AzaleaYonezu Kenshi

A gem-like ballad by Kenshi Yonezu, written as the theme song for the Netflix drama “The Sequel to Goodbye.” Delicately portraying the sorrow of losing someone dear and the unwavering love that remains, the piece blends crystalline piano tones with electronic sounds into a beautiful track.
Released digitally in November 2024, it expresses the drama’s central theme of “the inheritance of memory”—starring Kasumi Arimura and Kentaro Sakaguchi—through striking metaphors such as a flower grown from a cutting and photographs one cannot throw away.
It is a song that gently stays close to the hearts of those who have lost a loved one or carry deep feelings for someone important.
aloeFunatsu Mahiro

A heart-stirring love song that likens bittersweet feelings to aloe.
Masato Funatsu’s clear, transparent vocals gently envelop a love that feels both near and far.
The lyrics, which resonate with those struggling with emotional distance, and the warm melody sink deep into the heart.
Released in January 2025, the song was also chosen as the ending theme for the TBS drama “By the Hearth at Ms.
Alice’s House.” It’s recommended not only for anyone troubled by love, but also for those who want to reevaluate their relationships with someone important.
Feeling in loveNishino Kana

A love song by Kana Nishino that portrays the struggles of two people who are more than friends but not quite lovers.
The secret feelings harbored for a longtime best friend are expressed with heartrending delicacy.
Even when the mind has given up, the heart can’t help but hold onto a faint hope—an emotion anyone who’s experienced unrequited love can relate to.
Featured on the album “with LOVE,” this track was released in November 2014 and captured the hearts of many listeners.
It’s a must-listen for anyone wavering between friendship and romance.
Just… I want to see you.EXILE

I think it’s a masterpiece: a bittersweet song about longing for a lover you can no longer meet, perfectly matched by the slightly husky vocals.
The quiet mood at the beginning is also wonderful.
When I listen to this song, I remember someone from the past who loved me so passionately and who liked EXILE.
Like when we first metEvery Little Thing

It’s a song that gently embraces the fresh feelings of two people in love.
From the lyrics, you can feel the sweet-and-sour, heart-fluttering emotions of lovers who have just met.
The repeated line “My Love Is Forever” carries a vow of unchanging, eternal love.
Released in April 1998, the track was also a big hit as the commercial song for Morinaga’s ICE BOX.
Paired with a melody that evokes the bittersweetness of summer romance, it became a memorable piece for many listeners.
It’s a song I’d recommend not only to those troubled by love, but also to anyone who wants to renew their feelings for someone special.
AM11:00HY

I’ve been a fan of HY ever since I was confessed to in high school with the words, “I listened to this song while thinking of you,” and he gave me the track.
Our relationship ended when we graduated, but along with the lyrics, “I hope these feelings reach you,” the way we felt back then remains a good memory for both of us.
24/7 LOVEHilcrhyme

A heartfelt song by Hilcrhyme that sings of the bittersweet feelings of someone in love.
It conveys a strong desire to express affection and gratitude to the other person continuously, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The lyrics, which portray a vow of boundless love and the tenderness of staying close to one another, have resonated with many listeners.
Digitally released in June 2024, it drew attention as a work commemorating the 15th anniversary of their major-label debut.
It was also selected as the opening theme for the MBS/TBS drama “Gray Maiden,” winning over drama fans as well.
It’s a heartwarming track you’ll want to listen to during special moments with someone you cherish.
