So it wasn’t me, huh.riria.
For those who are hurting from the mixed signals of someone they like, the song I want you to listen to is “It Wasn’t Me After All.” Released in 2021 by singer-songwriter Riria, who rose to prominence after her acoustic performances on TikTok, it pairs lyrics that capture the bittersweet feeling of “it hurts to be treated kindly” with mellow guitar tones.
Her emotional vocals, which reveal many shades of feeling, are deeply moving.
It’s a love song packed tightly with honest emotions for the one you love.
If I were to fall in love once moreHiguchi Ai
This is a heart-stirring ballad by Ai Higuchi that beautifully captures the complexities of love.
With a clear, translucent voice, she vividly conveys emotions swaying between ideals and reality.
Released in September 2024, it was chosen as the theme song for ABEMA’s popular show “Sayonara Proposal via Greece.” It’s a perfect track for those struggling with romance or couples considering marriage.
The warm, acoustic guitar-driven arrangement enhances the song’s lyrical world.
“Let this be my last love”—it makes you long for a love that makes you feel that way, doesn’t it?
someone I likeUeno Yūka
It’s a dream team: Hanako Oku, the best at writing heartrending ballads, paired with Yuka Ueno, a top-tier singer of them.
The lyrics focus solely on one point—falling for a friend’s boyfriend.
For some reason, the tears just start flowing naturally.
It’s a song I recommend when you’re reminded of how complicated the human heart can be.
loveOku Hanako
Even when it’s an impossible love because the other person is already taken, you can’t help thinking “why?” and find it hard to accept—that’s what being in love is like.
In the song “Koi,” Okuhanako’s vocals, set against a piano backdrop, sound in unison with those honest feelings of love.
Listening to a song like this makes you wish that every love could be rewarded.
lovelessYamashita Tomohisa
This is a slightly bittersweet song that evokes scenes of regret.
Even with lingering feelings, its mature tone makes it a track you’ll want to listen to when you’re in a calm, reflective mood.
It also has no sudden key changes, so it’s easy for both women and men to sing.
#302Hirai Ken
This song is heart-wrenching.
Ken Hirai’s poignant vocals are a perfect match for this bittersweet track.
I’ve had a similar experience myself, which makes it even more painful for me.
There are no rules about falling in love, but there are rules about how we express our feelings—and following them can be agonizing.
I recommend this song to anyone going through that kind of pain.
It’ll make you cry.
