Eine KleineYonezu Kenshi
Falling in love with someone brings lots of joy, but there are also times when you suddenly feel sad or scared, and your mood drops.
This is a sentimental love song that perfectly fits those feelings: Kenshi Yonezu’s “Eine Kleine.” Even though thinking about the person you like should make you happy, you can’t help but think negatively—everyone experiences that.
It’s a slightly sad yet deeply moving love song about wishing for that person’s happiness, even if it means sacrificing your own feelings.
To Those Who Know the Blue of the Skyaimyon
Aimyong’s songs are wonderful because, down to the smallest corners of the lyrics, there’s something that seems to overlap with our own lives.
She’s also one of those artists you just can’t skip if you’re a high school student.
While her low-register vocals are undeniably cool and stylish, the message she sings is down-to-earth and easy to connect with—this song is just like that.
As you listen, try to explore what Aimyong wants to convey to everyone through this track.

Among Arashi’s love songs, this track is especially popular.
“One Love” was released in 2008 as their 22nd single.
It was chosen as the theme song for the movie Hana Yori Dango F, starring group member Jun Matsumoto, and it topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
The song expresses straightforward love from a man to a woman—a love song that makes you wish to be cherished like that by someone you love.
Summer LoveInoue Sonoko
Natsukoi was released in 2016 as Sonoko Inoue’s second single.
It was used as the ending theme for the TV Tokyo drama Koe Koi.
It’s a very cute song that captures the fluttery feelings of a one-sided crush—the desire to confess your feelings but being afraid to do so, and the way you think about, gaze at, and follow the person you like.
A Naked Heartaimyon
“Naked Heart” is a song by Aimyon that was used as the theme song for the drama “My Housekeeper Nagisa-san.” It expresses the unstable feelings of a woman whose unrequited love isn’t going well.
When your own love doesn’t work out, you start to envy couples and wonder, “Why am I the only one who isn’t loved…?”—it makes you feel anxious, doesn’t it? This song conveys those same emotions, but in the end, she makes up her mind to move on to the next love.
It’s sure to give you courage.

This is a heartbreak song that expresses the aching feelings of a love that suffers because you can’t forget the one you love.
It’s common to look back and think, “If only I’d given up back then, maybe I wouldn’t have been hurt this much…” But that’s the thing about love—you can’t just stop yourself there.
When the more you try to forget someone, the more they occupy your mind, maybe all you can do is wait for time to heal it.
This song can be seen not only as a pure love song about continuing to think of someone you loved, but also as a song about an affair filled with lingering attachment.
Which do you feel it is?
