After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

There are many different styles of unrequited love songs, but I’ve put together a selection of “ballad-style unrequited love songs” that I especially recommend to those who love gentle, heartfelt romance tracks.

Some are about love that will never come true, and others are lingering-love songs about still having feelings after a breakup.

Every song hits you right in the heart, so please give them a listen.

Ballad-style unrequited love songs are also perfect for when you just want to cry.

I hope you find one song on this list that stays close to your feelings.

Continuing to have unwavering feelings for someone may seem simple, but it can be painful and even agonizing.

These lyrics capture the bittersweet emotions of a woman.

There are times when you want to lean on someone, and times when you feel like screaming out your pain.

You can really feel the sorrow of unrequited love.

Mirei Touyama “If There Were Another Goodbye” Lyric Video

If there’s a “see you” Mirei Toyama

This is a bittersweet breakup song that gently wraps feelings of regret and gratitude toward a loved one in a clear, translucent voice.

Released by Mirei Toyama in August 2021, it portrays the struggle with the pain of parting while trying to find gratitude for a “once-in-a-lifetime happiness.” The hesitation over when to bring up the breakup, and the strength to be the one to finally say “thank you,” are also compelling.

As a track from the album “still,” this cover of a original song by Sorari Sawada offers quiet solace to those who must end a relationship or are suffering through a love they need to let go of.
