Unrequited love songs recommended for college students: classic and popular Japanese tracks

Goodbye, goodbyeTakenaka Eri

Eri Takenaka “Sayonara Sayonara arranged by Masataka Matsutoya”

There are times when it’s really hard to give up, even after being rejected.

You can even go from being mutually in love back to one-sided feelings.

“Sayonara Sayonara,” released in 2006 by singer-songwriter Eri Takenaka, portrays the feelings of a protagonist who keeps loving wholeheartedly despite being dumped.

The way the partner’s heart drifts away and the protagonist’s memories of happier days come through so vividly that you can’t help but relate.

If you just can’t give up, I think it’s okay to keep loving them until you can finally let go.

In the end, it’s a song that helps you snap out of it a little and face forward.

Tsubasa

I think it’s truly a song for college students.

It’s a very bittersweet song about moving to Tokyo to chase your dreams and, even so, singing about the feelings you have for your old friends.

Yet somehow, when you listen to it, it warms your heart.

Since it’s about both people pursuing their dreams, I think it’s a perfect fit for college students with a bright future ahead of them.
