This song portrays a bittersweet love, and it sounds even cooler when sung by a woman.

The lyrics express the pain of unrequited love and the frustration of feelings that don’t reach the other person, and when performed by a female singer, they reveal a new kind of charm.

Released in June 2013, the track was featured in a 2019 commercial for Kirin Brewery’s Tanrei Green Label, bringing it back into the spotlight.

Unrequited lovemiwa

miwa 'Unrequited Love'

Miwa, whose songs often vividly express and resonate with women’s inner feelings, is especially popular among women of her generation.

While she’s widely known for upbeat, bright, and powerful tracks, her song “Kataomoi” (Unrequited Love) is a ballad overflowing with poignant emotion.

As the title suggests, it’s a song that hits hard for anyone experiencing unrequited love—so much so that it can feel painfully overwhelming.

How about singing this song at karaoke when the person you have a crush on is there? It might be a way to show just how much you think about them, and hopefully that feeling will come through.

Aimyon – Naked Heart [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

A gentle ballad by Aimyon, a female singer-songwriter who skyrocketed to fame in the late 2010s and has now become a staple in the Japanese music scene.

Many people find ballads hard to sing, but because the tempo is slower, you can check the rhythm as you go, and it’s easier to stay on pitch—so they’re highly recommended! If he sees you singing this song, which expresses such straightforward and pure feelings, he’s sure to take notice of you.

Chu, diversity.ano

ano “Chu, Diversity.” Music Video

Ano, also known as the vocalist of I’s, is highly recommended—especially her breakout hit, “Chu, Tayōsei.” It’s also known as one of the ending themes for the anime Chainsaw Man.

The lyrics portray the feeling of being head over heels in love, paralleling it with the sensation of being tipsy.

The chorus repeats a catchy phrase, which helps convey a feminine, cute vibe.

At the same time, there are humorous moments, so it doesn’t come off as overly calculated—that’s part of its charm.
