Lovely love song

A Collection of Heartfelt Guitar Love Songs [Great for Solo Acoustic Performances Too]

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.
Composer/arranger, guitarist, and bloggerSaitō Ayumu
I started playing guitar in elementary school, and in junior high and high school I played the horn in the concert band. In college I became engrossed in composing and began using DTM. These days, I provide songs to artists as a composer, run a blog under the name “Sakki,” and post music lesson videos on YouTube. My musical roots are in rock, but I also love dance music!

Singing about people in love… When you think about the nuance of the word “love song,” it feels kind of romantic, doesn’t it?

This time, I’ve gathered Japanese songs that are guitar-oriented love songs.

From relaxed, stripped-down vocal-and-guitar pieces to rock tunes that shout out love, there’s a wide range here.

Some of you reading this might be looking for a song to perform as a wedding reception surprise.

How about choosing from the tracks listed here?

Saucy Dog, a three-piece rock band affectionately known as “Saushii,” has been drawing increasing attention in recent years.

They’ve also performed their songs “Itsuka” and “Yui” on THE FIRST TAKE, a YouTube channel built around one-take recordings.

Their track “Seaglass” is a summer tune that makes full use of vocalist-guitarist Shinya Ishihara’s sweet voice.

It’s pop, yet it has a deeply emotive atmosphere that evokes Japan’s sense of wabi and sabi.

It’s that uniquely Japanese essence you don’t find in Western music—absolutely electrifying.
