It’s a charming song that sweetly captures the bittersweet feelings of a one-sided crush.

It portrays a girl who gets shy in front of the person she likes and can’t quite say how she really feels.

Even as she insists, “It’s not love,” her pounding heart is undeniably cute.

Released in May 2024 by Tensen Tensei Shoujo., this track has also become a fan favorite at live shows.

It’s an uplifting song that cheers on lovestruck girls, so I especially recommend it to anyone currently experiencing a crush.

This song carries a powerful message that transforms the bittersweet feelings of unrequited love into something positive.

Kana Nishino’s clear, expansive vocals and the catchy melody resonate deeply.

The lyrics capture both the honest desire to express feelings to someone you love and the hesitation born from shyness and anxiety, making it highly relatable for many women.

Released in July 2012, the track was also featured in a commercial for Yamazaki Bread’s “Lunch Pack.” It’s a perfect cheer-up song not only for women experiencing unrequited love, but for anyone who wants to find the courage to take a step forward.

She sings over a bouncy pop melody about catching feelings for him on their second date.

Around her crush she goes quiet, just smiling and nodding—and it’s that adorable, relatable flutter every woman in love will understand and adore!

When I realized it, I was in unrequited love.Nogizaka 46

When you have a crush, you sometimes don’t want to get hurt and end up putting a lid on the feelings that are about to overflow.

This is Nogizaka46’s “Kizuitara Kataomoi” (“When I Realized, It Was Unrequited Love”), a song that expresses those emotions just as they are.

The slightly downbeat melody matches the poignant lyrics that straightforwardly depict a mindset of playing it safe.

You can really relate to it when past relationships have left you hurt and you can’t take the next step, or when you’ve fallen for someone who’s already with someone else.

It’s a song that expresses a woman’s feelings: she believes their hearts truly connect, but she’s anxious because he won’t say the two words “I like you.” Since she can’t say it to his face, she hopes to somehow convey her feelings through the song.

There’s a feeling that’s a little different from pure unrequited love, isn’t there? Even when it seems mutual, your feelings for the other person are so strong that you can’t help thinking, “It still feels one-sided.” The song expresses that emotion.

You can also sense a slight unease—like it’s so happy it’s hard to believe.

A beloved classic that resonates deeply with Flower’s female fans! Inspired by the fairy tale Snow White, this song portrays an unattainable love.

Even knowing the person she likes will never turn to her, the feelings of a woman who waits for the day she’ll be chosen pierce the heart.
