[Adultery Song] A forbidden song about an affair that sings of an impossible love

You＆MeMiura Daichi

[Audio] Daichi Miura – You & Me

A wistful R&B number that likens a fleeting relationship between two people to a shooting star that slips away into the night sky.

It’s a song by Daichi Miura, a multi-talented performer active as a singer, dancer, and composer, included on his second album “Who’s The Man,” released in 2009.

The mature, laid-back groove pairs perfectly with Miura’s sweet vocals, making it irresistibly captivating—yet the emotions reflected in the lyrics are heartbreaking.

Does it bring to mind someone special for you?

You let me do as I please, and yet…arekunn

You’re the one who let me fall for you / Arekun [Official Music Video]

A song that resonates with the anger toward someone who only reaches out when it suits them, and the aching feeling of not being able to forget them.

In contrast to its melodic, gentle sound, the lyrics are striking for their candid, down-to-earth emotions.

Released in September 2020 and gaining buzz mainly on social media, the track is also included on Are-kun’s album “Breath.” It features the soft timbre of an acoustic guitar and an emotionally rich arrangement.

If you’re struggling with a romantic relationship, sensing your partner’s feelings drifting away but not wanting to admit it, or have been hurt by someone’s misleading behavior, you’ll likely find this deeply relatable.

The lyrics, woven in a calm, narrative tone, let the frustration of emotions that cannot be conveyed seep through.

The protagonist’s inability to accept reality is further highlighted by the softly tinted sound.

Released by iri in November 2020, the track is included on the album “Sparkle.” When you’re troubled by a love you can’t tell anyone about, this song will stay close to those feelings and gently resonate with the “words” hidden deep in your heart.

It’s a number that conveys the emotion of wanting to cut ties yet being unable to forget.

Gou Takemori | Human Misstep - human error - MUSIC VIDEO

Takenawa from the comedy duo Cunning, singer-songwriter Megumi Mori, and Calmera’s Goushi Nishizaki form an unconventional trio called Takemori Gou.

Their song “Ningen Shissaku – human error -” was released digitally in June 2023 as their debut single.

The lyrics, which you could straightforwardly call a song about an affair, convey the pain of loving Megumi Mori yet being unable to see her, sung from a woman’s perspective, while Takenawa responds as if replying to that woman’s feelings—stuffed with the kind of frank excuses you often see in dramas.

Listening from start to finish feels like peeking into a condensed slice of someone’s life.
