Blue Springakane (Otoniae)
A single released in 2021 by the two-member music unit Onriame, made up of Akane and Akari.
Just like the title suggests, it’s a love song about a “girl in love” right in the midst of her youth, and the shoujo-manga-like world it creates is irresistible.
The music video is also recommended—you can experience firsthand a love story that charges straight ahead, even as she’s bewildered by and pokes fun at her own feelings.
As you listen to this song, savor to the fullest that faint yet aching feeling of “I really like you,” and enjoy the sweetness of a one-sided crush!

It’s a song in which the grown-up self looks back wistfully on the fleeting youth that has already passed by.
Summer serves as a central motif, and the sparkling, delicate music video draws you right in.
It’s soothing to listen to when you find yourself remembering an old romance or feeling sentimental.

You Your YoursAdachi Kana
Singer-songwriter Kana Adachi’s “You Your Yours” is a sweet and cute song with a pleasantly bittersweet vibe! Unrequited love often feels overshadowed by sadness, but the heart-pounding excitement and the way you get carried away—things you can only feel during a crush—are irresistible, right? The acoustic guitar’s sparkling tones capture that bursting feeling, paired with a fresh melody and Adachi’s bright, clear vocals that give you a push forward! The music video also gives off a great youthful vibe.
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.

A heartrending love song that portrays emotional misalignment, likened to a guitar’s tuning frequencies.
