I love you. ~100 Regrets~Sonar Pocket
Even after we part, I can’t stop thinking about you.
I look at our emails and the scenery we once saw together, now on my own, and I feel how I’m still dragging it out.
Even when I try to forget, I still love you.
This is a message song that sings about those lingering feelings of love.
Sorry for dreamingAKB48 U-21 senbatsu
You know that feeling when your head is completely filled with thoughts of the person you like.
This song, performed by AKB48’s U-21 selection, portrays the bittersweet emotions of unrequited love in a pop style.
Included on the single “Koi Tsumunjatta,” released in July 2024, it was also chosen as the ending theme for the drama “Hoshikuzu Telepathy.” The lyrics are striking for the way the singer apologizes with a “sorry” because their feelings are just too strong.
It’s recommended for anyone who wants to feel the bittersweetness of late-summer love or needs a little courage to confess.
If you ever want to reminisce about the faint romances of your youth, give it a listen.

Crunchy guitar tones, a nicely heavy groove—this is slightly hard-edged girls’ rock.
The vocals are exceptionally strong, stylishly delivering the bittersweet feelings of a girl with confidence.
They may look beautiful and cute, but the sound itself is seriously cool.
Selfish I need youBiSH
Judging from the lyrics and the title, it seems the protagonist has conveyed their feelings to the other person but hasn’t received a clear response yet.
The melancholic melody in a minor key combined with the driving rhythm evokes the vibe of rock from a while back, so many listeners might find it a bit nostalgic.

Amid the roiling roar, Hashimoto’s entwining vocals resonate with deep emotion.
Is it a song about lovers who haven’t been together for very long? Perhaps the protagonist senses that he can’t quite forget a former lover.
It deftly captures the protagonist’s anxiety, delicate feelings toward him, and those subtle, complex emotions.
