HY’s “366 Days” is a song about lingering feelings for a lover you can’t forget even after breaking up.
Released on the 2008 album HeartY, the album reached No.
2 on the Oricon chart.
The track was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s drama and Toho-distributed film Threads of Destiny (Akai Ito), and it’s a classic that has been covered by many artists.
Izumi Nakasone, who wrote “366 Days,” reportedly temporarily broke up with her then-boyfriend to experience a real separation for the song.

I wish you were hereLEGO BIG MORL
A song about feelings for a lover you’ll never meet again is “Anata ga Ireba Ii no ni” by the Osaka-born rock band LEGO BIG MORL.
It was included on their 2017 album “Shinzō no Ibasho.” The song was created around 2011, the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and it’s said that Hiroki Tanaka, who wrote the lyrics, also lost someone dear to him.
Those emotions are reflected in the song’s words.
If you’re currently in unrequited love, it might be best to express your feelings while you still can.

This is a song released in 2020 by the idol group Hinatazaka46, sung from a male perspective about unrequited love.
Once you fall in love, even if she isn’t conventionally beautiful, she looks like the cutest girl in the world, and everything she does somehow connects back to “I like you”—a love as sweet as sugar is woven through the lyrics.
Taken objectively, it’s full of lines that might seem embarrassing, but when a man actually falls in love, many might be surprised to find they feel the same way.
It’s a happy, feel-good track that will make you grin just thinking about the girl you like!
