This is a song by Hikaru Utada that encapsulates the many emotions experienced in a first love—fluttering excitement, frustration, heartache, and pain.

You may fall in love many times in your life, but a first love happens only once.

Utada’s soul-stirring voice and tender lyrics remind us of that simple yet precious truth.

It seems many fans also enjoy comparing the lyrics with those of “First Love,” which Utada released at the age of 16.

Sumika is a band with a warm, enveloping singing voice that leaves a strong impression.

This track is full of bouncy rhythms that are so much fun.

The groovy vocals riding over the band’s sound feel great, and while there’s a slightly traditional vibe, it really makes you think this kind of style is wonderful too.

With lyrics that hit the mark and pierce the heart, it’s an upbeat, party-ready rock number.

This song, which is the opening theme for the TV anime “Ao Haru Ride,” is a collaboration between HoneyWorks—also known as Haniwa—a creator group active mainly on platforms like Niconico and YouTube, and the vocalist CHiCO.

The song unfolds like a story, so I highly recommend watching the music video along with it.

It portrays a youthful tale in which two girls who are friends end up falling for the same boy.

It’s a recommended track that captures the sweet-and-sour feeling of high school youth.

This is a song released in 2014 by AAA, a popular dance-vocal unit from avex, which won an Excellence Award at the Japan Record Awards.

The song depicts the breakup of two people who were once lovers.

No matter how deeply two people love each other, there are times when a breakup comes inevitably.

In such moments, I think all we can do is quietly wait for the painful time to pass… This is a song that helps support your feelings during those times.

It expresses, in a straightforward way, the feeling of still loving someone even as you part.

A famous song by Koresawa about feelings cooling toward someone you love.

The lyrics convey the importance of the “strength” to accept the person you adore.

Many listeners will relate to the protagonist’s pain as they struggle with the difficulty and fragility of being “lovers.” It’s a song that offers a chance to ask yourself whether simply caring isn’t enough, and whether you can overcome the hardships that await after you start dating.
