Songs of mature love. Love songs to listen to at night (91–100)
Stop this nightJUJU
Lyrics that use a variety of expressions unique to JUJU.
The line about feeling afraid of the words “I love you” feels profoundly moving.
The idea of “stopping this night” is also something very adult, prompting many reflections on the feelings of being in love.
The gently somber tone of the song is another highlight.
The Other Side of Meaiko
A song that expresses the frustration and sadness of heartbreak in a slightly roundabout way.
It has a wistful feel, like a breakup song for a grown woman.
Precisely because she’s an adult, there are many things she wants to ask, but she deliberately holds back and pretends not to notice—that’s what makes it so heartrending.
It’s also notable that the track is crafted as a bright number with light, sprightly piano.
Night on the Galactic RailroadGOING STEADY
When I listen to this song, it brings back memories of my student days in a boarding house—sweaty, youthful memories come flooding back.
I used to sing this song while gazing up at the night sky by the sea, without thinking about anything.
It’s been more than ten years since then; have I become the kind of adult I once idealized? Precisely because I’m an adult now, I want to listen to it again.
stationTakeuchi Mariya
This is a song I really want adult women to listen to when they fall in love.
It carries a unique poignancy and sadness that only Mariya Takeuchi can convey—indescribable and guaranteed to tighten your chest.
The lyrics, about unexpectedly spotting someone you once loved, give it a mature feel.
It’s also a song that, I think, teaches you that you can find another partner.
camouflageTakeuchi Mariya
Camouflage by Mariya Takeuchi always conveys mature romance with such finesse.
I wonder what adult unrequited love is like—maybe it’s that feeling where you kind of understand your own emotions, but you’re too scared to get closer.
If you can grasp that feeling, I guess that’s what it means to be an adult.
AM11:00HY
HY has everything from refreshing love songs to heart-wrenching ones, and I’d say many people listen to them whenever they fall in love.
The best song to start your morning with is “AM11:00.” Its breezy lyrics are perfect for the morning.
KindnessFuji Kaze
This is a song by Fujii Kaze that delicately portrays the confusion and complex feelings that arise when touched by someone else’s kindness.
Even while being enveloped in a warm gaze, you can’t help but feel your own immaturity and weakness.
That emotional wavering is depicted alongside gentle piano melodies.
Released in April 2020 and included on the album “HELP EVER HURT NEVER,” the track was also used in a TV commercial for NatureLab’s Laundrin.
It’s a song to listen to when you can’t be honest about your feelings or when you’re struggling with a relationship with someone important.
A heartwarming ballad that helps you realize the true value of kindness.
