Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids.

Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

There are so many people who “like someone but don’t have the courage to tell them.” You might lack confidence, not want to risk the relationship you have now, or maybe you’ve never even spoken to them.

Even if you know nothing will start unless you say something, courage doesn’t just appear so easily—and the more you care, the more timid you become.

In this article, I’ll introduce some “confession songs” I want you to listen to if you’re in that situation.

If you’re hoping for a little push, please give them a listen.

By the time you finish, you’ll likely find a bit more courage than you have right now.

Give me! Chocolate!

Give me! Chocolate!Shintani Ryoko, Tamura Yukari, Sawashiro Miyuki

This is a song performed by Ryoko Shintani, Yukari Tamura, and Miyuki Sawashiro, created for the TV anime Galaxy Angel.

It was included on the album Shout with Galaxy Angel! and released in April 2002.

The lyrics express hopes about love and dreams, depicting the sweet yet bittersweet anticipation of romance and destined encounters.

With its poppy, cute melody, it’s perfect for the moments right before a nerve-racking confession.

Listening to it might make you feel as if wings have sprouted in your heart, giving you the lightness to take that first step.

Highly recommended for anyone who’s decided to take the plunge and confess their feelings!

The song “Kokuhaku” (Confession) released in 2017 by Mone Kamishiraishi was written and composed by Motohiro Hata.

It’s a song I want you to listen to when you have someone you like but don’t want to risk the relationship you have now and can’t find the courage to confess.

With a gentle voice, it sings about the hurt you carry when you can’t confess, and as you listen to the lyrics, they show you the pain that lies ahead if you don’t say anything.

Knowing that pain, I think it gives you a push toward the opposite future—one where you try confessing.

Aimer, who has built a reputation as a powerhouse singer with her enchanting voice and solid vocal skills.

“Kataomoi” is a song she released in 2016, expressing feelings of love for someone through various turns of phrase.

The song portrays both the man’s and the woman’s perspectives, and if you look only at the lyrics, it can sound like mutual love—but considering the title, perhaps neither of them has actually shared their feelings.

It’s a song that allows for many interpretations depending on the listener.

“Kataomoi,” brimming with fondness—bittersweet yet heartwarming.

Please give it a listen.
