Songs about falling for celebrities. Love songs you’ll want to hear when you’re seriously smitten (41–50)
dearestKOH+
KOH+ is the duo of Masaharu Fukuyama and Kou Shibasaki, who are active not only as actors but also as singers.
Their song “Saiai” was the theme song for the film “The Devotion of Suspect X,” in which both of them appeared.
It conveys the feeling of wanting to stay close to someone, even while knowing your hopes may never be fulfilled, yet still expecting something deep down.
It’s a bittersweet, heartbreaking love song where the heart wavers between “It’s okay if I only love you in my heart” and “I want you to look only at me.”
Sleepless nights are because of you.MISIA
If you’re suffering from an unrequited love, there are surely many nights when you drift off thinking, “I just want to see him, even if only in my dreams…” One song that embraces those feelings is one of MISIA’s signature tracks, “Nemurenu Yoru wa Kimi no Sei” (“Sleepless Nights Are Because of You”).
At night—especially after you crawl into bed—it’s common in love to overthink and feel your emotions for that special someone swell.
All the more so when it’s a love that can’t move forward.
This is a number that makes you feel as though you just might meet them in your dreams.
Love and GinMrs. GREEN APPLE
This is a song included on the single “Speaking,” released in 2015 by the rock band Mrs.
GREEN APPLE.
While its guitar-rock sound—characteristically enriched with piano and synth—feels exhilarating, the lyrics are filled with the frustration of an unattainable love.
Many listeners may relate to the feelings of a man who, despite knowing his love will never be fulfilled, still can’t erase it from his heart.
The message “If my feelings reached you, I wouldn’t have to sing this song” is especially moving.
AyaMy Hair is Bad
A song that resonates with the feeling of “falling in love with someone you shouldn’t” is Aya.
It’s by the rock band My Hair is Bad, known for delivering passionate band sounds, and was included on their 2022 album angels.
The warm sound that unfolds at a slow tempo is striking.
The bittersweet lyrics evoke conversations and scenery between two people, making your heart swell.
It’s a heart-tugging love song that portrays an unrequited crush.
Please lend an ear to the vocals, filled with kindness and compassion for the one they love.
A love with you from nine steps apartSHIROSE from WHITE JAM
“A Love Nine Years Apart” is a song whose lyrics are taken directly from a message SHIROSE sent to his partner.
It’s a heartbreak song: the other person already has a new lover, yet deep down he still has feelings…
It portrays that kind of unrequited love.
I think this situation is common in relationships, but it’s truly painful, isn’t it? I hope they can find the strength to move on toward their next love.
Fake loveSTUPID GUYS
With a melody and lyrics that sink deep into the heart, this song portrays the aching feeling of drowning in a false love.
The protagonist’s struggle to find true love pierces listeners to the core.
Included on the album “False Love,” released in July 2019, this track became a major hit with over 4 million views on YouTube.
Packed with the appeal of STUPID GUYS, it’s a song that stands by those troubled by complex romantic emotions.
If you listen to it while suffering from heartbreak or unrequited love, you’ll find both empathy and comfort.
Unreachable love songTani Yuuki
This is a masterpiece by Tani Yuuki, whose poignant vocals and melody seep into the heart.
It depicts the painfully real feelings that arise when you realize you don’t exist in the heart of the one you love.
The more you see them, the more you fall for them—yet you come to understand you’re not special to them.
Aren’t there many people who harbor such unrequited feelings? It’s a song I’d love those who, in sudden moments, recall memories that make their chest tighten to listen to.
Released in December 2021.
It’s recommended for times when you can’t recover from the shock of a heartbreak or when you feel like crying alone.
It will surely stay close to your heart.
