His seventh digital-only single, “Stray Hearts,” was written as the theme song for the TV drama “Even If You Don’t Do It.” The lyrics, which portray the feelings of being unable to part despite knowing it’s a forbidden love, tighten the chest with anxiety about an ending that may come someday.
It’s a passionate rock tune distinguished by a rock sound that puts piano and strings at the forefront.
The Talent for LoveKawamoto Makoto

Ai no Sainou (The Talent for Love) is Makoto Kawamoto’s debut single, released in 1996, with composition by Yasuyuki Okamura.
The song expresses the feelings of a woman who revels not in suffering or pain, but in the thrill of a forbidden love.
Just listening to it makes your heart race.
wordsAimer

A song that captures the feelings of a woman suffering from parting with her beloved.
Written by singer-songwriter Mao Abe, also known for the classic “I Want to Be Your Girlfriend,” the track is titled “words.” It was included on Aimer’s 2013 album After Dark.
The dark, tense melody, which seems to express a woman’s profound sorrow, perfectly accompanies those inescapable emotions—like the moment you’re betrayed by the words “You’re the only one,” or when you wonder, “Why can’t I hate you even though you’re so cruel?”
Fake loveSTUPID GUYS

A melodious love song by STUPID GUYS that portrays the ache of a bittersweet romance.
The complex emotions of a man and woman wavering between a physical relationship and pure affection are expressed through mellow vocals and rap, weaving delicate words to depict a heart drowning in desire while harboring self-denial.
Included on the album “False Love,” released in July 2019, the track has garnered over 4 million views on YouTube.
It’s a song that resonates with those troubled by a love they can’t tell anyone about, or suffering from a love built on pretense.
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?
