I like you!Chou Tokimeki♡Sendenbu
“Suki!” has gone super-viral on TikTok.
If you use TikTok regularly, you’ve probably heard it at least once.
It’s a track by the idol group Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu.
Repeating the phrase in the title, the song straightforwardly expresses honest feelings.
As a crush-themed song that focuses on the emotion of liking someone, listeners with real-life crushes can easily relate.
There’s also a version called “Suki! ~Cho ver~,” so it’s fun to compare the two.
Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
This is a song by AKB48 called “Koisuru Fortune Cookie.” Instead of overthinking things, it carries a vibe of “let’s just fall in love” and “let’s live life more joyfully.” The rhythm has a disco feel, and listening to it might make you realize that love you’ve been overcomplicating could actually be easier than you thought.
It’s a track that gives a push to those who want to fall in love but can’t take that first step.
Plumeria ~Flower Song~Aqua Timez
This song, a classic from Aqua Timez, gently embraces the hearts of those in love.
With the plumeria’s language of flowers—“Thank you for finding me”—as its catchphrase, it portrays the changes that encounters bring.
Released in July 2009, it drew attention as the theme song for the film Gokusen THE MOVIE.
It peaked at No.
7 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and resonated with many listeners.
The melody and lyrics, which hint at the beginning of a new romance, tenderly wrap feelings for someone special and the ache of being apart.
It’s a recommended track not only for those in love, but for anyone who holds someone dear.
catDISH//
It’s a love song told from the perspective of a man who still has lingering feelings for a romance he let go.
Released in 2020, “Neko” became a massive hit and is now one of DISH//’s signature tracks.
It’s also well known for being written and composed by the singer-songwriter Aimyon.
While some romances make you happy just by thinking of the person you love, there are also loves like the one in this song—where thinking of that person brings waves of regret and an “I want to see you” so strong it makes you want to cry.
It’s recommended for times when love feels painful.

Love without a reasonDISH//
DISH//, who also made waves with “Neko,” written and composed by Aimyon.
This “Reasonless Love” is a love song that fills you with a tenderness that could bring you to tears.
What you once thought was love changes completely when you meet the person you truly like—you realize it was something else entirely.
The protagonist’s words—saying that without meeting her, he would never have understood what true love is—really hit home.
As the song suggests, perhaps love is simply the pure desire to be by someone’s side for no particular reason.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to while thinking of the person you love.
LOVE LOVE LOVEDREAMS COME TRUE
When it comes to DREAMS COME TRUE’s love songs that became a massive hit, it has to be “LOVE LOVE LOVE,” which sold about 2.5 million copies.
Released as a single in 1995, it was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Aishiteiru to Itte Kure” (Say You Love Me).
Despite its simple and concise lyrics, it conveys the feelings toward a loved one and the heartache of not being able to express those feelings well.
It’s a classic that has been covered by many artists, including Hideaki Tokunaga and Keisuke Kuwata, so be sure to give it a listen!
