Unrequited love song by a girls' band

Goodbye, my friendSCANDAL

SCANDAL – Sayonara My Friend (Live 10th Anniversary Festival “2006-2016”)

Unusually for SCANDAL, the song starts with an acoustic touch and draws you in gently.

You can really feel the bittersweet emotions of the protagonist who keeps their feelings hidden.

As it gradually shifts into a full band sound partway through and begins to build, it grabs your heart.

Fluffy Time

It’s the signature song from the well-known anime K-On!, of course.

The lyrics are packed with girly words to the point of overflow, making your heart flutter.

These days, it’s probably a song that many people, regardless of gender, cover when they start a band.

the peggies “Centimeter” Music Video

This is a song by the peggies, released in August 2020, that expresses a bittersweet crush and a slight sense of distance as if in an equation.

The intertwining of longing and anxiety for a destined person is brilliantly conveyed through an upbeat pop-rock sound and clear, airy vocals.

The track was used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Rent-A-Girlfriend” and reached No.

34 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

This love song, which celebrates the wonder of falling for someone, is a comforting tune not only for those in love but also for anyone hoping for a wonderful encounter ahead.

Charonnegoto

Negoto – Charon [Official Music Video]

A coming-of-age song that stirs the heart with its dreamlike, translucent sound and literary lyrics.

The title “Charon” is the name of Pluto’s moon, and the story projects feelings for someone far away onto the image of Charon—always beside Pluto yet never crossing paths.

Released on March 2, 2011, the track was featured in a campaign commercial for au’s music distribution service, LISMO!.

Also included on the album “ex Negoto,” this gem portrays the ache of wanting to meet someone you cannot see.

It’s a song best heard in the stillness before dawn, when thoughts turn to someone precious in the distance.

With a sparse, warm, and simple sound, ERI’s smooth, lustrous vocals feel wonderful.

I often see and hear people online and in real life say they can’t make out the lyrics of young artists’ songs, but that’s not the case with them.

It brings to mind the scene of a slightly sad boy in love.

Hunting Summer

It’s a slightly provocative love song that’s perfect for hyping up a live show.

There’s no trace of melancholy—just a driving, full-throttle energy! Listening to it really perks you up.

The band’s performance blends technical prowess with bold power—seriously badass.

[Hatsune Miku] JITTERIN’JINN “Present”

It’s a super catchy classic that even people who don’t know JITTERIN’JINN firsthand have probably heard.

The brisk tempo paired with the equally snappy lyrics will stick in your head and loop on repeat after just one listen! The lyrics themselves are actually very sad.
