Ah, geez.Saucy Dog

This is a song by the three-piece band Saucy Dog that captures the delicate emotions of a woman with an unrequited crush.
It portrays her elation and despair in response to the other person’s suggestive behavior, as well as the anxiety and self-loathing she falls into while waiting for a reply on LINE.
Featured in collaboration with Morinaga’s DARS and as the theme song for the drama “Dekinai Futari,” the track boldly sings of a resolve to drown in love.
It’s a must-listen for anyone who can’t hold back their feelings for someone they like.
Why not listen to this song and find the courage to take a step forward?
ContrastTOMOO

A gem of a love song that exquisitely interweaves longing for someone with a tender ache.
The feelings TOMOO weaves—wavering between the joy and loneliness of love—gently embrace emotions anyone can relate to.
That bittersweet yearning of having someone right before your eyes yet being unable to close the distance between your hearts.
The pure emotion that slips out despite putting on a brave face.
Carefully giving voice to the heart of someone in unrequited love, this song has been airing since January 2024 as the ending theme for cour 2 of the anime Blue Box.
It’s a track we especially recommend to those who are in the midst of a romance, with their loved one nearby yet unable to be fully honest about their feelings.
Single‑minded Cinderella!CUTIE STREET

I want to monopolize the gaze of the one I love! That’s the earnest, lovestruck feeling sung in CUTIE STREET’s track.
You want to get attention on social media, but going viral out of nowhere is a little embarrassing… That selfish wish is a real, honest thought unique to the modern-day princess, isn’t it? This song is included on the single “Isn’t Being Cute Enough?” released in November 2024, and it reached No.
7 on the TikTok chart in January 2025.
If you’re struggling with the push-and-pull of romance, listening to this song might just make you want to express your true feelings more honestly!
A Little SpoonfulCUTIE STREET

This is a CUTIE STREET song that was unveiled at the Toyosu PIT concert in February 2025 and eagerly awaited by fans.
After an advance digital release in June 2025, it was included on the single “Can’t Stop at the Cue!/Chikyuu Make-Up Keikaku.” The song captures the bittersweet feelings of unrequited love—trying new hairstyles and outfits to catch the attention of someone you like, worrying about how to get your feelings across—set to a fast-paced, exhilarating melody.
Many listeners will likely see their own experiences reflected in the earnest protagonist.
Planet of Love ‘You’Tomioka Ai

This is a song by Ai Tomioka that lightheartedly sings about the floating feeling of love, as if the world revolves around the person you like.
Released in February 2024, the piece portrays single‑minded affection through an original perspective that likens the other person to a “planet,” their irresistible allure to “gravity,” and their elusive presence to a “UFO.” When you fall in love, that airy, floating sensation—like your feet aren’t on the ground—can make you worry that you’re the only one who’s lost it.
But perhaps that very strange feeling is the special signal that love has begun.

Released in February 2023, this track became a huge hit on TikTok.
Haven’t you experienced something like this yourself? Before you work up the courage to confess, why not listen to this song and get yourself in the mood?
I’ve fallen in love.YUTORI-SEDAI

A heartrending song that portrays an unstoppable longing, even while knowing you shouldn’t move forward.
It’s a rock track YUTORI-SEDAI delivers in July 2024.
With a sense of urgency like a racing heartbeat, it captures the emotional sway of not being able to suppress your feelings, even as you worry you might just be getting played.
The song was selected as the 50th anniversary commercial track for Aeon Topvalu, and the music video features Rio Kitano, a TikTok sensation.
It’s sure to resonate with anyone who can’t stop thinking about that special someone.
