Kana Nishino has produced numerous hit love songs.

Like her signature song “Torisetsu,” “Te o Tsunagu Riyū” is a track that sings about a woman’s feelings in love.

The lyrics charmingly and exquisitely capture a blend of cuteness and bittersweetness that tugs at the heartstrings of not only women but men as well.

Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu / “Suki! ~Cho ver~” Live Edit ver

If you want to express your love straightforwardly, I recommend “Suki! ~Chou ver.~” by Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu.

This song is a version of “Suki!” from their first album Tokiotome, re-arranged and re-recorded.

It started gaining popularity on TikTok around 2021, so it should be quite well-known among men too.

Why not break the ice by asking, “Do you know this song?”

Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu / “The Cutest at the Highest Level!” Music Video

A song that captures the feelings of a girl who starts working on herself after heartbreak, expressed through a poppy melody and catchy lyrics.

It brims with everything that makes Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu so appealing.

Included on the album Tokimeku Koi to Seishun, released in January 2024, it became a huge hit on TikTok.

Recommended for women who’ve experienced the pain of love.

Sing it at karaoke and you’re sure to win men’s hearts.

With its theme of a “maiden’s counterattack,” the upbeat lyrics will gently give listeners a push forward.

around two o’clockaiko

With Lyrics: Around Two O'Clock – aiko (included on the best album “Matome I”) piano and vocal cover.

When it comes to love songs, many people immediately think of aiko.

This is a song quintessentially her, capturing the pain and the butterflies of love.

It’s popular for its unique perspective: the protagonist has been cheated on, yet the song explores what happens if she tries to sing about it as positively as possible.

If someone felt about me the way the lyrics describe, I’d find them so dear that I could never cheat.

It’s a song that portrays a woman’s heart—bright yet anguished, and pure.

AitaiKato Miria

Miliyah Kato - “Aitai”

This is a song by Miliyah Kato, an artist who enjoys strong support especially among women in their late twenties and up.

Her lyrics often use straightforward expressions, so many of her songs and phrases stick in your mind after just one listen.

This song, too, is filled with the feelings of a woman in love and the bittersweet pain of not being noticed by the person she likes.

Lonely HeartsKato Miria

Miliyah Kato 'Lonely Hearts'

When times are tough, I imagine many women listen to the song “Lonely Hearts.” In its music video, women hurt for various reasons appear, and it’s a song that deeply resonates with women who feel emptiness, loneliness, and an inescapable sense of isolation.

I want the person I love to love me back; I don’t want anyone to hurt me; I want my existence to be acknowledged.

It’s filled with such heartrending feelings, and just listening makes your chest tighten.

It’s a song I hope women going through hard times will listen to.
