Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

Even within the single word “crush,” there are many forms: the happy kind where your heart flutters just thinking about the person you like, and the painful kind where your chest tightens with the anxiety that your feelings may never be returned.

What kind of unrequited love have you experienced, or are you experiencing now?

In this article, we’ll introduce songs about unrequited love that resonate with many different shapes of romance—tracks with lyrics that people say “really hit home” and “feel impossible not to relate to.”

We hope you’ll find a favorite song that can support your unsteady heart during a one-sided love.
