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.

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