Confession songs that give your crush a push: love songs to express your feelings (21–30)
Beyond a thousand nightsAqua Timez
Confessing your feelings is really scary.
What if it doesn’t go well? What if telling them ruins your friendship? Once you start thinking like that, it’s hard to stop.
But there’s no lie in the fact that you like that person.
It would be wonderful if your feelings reached them, but even if they don’t, isn’t it best to be honest with yourself, make up your mind like the protagonist of this song, and tell the person you like how you feel?
I LOVE…Ofisharu Higedan Dism
A song that can’t be put into words straightforwardly, yet overflows with an unstoppable love: “I LOVE…”.
It’s a track by the piano pop band Official HIGE DANDism, also known for the classic “Pretender,” and it became a beloved hit as the theme song for the drama “An Incurable Case of Love.” It conveys warm, single-hearted affection—the desire to spend ordinary moments that are everyday life for the other person, yet special to oneself, together by their side forever.
Love and romanceNovelbright
This is a very warm piece that conveys a love so great it can’t be defined in words.
It’s included on the album “Assort,” released by the rock band Novelbright in May 2022.
The tones of acoustic guitar and synthesizer are soothing, and the light, breezy arrangement offers a charm distinct from their usual band sound.
The lyrics—expressing how even changing yourself to match the person you love feels precious—sink deeply into the heart, especially when paired with Yudai Takenaka’s high-toned vocals.
I highly recommend this song to anyone nursing a crush or wanting to convey their feelings to someone important.
Give it a listen—it might be the push you need to take that first courageous step.
From Me to Youflumpool
A refreshing love song that conveys the pure feeling of “I like you” straight to the heart.
Released in 2010 as flumpool’s fifth major single, it was chosen as the theme song for the film “Kimi ni Todoke” and became their first track to rank in the top 10 for two consecutive weeks.
Simply meeting someone you like is such a delightful, happy thing, isn’t it? Make sure to express those feelings clearly—good luck with your confession!
Sound of SnowGReeeeN
Their eyes meet, their hands touch—so you think, okay, their love is about to start! Yet you can’t help but be drawn to how the song never explicitly says what comes next.
It’s a number by GReeeeN.
The cold snow only makes the warmth spreading from their joined hands grow stronger! It’s frustrating, too, but without putting feelings into words, coincidence alone can’t bring two hearts together.
Once you’ve come this far, it feels like just one more step—this song makes you want to give it a try.
Song of PointillismMrs. GREEN APPLE feat. Inoue Sonoko
This is a collaboration number with Sonoko Inoue, used as an insert song in the film Aonatsu: 30 Days With You, starring Wakana Aoi.
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE also provided the movie’s main theme with their song Ao to Natsu (Blue and Summer).
The time you can spend with someone you love passes in the blink of an eye.
It’s so fun and so dear that you want those moments to last forever—ideally to pause at the very best part.
But time moves on.
This song captures that poignant yet powerful sense of reality.
A Little Love SongMONGOL800
A song distinguished by the gentle rock sound unique to Okinawan bands.
With simple yet resonant lyrics, it portrays the bittersweetness of long-distance love and first love.
Included on the album “MESSAGE,” released in September 2001, it was also used as a featured song in a film in 2019.
Known as an insert song for the drama “Operation Love” (Proposal Daisakusen), it’s a popular track covered by many artists.
It’s the perfect cheer-up song for those who want to confess their feelings but can’t find the courage.
Listen to this track, and you’ll surely gain the bravery to confess, too.
