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

The Final GoodbyeJY

JY “The Last Goodbye” - Short Ver. -

Known as a song people listen to when they’re having an affair, “Saigo no Sayonara” was released in 2016 as the debut single of JY, the alternate stage name of Jiyoung, a former member of KARA.

It was also used as the theme song for the drama Higanbana: Keishicho Sousa Nana-ka.

It’s filled with the bittersweet feelings of a woman who has decided not to see someone anymore, yet can’t truly forget him—but now, they both need to think about their own happiness.

It’s a song I especially recommend as healing music for women who stepped back because the other person was married.

HOWEVERGLAY

GLAY / HOWEVER

GLAY’s “HOWEVER” is a masterpiece that carries the heartfelt sentiments of TAKURO, who wrote both the lyrics and music, singing of themes of yearning and renewal.

While lamenting how late the two lovers met, it conveys a strength and tenderness that makes them treasure the present all the more—moving the listener deeply.

Released in November 2000, it also drew attention as the ending theme for the drama “Ryakudatsuai: Abunai Onna” (“Stolen Love: Dangerous Woman”).

It’s a song that gently stays by the side of those who can’t move forward while holding deep feelings for someone they love.

If you’re suffering in love, it will surely soothe your heart.

Through countless nightsCHEMISTRY

CHEMISTRY Through countless nights

It’s a CHEMISTRY track that puts an aching poignancy front and center, depicting someone who keeps singing feelings that will never reach their destination.

The distinctive, floating sound seems to express a sense of emotional instability.

With its simple arrangement—wavering organ tones and vocals—the message embedded in the singing and lyrics feels all the more emphasized.

It powerfully conveys the pain of thinking about a beloved person who has gone away, and of piling up unreachable wishes within oneself.

Koresawa “Right Ear Piercing” [Music Video]

A heartrending love song about an affair that portrays a piercing, hidden longing beneath the small joys of everyday life.

Included on the March 2021 album “Pure Love Closet,” it became a talked-about track as the CM tie-in song for the audio streaming app stand.fm—one of Koresawa’s finest.

Its light pop sound is marked by a melody that somehow carries a touch of sadness.

Carefully tracing the delicate emotions of a woman who cannot leave, even while knowing where love is headed, this song reaches out to everyone struggling with complicated relationships.

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.
