Stay friendsPRINCESS PRINCESS
Among Princess Princess, drummer Tomita especially shows exceptional talent for lyrics.
And Okui Kaori sets those words to melodies that really grab you.
The Tomita–Okui Kaori duo is unbeatable.
It made me wonder: there must have been a man in her past who inspired her to write lyrics like this—was he really that wonderful?
Goodbye, my friendSCANDAL
Unusually for SCANDAL, the song starts with an acoustic touch and draws you in gently.
You can really feel the bittersweet emotions of the protagonist who keeps their feelings hidden.
As it gradually shifts into a full band sound partway through and begins to build, it grabs your heart.
Unrequited Love: LinariaSonar Pocket
It expresses, in straightforward lyrics, the poignant feelings unique to unrequited love—the kind that makes you think about the other person before you even realize it.
Sonar Pocket has released many hit love songs, but this track may well be their quintessential song about unrequited love.
loveback number
A beautiful portrayal of youthful unrequited love in a song by back number.
“I want to tell you how I feel before we can’t meet anymore,” “I don’t need any other wishes to come true—just let this love be fulfilled.” These earnest emotions are woven together with a melody that resonates deeply.
Released in March 2012, the track was also used as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Music-Ru TV.” It’s recommended not only for those currently in unrequited love, but also for anyone who wants to reminisce about past romances.
Listen to this song to lift your spirits, and take the leap to confess your feelings!
unrequited lovemiwa
As the title suggests, this song expresses the honest, straightforward feelings of a girl with an unrequited love.
It’s so realistic—like a snapshot taken straight from a lovestruck girl’s diary—that I think many girls can relate to the lyrics.
