416Shimizu Shota

Shota Shimizu “416” MV

A bittersweet number that captures the feelings of a man with an unrequited crush.

The moment you fall in love is blissful, but when things don’t go well, the painful moments start to pile up.

In this song, the protagonist is a shy man who lacks confidence and can’t bring himself to confess his feelings to the girl he likes.

The music video shows the two on a date, but she fiddles with her phone and the conversation doesn’t take off; the man, who started with a smile, gradually looks more and more downcast…

It’s a ballad filled with the bittersweet emotions anyone in love has felt at least once.

Many listeners will probably relate.

You Your YoursAdachi Kana

Kana Adachi “You Your Yours” (Special Edit)

This is a song that was chosen as the theme for AbemaTV’s “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita” Seasons 12 and 13.

It’s included on Kana Adachi’s 2018 album “Yeah! Yeah!”.

The music video also drew attention for featuring the “Daita-Pi” couple, who actually appeared on the show.

It portrays the feelings of a girl with a crush in a very down-to-earth way, and if you’re currently crushing on someone, you might be surprised by how closely the lyrics mirror your own feelings.

Even though you’re confident you care more than anyone, in reality you can’t even bring yourself to say hello.

Perfect for anyone in the middle of a one-sided love.

I want to be your lover.Abe Mao

Mao Abe – I Want to Be Your Lover [Official Music Video]

Abe Mao’s “I Want to Be Your Girlfriend” conveys that feeling so strongly right from the title.

It’s incredibly straightforward, isn’t it? This song was released in 2009 as her second single.

When you’re in love, there are so many fun things, but you also start to worry about all the little details, right? The song is packed with those relatable feelings of being in love—the urge to ask this and that, the “If we were together, I’d want to do this!” kind of daydreams—and it’s a track I want people with a crush to listen to.

loveback number

back number – Love (Short ver.)

Released in 2012 as the fourth single, it was selected as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Music-ru TV” in March 2012.

The lyrics, which express the feelings of a student thinking about someone they love, really hit home.

I think many people will find parts they can relate to.

Time goes byEvery Little Thing

Time goes by – Every Little Thing (Full)

It’s such a heartrending song that it brings me to tears.

The slender, beautiful voice is captivating, and I can’t hold back my tears before I even make it to the end.

Even though we end up arguing all the time when we’re together for a long stretch, this song makes me realize that as time passes and we don’t turn our backs on each other, everything can turn into good memories.

HOME MADE Kazoku 'The Things You Gave Me'

A song that tells you that even if you can’t see the one you loved, there are still things they left behind.

Memories of a breakup aren’t only sad—there are plenty of happy ones too—so we shouldn’t forget to feel grateful.

It’s a song I want you to listen to when you’ve started to calm down a little after a breakup.

Perfume of loveglobe

globe / Perfume of love

A distinctly ’90s J-pop track that’s a bit of a cool love song.

It’s a great pick when you’re getting tired of the same old love songs.

The vocal performance is outstanding and draws you in, and with some rap sections, you get a variety of vibes.
