[Cheating Song] A forbidden love that crossed the line — infidelity song

I like indigo.NEW!indigo la End

indigo la End – Love for Indigo

This song portrays the frustration of being stuck in an ambiguous relationship, unable to get closer or farther apart.

The nocturnal atmosphere that seems to conjure vivid scenes—crafted by Enon Kawatani—and the supple band ensemble beautifully color the aching feelings of love.

Released digitally in advance in May 2016 and included the following month as the opening track of indigo la End’s album “Aiiro Music,” it expresses not a dramatic confession or ending, but those inexplicable emotions that linger right beside everyday life.

It may resonate with those harboring a secret love they can’t tell anyone about, or those troubled by an unattainable romance.

SLOTH / “The Line of Cheating” OFFICIAL VIDEO

Rapper SLOTH, who continues to release popular tracks.

“Uwakino Kyoukaisen” (The Line Between Cheating), included on his first album Uncensored, is, as the title suggests, a song about where the boundary of cheating lies.

The premise is that both the man and the woman are cheating, but I feel like this song packs in the truths about infidelity.

Whether “I haven’t done anything… yet” counts as cheating depends on the person.

[MV] UMEILO – High Sky

Umeiro was a four-piece guitar rock band that unfortunately disbanded in 2020.

Their song “Takairo” is an up-tempo yet bittersweet track.

The story follows a boy who learns that the girl he liked has a new boyfriend.

While he asks, “Do you really love that guy?”, deep down he realizes he was the one being toyed with.

Even so, he can’t forget her—perhaps because, somewhere inside, he still believes he might be the one she chooses.

I became someone else’s girlfriend.wacci

wacci “I Became Someone Else’s Girlfriend” Music Video

A track with a title that makes you want to quip, “What kind of declaration is that?!” It was first released as a digital-only single for four months, then included on the album Ultramarine Refrain.

Even as you think, “What kind of declaration is that, really,” tracing the lyrics gives the impression that she might still have lingering feelings for her current boyfriend.

In front of her new guy, she seems to be stretching herself a bit, and it sounds like it’s a little tough on her.

Before it gets too hard and she ends up trying to go back to where she started, she tells him to find someone new too…

It may come off as selfish, but it’s a song that leaves you with a touch of bittersweetness.

Chanmina – Call (Official Music Video)

The person I like is crazy about someone else… then why don’t you just go to them? And go ahead and get cheated on—lyrics overflowing with jealousy.

This is a track by Chanmina, a rapper who always expresses women’s feelings straightforwardly.

It’s included on her second album, “Never Grow Up,” released in 2019.

Just reading the lyrics might make it seem like it’s only about jealousy, but her wistful vocals tell a different story.

Recommended for anyone dealing with heartbreak.

That’s not fair.NEW!Ochiai Wataru

Wataru Ochiai – That's Unfair (Music Video)

Even knowing it won’t be reciprocated, you’re drawn to those gentle hands and that soft voice, unable to walk away…

This song vividly portrays the emotional turmoil of being trapped in such an ambiguous relationship.

Sung by Wataru Ochiai, a singer-songwriter from Osaka, it’s a track overflowing with heartache.

Released in May 2021, it’s known as one of his signature works, alongside albums like “Nonfiction,” where he has expressed a down-to-earth view of love.

The weakness and jealousy of clinging to someone even while realizing you’re being treated as a convenient option come through raw and real over an acoustic sound.

A ballad for anyone who can’t break free from a painful, forbidden love they want to end but can’t.

I didn’t want to know, if it meant losing it.atarayo

Atarayo – “I Didn’t Want to Know, If It Meant Losing You” (Music Video)

A song woven from faint stirrings of love and inner conflict, steeped in poignant sorrow.

Even as the narrator senses their beloved’s lies, fear of loss makes them avert their eyes from the truth—a feeling rendered in a clear, translucent voice.

The protagonist, who doubts themselves precisely because their love is so pure, is sure to resonate with many listeners.

Released in January 2022, the track is included on the album “In the Polar Night, the Moon Remains Silent.” It was created in collaboration with “Junwaidan,” a project that collects personal stories related to sexuality.

It is a piece that will deeply move those nursing heartbreak or struggling with complicated relationships.
