Magic CarpetKawasaki Takaya
This song, Magic Carpet, by singer-songwriter Takaya Kawasaki, who shot to fame after going viral on TikTok, quickly became a hot topic.
The title and lyrics reference the story and characters from Aladdin and the Magic Lamp, the Disney film everyone knows, which makes it all the more moving.
Kawasaki’s emotive vocals heighten the sense of wistfulness and really capture your heart.
It’s a love song from a male perspective: he has nothing to brag about and lacks confidence, yet his feelings for the other person—how much he loves them—come through powerfully.
Fuyu LoveJuliet
This song portrays the feelings of a wistful girl.
Have you ever found yourself falling for a friend? You don’t want to ruin the relationship, right? This track reveals that side of a girl in glimpses, making it a one-sided love song that anyone in love can relate to.
Lovely♡FriendshipSPEED
In the 1990s, SPEED debuted when all the members were still in elementary and junior high school, and they were immensely popular among people their age.
This song expresses the feelings of a girl who has a crush on a male friend.
It’s a love anthem that turns the anxiety of “Maybe he only sees me as just a friend…” into courage.
centimeterthe peggies
It’s a song by the three-piece girls’ band the peggies that portrays the state of unrequited love where you can’t find confidence in yourself and end up holding back right at the moment you think, “If I could just muster a little more courage.” Written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime Rent-A-Girlfriend, it has earned strong support from fans of the original work as “the perfect song that closely matches the story.” That fear of getting too close precisely because you’re head over heels may be something unique to unrequited love.
That girl complex＝LOVE
=LOVE is a female idol group produced by Rino Sashihara.
Affectionately known as Ikolove, they’re a voice-acting idol group trained by Yoyogi Animation Academy.
Their song “Ano Ko Complex” has strikingly realistic lyrics that pierce the heart of anyone nursing a one-sided crush.
You can keenly feel the pain of unrequitedness that goes beyond simple jealousy of “that girl” and stems from deep-seated complexes.
Still, it’s easy to relate to the way she keeps pursuing love with single-minded devotion.
Be sure to pay attention to the emotionally charged vocals, too!
You and the slopesSHISHAMO
A wintry unrequited-love song released in December 2015.
The girl in the song is really looking forward to a ski trip that her crush will also be joining.
Her heart is pounding, and she can’t stop feeling excited—this cute image is sung over a light, upbeat band sound.
While many unrequited-love songs are bittersweet, this one makes you feel that even having a crush can be fun.
It’s also recommended for when unrequited love feels tough!
to pine for loveBENI
A quietly sung, heartwarming track by BENI that poignantly captures the ache of unrequited love.
It conveys the pain of being unable to express your feelings, the flutter of waiting for a message from the person you like, and the sadness of a distance that never seems to close.
With a gentle voice that embraces those delicate emotions everyone has felt, the song paints them with tenderness.
Released in June 2009, it was also featured in a RecoChoku commercial and resonated with many women.
It’s the kind of captivating number you’ll want to listen to alone on a troubled night of love, letting the tears fall.
