LOVE (I want to hold you)sawada kenji
Julie’s bittersweet, grown-up love song.
From the very beginning, you can tell he’s dying to hold his lover tight.
A cheating song told from a man’s perspective is unusual.
It seems the woman has a family, while the man is single.
Even though she loves him, there’s someone who loves her even more, and that makes him incredibly lonely.
Since it would be bad if her affair were exposed, the man ultimately decides to step back.
Even though I love you this muchSha ran Q
One of Sharan Q’s hit songs.
It sings of the pain of loving someone single-mindedly but being unable to tell her.
The woman he loves seems to have another man she likes.
He can’t get her out of his head all day—he’s crazy about her, and it hurts.
He finally gets a chance to be alone with her and decides to act, ready to pour out the feelings he’s kept hidden! Sharan Q excels at songs about men who devote themselves to women, or slightly soft, sensitive men.
Unfinished MelodyYaita Hitomi
It’s a heart-wrenching love song that pleads to be chosen.
This piece by Hitomi Yaida—also known for hits like “My Sweet Darlin’” and “Look Back Again”—was released in 2002 as her eighth single.
It’s a mid-tempo rock number with a cool, chilly atmosphere, and the melody and vocals accentuate that coolness.
It pairs well with the sorrowful worldview of the lyrics.
A room feels so much bigger when the person you were with is no longer there, doesn’t it?
Bloom like a rose, fall like a cherry blossom.Matsuda Seiko
“Bloom like a rose, fall like a cherry blossom” is a song written and composed by YOSHIKI of X JAPAN.
It was used as the theme song for the drama “Seisei Suru Hodo, Aishiteru.” It was also performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, so many of you may already know it.
This is a gently mature ballad that evokes scenes of clinging to the joy of meeting at night, and crying in the morning at the reality of being alone.

AccompliceSuneo Heā
Suneo Hair’s “Accomplice” is a striking song about the deep love and inner turmoil of a man and woman who resolve to run away together to the ends of the moon.
It conveys both resignation and a strong bond as they accept that they are accomplices.
Released on October 29, 2008, and highly regarded on the charts, the track pairs a tender melody with lyrics that resonate with anyone experiencing a sorrowful love.
As you listen, even though you know in your head that there’s no going back, an irrepressible longing for that person wells up.
Why not let this song, which stays close to your heart, carry your thoughts to an unattainable love?
Love SpiritsChatmonchy
Chatmonchy’s “Renai Spirits” is their second single, released in 2006.
Although it’s an early work, it isn’t a straightforward love song or a sad breakup song; it portrays someone who shows one-sided affection, trying to steal away a person who’s already in a relationship.
In the real world, that kind of thing can lead to drama later, so I think many people, no matter how much they like someone, give up once they realize that person already has a partner.
But the protagonist of this song has a darker side, seeming to continually spill over with a kind of madness, wanting the person to look only at her.
Love is allSEX MACHINEGUNS
A track from the album “Barbecue★Michael.” It opens with a striking phrase.
The lover’s confession and the chant-like chorus elevate the entire song.
The lover cheated, but said the protagonist is the one they love most.
It’s a bit hard to trust, but the protagonist is so confused that they don’t seem to have the bandwidth to think about that.
