dakarate itemo
Kito kotoba dake jya dame daiyo Man and Woman
Itsuka wa………….. hey hey hey!”

I remember during an inventory, coworker Ren was scanning through the j-pop single section (which she knew nothing about) and pulled out a single for the group, and said in a fawning voice, “Ohhh, look! My Little Lover…Aww…What a CUTE name for a group!”
Yep!
