balconyyangusukinii
This song delicately portrays the subtle nuances of the heart, quietly singing of a woman’s emotions as she sways between love and disappointment.
The act of smoking on the balcony is repeatedly depicted as a symbol of love and feeling, expressing emotions that fade away as fleetingly as smoke.
Featuring Kanano Senritsu as a guest and released in February 2024, the track captivates listeners with the exquisite match between Young Skinny’s delicate production and Senritsu’s voice.
It’s a song that gently accompanies those troubled by love or harboring complex feelings while deeply loving someone.
IenaiSoala
This song is filled with a sweet, heartrending sense of love.
It delicately portrays the feelings of a woman struggling with the conflict of being unable to express her emotions—of being unable to say what she wants to say.
Soala’s gentle vocals further highlight the melancholy.
Released in August 2022 and included on the album “LOVE,” this track resonates deeply with those troubled by one-sided love.
It’s a song I especially recommend to anyone who can’t be honest with the person they like and feels the frustration of not being able to convey their feelings well.
Giji KoiHamano Haruki
A heartrending song by Haruki Hamano that portrays the turmoil of a pseudo-relationship.
The heartfelt feelings of a girl who can’t become the one and only are captured in vivid, realistic lyrics.
Concrete depictions featuring everyday words like “department store cosmetics” add depth to the emotion.
Released in November 2023, the track resonated with many women, racking up 10 million views on TikTok within a week.
This piece speaks for women struggling with love, and is best listened to alone in your room.
It will surely help you look ahead and think, “I’ll try my best again tomorrow.”
Supporting Actress Syndrome 2back number
When you think of back number, you think of love songs, but this track is a love song that hits you straight with the sorrowful feelings of a woman’s perspective—the raw emotions of a girl who’s been the convenient one.
The song was included as a B-side to “Christmas Song,” released in 2015.
Many listeners may relate to the lyrics, which are packed with the resentment and pent-up, remarkably composed feelings of a woman deciding that today is the day she’s finally cutting ties with her boyfriend.

A song that delicately portrays the feelings of a woman who, even while realizing she’s being treated as a convenient option, continues to stay by the side of the person she loves.
Vaundy’s heartrending vocals evoke emotions that tighten the chest.

Say goodbye to the love I clung to.matsuri
Sung by Matsuri, a singer-songwriter who has gained popularity—especially among young listeners—for her wistful vocals and piercing lyrics, this song depicts a breakaway from a dependent relationship.
It weaves in facing oneself and the courage to take a new step forward.
Released in June 2022, the track resonated with listeners of the same generation and became a hot topic on social media.
While looking back on the past with lines like “I thought this person was the only one for me,” the lyrics also convey a determination to be independent—something many people likely relate to through their own experiences.
It’s a song that stands beside self-described ‘convenient women’ and gently pushes them forward.
a convenient relationshipDomura Riu
Riu Domura’s “Convenient Relationship” is a song that makes you want to listen just from the title—one I want you to hear if you’ve ever felt like you’re the “convenient girl.” The A melody is from the man’s perspective, the B melody from the woman’s, and the chorus skillfully captures their back-and-forth.
Neither side gets overly emotional; you can sense a matter-of-fact exchange, yet the woman’s affection and helpless feelings come through powerfully—many listeners will surely relate.
The man’s “unfairness” stands out, but it also makes you feel that neither of them is entirely wrong.
