When the wind blows, loveChatto Monchī
I can picture a girl who never cared about how others saw her, but who’s now surprised at how she’s changing—paying attention to trends and checking the mirror for the sake of someone she likes.
The lyrics, with their cute depiction of emotions bursting out and feet that can’t stop running, are charming.
With its high key and lively vocals, it really gives off a youthful vibe.
Planet of Love ‘You’Tomioka Ai
A February 2024 number from Ai Tomioka that overlays a fantastical cosmic image with the bittersweetness of love.
It expresses the exhilaration and anxiety of romance by likening them to UFO sightings and planetary gravity.
With its translucent vocals and a romantic, fleeting worldview, the song leaves a strong impression.
On J-WAVE, they suggest listening on Valentine’s Day—the release date—while aligning your feelings of love with the winter night sky.
Depicting emotions anyone in love can relate to, this piece will make you want to look up at the sky while thinking of someone special.
planetariumOtsuka Ai
Ai Otsuka’s song portrays the bittersweet feeling of continuing an unrequited love for someone you can no longer see.
It was used as the image song for the drama Hana Yori Dango starring Mao Inoue.
The days spent with the person you like are filled with an irreplaceable flutter and joy.
But because you’re not actually together, you end up parting in the end.
Even after growing apart, you find yourself reminiscing about the happy times you shared—something that often happens when you’re in unrequited love.
The song captures the delicate, uniquely feminine emotional nuances that fill the loneliness of one-sided love.
SparkleIkuta Rira
Following Ikuta Lira’s Romance no Yakusoku, which was used as the theme song for ABEMA’s dating show Today, I Fell in Love, this is a newly written track for the new series.
It was created with the wish to craft a song where a beautiful, pure unrequited love is rewarded, so it’s recommended even for those who have fallen for someone they can’t have.
The lyrics, which liken love to shooting stars in the night sky, are wonderful, aren’t they? That single sparkling moment is fleeting yet beautiful—and precious.
This is a supportive song that gently stays close to those feelings of loving someone.
Do Re Mi So La Si DoHinatazaka46
If you’re looking for a refreshing unrequited-love song, I recommend Hinatazaka46’s “Doremisolasido”! With lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto, it was released in 2019 as their second single.
The part that literally sings the musical scale appears multiple times, so you’ll find yourself humming along before you know it.
It’s the perfect track for those moments when you want to cherish that sweet-and-sour, heart-fluttering feeling of just realizing your own romantic feelings.

It’s a song about love, wrapped in the sweet scent of melon.

The lyric “Among all the melons in the world, only you are special” is especially memorable, and it makes that feeling of being in love bubble up.
