Love Story – Namie Amuro (Full)

Namie Amuro, who sadly retired in 2018, remains incredibly popular—you still hear her voice in many places.

Her song “Love Story” was her 38th single, released in 2011.

It also served as the theme song for the TV drama “The Reason I Can’t Find My Love.” The opening lyrics may make you pause, but the chorus swells powerfully, making it a love song that truly resonates.

It’s a sorrowful love song that conveys both confusion and an unwavering inner strength.

Hikaru Utada “Kimi ni Muchū”

This is a song by Hikaru Utada wrapped in a sweet, sensual atmosphere.

It vividly portrays the aching pull of drowning in love and the intoxicating power of passion that unravels reason.

The emotions shine with a sensual, dangerous glow, like a city shrouded in the darkness of night.

I became someone else’s girlfriend.wacci

wacci “I Became Someone Else’s Girlfriend” Music Video

This is a song by wacci that sings of a woman’s aching heart as she chooses love for her own sake.

Haven’t you ever tried desperately to tuck a past relationship away as a memory, telling yourself that your current partner is more wonderful than the one you broke up with? Created by vocalist Yohei Hashiguchi, the piece skillfully contrasts a present love that makes you overreach with a past love where you could be yourself, portraying a wavering state of mind with finesse.

After its digital release in August 2018, it spread by word of mouth and became a long-running hit, surpassing 100 million streams.

Even though she’s decided they’ll never meet again, the final lines let her true feelings slip out—so real they strike straight to the heart.

Eriashi

When it comes to love songs by women, it’s got to be aiko.

She has many songs about love, and each one expresses a subtly different female emotion—I think she’s a true master of romance.

No matter how old she gets, her cute looks never change, and her Kansai dialect is adorable.
