Confession songs that give your crush a push: love songs to express your feelings (21–30)
Because it won’t reach / Because it doesn’t reachHirai Ken
It’s a song called “Todokanai Kara,” released in 2018 by Ken Hirai, the king of love songs.
It expresses that frustrating feeling of loving someone but being unable to tell them, and not clearly knowing how they feel in return.
It’s a heartrending love song that resonates all the more because it’s sung in Ken Hirai’s voice.
usmilet
It was selected as the theme song for the drama Gisou Furin starring Anne.
Saying the word “love” is easy enough if it’s just words.
But the weight hidden in those words is immense, and it’s hard to actually say them.
Will the future beyond “I love you” be happy or unhappy? Even if it turns out unhappy, can we still talk the way we always have? Thoughts like these take over my mind and keep me from moving forward.
milet blasts through that haze and sings it all out with a refreshing clarity.
Confession songs that give your feelings a push. Love songs to tell someone you like them (31–40)
I long to see you now.MISIA
A grand ballad that stirs the heart with a bittersweet yet powerful longing to meet a cherished person across time.
Sung by MISIA, renowned for her overwhelming vocal prowess, this piece was written as the theme song for TBS’s Sunday drama “JIN” and released as a single in November 2009.
It was also positioned as the lead single from the album “JUST BALLADE,” and many listeners may remember it alongside the drama’s moving scenes.
The lyrics, capturing the frustration of not being able to meet someone you long for and the overflowing passion within, are perfect for anyone seeking the courage to confess their feelings on Valentine’s Day.
Why not immerse yourself in this soul-stirring voice while making chocolates?
UtakokuAdachi Kana
A heart-wrenching confession song by the buzzworthy young singer-songwriter Kana Adachi! The lyrics are based on actual words of confession spoken by high school students on AbemaTV’s “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita,” packing real feelings tightly into the track.
The music video, set in a school, depicts many shades of romance, and it’s a wonderful piece that lets you feel the essence of youth just by watching—highly recommended.
You and the summer music festivalSHISHAMO
There are times when you feel insecure and embarrassed, and you end up hiding your true self from the person you like, unable to confess your feelings.
That’s exactly when I want you to listen to SHISHAMO’s “Kimi to Natsu Fes.” SHISHAMO is a three-piece girls’ band, and their lyrics feel like they’re speaking on behalf of the feelings we all have.
So when you listen to this song, instead of hiding yourself out of fear of being disliked, it gives you the courage to confess—making it a song I highly recommend.
Spot the differenceSuda Masaki
A song by Masaki Suda, who is active not only as an actor but also as a singer.
This track was written and composed by Kenshi Yonezu.
While many love songs straightforwardly express the feeling of “I like you,” this one, in a good way, conveys that feeling more indirectly.
By doing so, it seems to express the kindness of the person confessing.
Moreover, Suda’s gentle vocals enhance that effect, resulting in a song overflowing with warmth.
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.
