Nice to meet you. I’m Yuko S. I teach yoga, meditation, and Laughter Yoga Music. I offer Laughter Yoga Music because ensuring children’s psychological safety fosters the development of their brains and minds and helps them cultivate their talents. I have produced many Laughter Yoga Music recreation sessions that simply let people enjoy laughter, music, and dance—connecting India and Japan via Zoom for both children and adults. My track record includes regularly held Nerima Laughter Yoga classes, regularly held Kichijoji Laughter Yoga Music classes, and occasional Laughter Yoga Music events. I’m currently involved in various kinds of work, and as I began facing myself more deeply, I continued studying NLP—sometimes called an instruction manual for the brain and mind—as well as the deeper unconscious realms of the psyche; I now also work as a psychological therapist. I love music, too. Back in my student days, I was such a big fan of the band LÄ-PPISCH that I even joined their fan club. I was a total live-music girl, spending most of my part-time earnings on indie concert tickets, lol. I listen to music across genres, and since I’ve lived in India, I especially listen to a lot of Indian music.

That bittersweet “first love” that only happens once in a lifetime.

In this article, we’ve gathered songs that capture that very first love.

People often say “first love doesn’t last,” but how was it for you?

Some married their first love, some didn’t see it blossom, and some might be in the midst of their very first love right now, overwhelmed by feelings that only grow stronger.

Pure, straightforward, fleeting… emotions that make you blush to remember now.

But at the time, it was just a desperate, all-consuming first love.

In this article, we’ll introduce a wide range of songs—from those about being in the throes of first love to those that look back on it nostalgically.

Give them a listen.

GuaranaSukima Suichi

A high-energy love song performed by Sukima Switch.

Although it doesn’t use the words “first love,” I think it portrays a boy’s clumsy, timid, yet uncontrollable feelings of experiencing a passionate love for the first time.

It was also chosen as the theme song for the film “Rough,” based on the original work by Mitsuru Adachi and starring Masami Nagasawa and Mokomichi Hayami.
