1. LOVE YOU ONLY ~Rearranged~ (2004)
LYO is TOKIO& #39;s debut song. This "rearranged" version of LYO, however, is less poppy & more melancholic. It fits perfectly for the band& #39;s 10th anniversary
The PV byhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz"> is amazing btw

5. Hummingbird (2005)
One of my fav songs out of the Act II album. Can& #39;t really explain why it& #39;s such a good song but maybe it sounds hopeful & sad at the same time. Dunno

Honestly can& #39;t complain about this cause both versions are equally beautiful
