A love song that captures the frustrating feeling of not being able to tell someone special how you feel face to face.

It’s a track by singer-songwriter Tani Yuuki, released digitally in December 2021 and later included on the acclaimed album “Memories.” Written during his high school days, the song’s lyrics are striking for how they try to express the deepest affection without using the word “love,” out of shyness.

That clumsy yet sincere sentiment has resonated with many.

When words fall short and you can’t convey your feelings, why not give it a listen?

Created solely through exchanges on social media, the track was born from a fateful encounter where they met in person for the first time at the recording session.

It vividly portrays the frustrating emotions of two people who have feelings for each other but can’t quite express them honestly.

It’s recommended not only for those experiencing unrequited love, but also for anyone looking to start a new romance with the arrival of spring.
