A confession song that gives your feelings a push—love songs for telling someone you like them.
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.

Confession songs that give your crush a push: love songs to express your feelings (21–30)
Wish Upon a Starflumpool

Led by the guitar, this song is filled with freshness.
The rhythm, which feels like it could burst into a run at any moment, matches the lyrics perfectly.
It’s as if there’s a magic woven into it that makes you want to confess your feelings to the one you love.
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)
confessionFUNKY MONKEY BABYS

It’s a confessional song whose unadorned words resonated with many people.
When you’ve been together for a long time, you tend to stop saying “I love you” out loud, don’t you? So how about proposing by straightforwardly telling her, “I love you so much,” once again? I think it will really move her.
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.
loveHoshino Gen

You want to share your feelings, but you can’t find the courage.
This song gently gives you that nudge.
Released in October 2016 as the theme song for the drama “We Married as a Job,” it became a social phenomenon.
Set to Gen Hoshino’s light vocals and a comfortable rhythm, it tenderly captures the emotions of someone in love.
The lyric “Go beyond being alone” carries the message that falling in love can help you grow as a person.
It’s a perfect track for anyone who needs courage to express their feelings or wants to take a new step forward.
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.
