[Adulterous Love] A love song about a secret affair (51–60)
CountdownCocco
This is Cocco’s shocking debut work, depicting the end of a forbidden love driven by sheer passion.
The provocative, self-destructive words that corner the other person may be a reflection of frustration and despair at a relationship with no way out.
Released in March 1997, the song is also included on the album Bougainvillea.
Because you love someone so much, you feel a twisted impulse to destroy the relationship with your own hands—knowing it’s selfish, yet unable to stop.
Perhaps such overwhelming passion comes from being consumed by a love that should never be.
Place Of LoveLOVE PSYCHEDELICO
The drama “Hirugao: Lovers at 3 p.m.
on Weekdays.” Since this drama is themed around adulterous love, people in similar situations probably watched it while overlaying their own feelings onto it.
The song “Place Of Love” was written specifically as the theme for its film version.
Precisely because it was written for that purpose, it’s a track that conveys the bittersweet emotions felt during an affair, love with nowhere to go, and a painful reality.
The tone of the music also has a certain air of illicitness and tension, and just listening to it makes your heart race.
I didn’t want to know, if it meant losing it.atarayo
A song where aching sadness and faint hope intersect.
Carried by Atarayo’s vocals, it gently portrays the feelings of those tormented by unrequited love.
Even after learning the truth of a lie, the growing fear of losing the one you love is striking.
Released in January 2022 as an advance single from the album “In the Polar Night, the Moon Remains Silent,” this piece was born from a collaboration with the “Junwaidan” project, drawing on an episode selected from over 10,000 submissions.
It’s a song that stands beside anyone who wants to look forward while carrying the pain of heartbreak—recommended for moments when you want to face the complex emotions deep within your heart.
SAYONARA babyKato Miria
It’s a song from a woman’s perspective, and it feels like a story about an affair or cheating.
It also comes across as being the convenient woman.
You can clearly see her blaming herself for not ending an unrequited love even though she wants to.
The emotion of pretending not to notice, despite knowing, is deeply moving.

Nevertheless, I want to do it.Hirai Ken
It mainly gives off an Indian vibe, but when you listen to the lyrics, it feels like it speaks for people who are having an affair or cheating.
It’s uptempo and catchy, yet if you really listen, it’s as if it’s voicing a woman’s inner thoughts, which I can relate to.
A love I can tell no one abouterica
This love song is said to have been made for a fan with an unrequited crush.
Because it was based on real feelings, it has a super realistic vibe.
They fell in love, but the other person already has a partner, and there’s no one they can talk to.
The protagonist regrets having a forbidden love and sinks into terrible self-loathing.
Still, keeping quiet forever is too painful, so they decide to take a step forward.
No matter what kind of love it is, holding it all inside is hard, isn’t it?
usmilet
A song by milet that was chosen as the theme for the drama “Gisou Furin” (Fake Affair).
It’s a number that sings of complex emotions—anxiety that a single decisive word could shatter the world and relationships built up until now, intertwined with an uncontrollable feeling that it might be okay even if there’s no going back.
Precisely because it’s a love full of obstacles with no clear future, it stirs a longing to see what lies ahead, making it a heartrending track that feels like it could break into a sprint at any moment.
