Recommended love songs for college students: Japanese love songs you should listen to when a romance begins (91–100)
asking for the moonKANA-BOON
This song starts with an endearing lovers’ quarrel.
The way the two of them try so hard to act grown-up while secretly getting jealous—saying things like, “that girl is cute” or “he’s cool”—is just adorable.
I can’t help thinking it’s a perfect fit for college-age kids.
Baby cruising LovePerfume
This is a double A-side 6th single by the technopop unit Perfume, and it was used as an insert song in the film “Moteki.” It’s a very endearing track that captures the frustration of longing to see someone but being held back by the distance between you.
Although it tends to be overshadowed—partly because the previous single “Polyrhythm” had such a strong impact and partly because this song has a more relaxed tempo—its lyrics delicately portray a sensitive heart, making it a true masterpiece.
together; along with; bothWANIMA
It’s WANIMA’s “Tomoni.” It’s a love song, but it’s upbeat and easy to get into.
When you’re with someone you love, it makes you want to charge forward—ahead and upward—with all your might.
There will be worries and uncertainties, but by respecting each other, you can move forward smoothly together, like a three-legged race.
CHE.R.RYYUI
Released as YUI’s eighth single in 2007, “CHE.R.RY” was featured in a commercial for au’s LISMO service.
This song, which cutely captures the start of a romance, has become a staple love song.
It’s easy for women to sing and has a charming vibe, making it a crowd-pleaser at karaoke—one of YUI’s hit tracks.
Star Lablationkerakera
It’s “Star Lavoration” by Kerakera.
This song was featured in the TV drama “Last Cinderella.” It portrays a girl who is straightforward and endearing precisely because she’s clumsy.
Love is different for everyone.
It conveys that message—something obvious yet important.
LA LA LA Love SongKubota Toshinobu
As the theme song of the drama “Long Vacation,” its intro signals the beginning of love.
Toshi Kubota’s black-music-infused vocals and polished expressiveness leave a strong impression.
It gives the feeling of a long vacation in love.
It’s a wonderful song.
loveHoshino Gen
Gen Hoshino, who is also active as an actor, released “Koi” in 2016.
It was used as the theme song for the drama “We Married as a Job!” (original title: “Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu”) and became popular for its catchy pop melody and the dance sequence known as the “Koi Dance.” It’s a love song that’s perfect for college students—great to sing, and even more fun when everyone dances together.
