centimeterthe peggies
It’s a song by the three-piece girls’ band the peggies that portrays the state of unrequited love where you can’t find confidence in yourself and end up holding back right at the moment you think, “If I could just muster a little more courage.” Written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime Rent-A-Girlfriend, it has earned strong support from fans of the original work as “the perfect song that closely matches the story.” That fear of getting too close precisely because you’re head over heels may be something unique to unrequited love.
