You let me do as I please, and yet…arekunn
A signature song by Are-kun that captures the sweetness and ache of unrequited love.
It builds on the growing feelings for someone you like, yet lays bare the pain of those feelings not being returned—a masterpiece that resonates with many.
The lyrics vividly convey the turmoil of being swayed by the other person’s shifting attitude.
Released in September 2020, it has surpassed 10 million views on YouTube, and was later included on the major-label debut album “Kokyuu” released in September 2021.
Anyone who’s experienced a crush or heartbreak will find themselves relating to it.
If you’re struggling with love, why not listen to this song and sort out your feelings?
We’re officially a couple!HoneyWorks feat. Hattori Juri (CV: Sakura Ayane)
It’s a song that straightforwardly expresses the wish to catch the attention of someone you’re interested in and the hope that they’ll come to like you.
The way the narrator wonders what actions might bring them closer to a romantic relationship is quite endearing.
It portrays unadorned feelings—like the anxiety of not knowing the other person’s tastes and the desire, if possible, for the other person to speak first.
Another highlight is watching the two gradually draw closer and seeing their relationship change as the song progresses.
Because you are hereUru
A gem-like ballad by Uru that sings of a deep bond with a loved one, carried on a beautiful and fleeting melody.
Her warm voice, like a letter delivered across time, gently accompanies those standing at a crossroads in life.
Even while burdened by regrets about the past and anxieties about the future, it stirs heartfelt gratitude for the presence that has continued to support us with unchanging love.
Released in February 2020, the song was written as the theme for the TV drama “Theseus no Fune” (Theseus’ Ship) and is included on the album Orion Blue.
When you wish to reflect on the irreplaceable bonds you share with family, a partner, or a best friend, this song will resonate deeply in your heart.
By your side.riria.
Singer-songwriter Riria, who made her major debut under VIA—a label born with a focus on digital distribution.
Her single “By Your Side,” released digitally on July 6, 2023, was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime My Happy Marriage.
The lyrics, which depict an encounter powerful enough to change one’s values, are likely to resonate with anyone who has ever been in love.
It’s a pop yet sentimental number, where a cute singing voice and delicate piano create a moving contrast.
Future Projection IIDREAMS COME TRUE
Speaking of the group commonly known as DoriCam, this song is a classic! I can’t help but think every happy couple in love in Japan listens to it (lol).
No matter how many times I hear it, or how many years I keep listening, it always feels fresh.
It must be because of the straightforward lyrics and vocals, and Yoshida Miwa’s endlessly soaring voice.
And it takes you back to the very origins of what it feels like to be in love! I’m sure it’s the one and only masterpiece we’ll still be able to listen to together, smiling at each other, even when we’re an old couple!
Having someone you likeJY
Sukinahito ga Iru Koto (Having Someone You Love) by JY, a former member of the Korean girl group KARA who is active as an actress and singer.
This song is JY’s second single, released in 2016, and it was the theme song for the drama of the same name starring Mirei Kiritani.
As the title suggests, it conveys the feelings that come from having someone you love—how things you might have viewed negatively before can be seen in a positive light because you’re in love.
Seesaw Game: A Song of Brave LoveMr.Children
Mr.
Children, the rock band that needs no introduction in Japan, is definitely an artist you want to listen to when you’re in love.
Among their songs, “Seesaw Game ~Brave Love Song~” is a refreshing track I’d recommend to both men and women as an anthem for love.
In particular, the lyrics that convey “no matter how many painful experiences you’ve had in love, you end up falling in love again” deliver an uplifting message that’s perfect when you’re heartbroken—absolutely wonderful! It also fits those times when you’re struggling with a tough crush, so be sure to listen to it in all kinds of situations.
