Midway through the song, her earnest efforts to improve herself for the other person are depicted, resonating deeply with listeners.
It’s a recommended track for those seeking to soothe the pain of heartbreak or to find empathy in the struggle of one-sided love.

For anyone nursing an unrequited crush, this song, “Kizukarenai You ni,” is sure to stir up a poignant ache.
A champion of women in love, aiko included this track on her 2006 album Kanojo.
Told from a woman’s perspective, it’s a heart-wrenching number about a love that won’t come true and the brave face she puts on.
The way the two avoid looking each other in the eye as they talk—hiding their inner turmoil “so it won’t be noticed”—is a moment that makes you go, “Ah, I know that feeling.” It’s quintessential aiko, packing an overwhelming amount of bittersweet emotion into one song.

Aiko’s “Aozora” is a song that captures the feelings of a woman who, after ending a love with a married person, is filled with regret and loneliness.
It carries a gentle warmth that seems to softly embrace those who have put an end to a forbidden love.
The ache of not being able to meet won’t simply disappear, and looking back won’t return you to the time before you met.
Staring at the sky and feeling the hollow left in your heart may be painful, but wouldn’t it be wonderful to live a life where you can think, “Ending the relationship here was never a mistake”?
I like you, but it seems like you don’t really like me.back number

Why not listen to this song and let the feelings you’ve kept tucked away in your heart be set free?
