A three-piece rock band with a superb worldview that grabs listeners and won’t let go—through vivid, heated lyrics that paint scenes in your mind and irresistibly catchy melodies—back number’s sixth single.

Chosen as the opening theme for the music show COUNT DOWN TV, this track leaves you with lyrics that truly evoke a high school summer festival.

Its ultra-realistic imagery and slightly humid melody and tone are sure to set many high schoolers’ thoughts spinning.

It’s the perfect number to listen to when you’re about to ask out someone you like.

This is an unrequited love song by back number that captures a man’s bittersweet feeling of “I want to confess—I have to…” to someone he won’t be able to see much longer.

back number has many popular unrequited love songs like HAPPY BIRTHDAY and Takane no Hanako-san.

But since we’re recommending songs for high school students this time, here’s one that easily brings school to mind! They go to the same school, yet he can’t confess his feelings—he just watches from afar as his feelings grow stronger.

Many high schoolers will probably think, “That’s just like me.”

Unrequited lovemiwa

Miwa’s eighth single, “Kataomoi,” released in 2012.

There’s something special about a school-days crush—the looming deadline of graduation, the chance you might have to keep seeing them even if a confession goes wrong.

This song gently stays by your side as your heart wavers and you feel unsure, a love song so aching it tightens your chest.

You can really feel, irresistibly, that feeling of loving someone from the bottom of your heart.

It’s a crush song that truly captures the meaning of “thinking about you asleep or awake.”

Yuika’s debut track delicately captures the bittersweet feeling of unrequited love.

A girl’s pure, earnest emotions seep into your heart alongside the gentle sound of the piano.

Released in February 2024, it was also featured as an insert song on the popular dating show “Koisuru ♥ Shūmatsu Homestay 2024 Winter.” It’s a song that speaks to anyone who has felt the frustration of being unable to convey their feelings to the one they like.

It’s also recommended for those who’ve experienced liking the same person as a friend.

Even if your feelings are suddenly confessed to you, you can’t say them out loud—yet you can’t tell your friend either.

The song expresses those helpless emotions in a straightforward way.

Ra, a storyaimyon

I think Aimyon has many love songs that are easy to relate to, and I also recommend “Ra, no Hanashi.” It was used as an insert song in the film “Ashita Sekai ga Owaru to Shite mo” (Even if the World Ends Tomorrow) and was included on the album “Shunkanteki Sixth Sense.” When you fall in love, you can’t help but imagine all sorts of “what if we…” scenarios with the person you like, right? This song is filled with those “what if…” feelings.

It’s a track that makes you want to listen while thinking of someone you love.

Loved across generations, Aimyon is especially popular among young women.

As the title suggests, her song “Koi wo Shita Kara” (“Because I Fell in Love”) poignantly expresses the feelings of a woman in love.

Love songs suit Aimyon perfectly—likely because her own experiences and genuine emotions are reflected in her music, and that sincerity comes through clearly to listeners.

This track, too, powerfully conveys the emotions of being in love and the many things that become visible because of that love—so vividly you can almost reach out and touch them.

Longing for short hairKoresawa

There are times when falling in love prompts you to change your hairstyle, right? Koresawa’s “Longing for a Short Cut” is a song that captures those feelings.

It portrays a girl who wants to cut her hair short to match the other person’s preferences but just can’t work up the courage.

The track is included on Koresawa’s 2016 EP “J-A-POP,” and it’s a comfortable pop tune with a relaxed tempo and a catchy melody.

I think many high school girls can relate to the lyrics, so it’s a recommended song for anyone in love!
