Confession songs that give your feelings a push. Love songs to express your affection (41–50)
I love you.Inoue Sonoko
A one-sided love song in which Sonoko Inoue sings out her feelings of love.
It’s a track overflowing with tender emotions—the urge to hold someone tight, to kiss them.
Even on sleepless nights when you just want to see them, thinking of that person can make you feel happy.
The lyrics are filled with pure, delicate emotions that make your heart flutter.
Released in November 2015 as her major-label debut single, it peaked at No.
48 on the Oricon Weekly Chart.
It’s a warm song that gently gives courage to those troubled by love.
If you’re hesitating to confess your feelings, this is a song you should definitely listen to.
I like you, but it seems you don’t really like me.back number
No one can beat them when it comes to singing about a man’s feelings in love.
This is the song “I Like You, But It Seems You Don’t Really Like Me” by back number.
It’s packed with a slightly indecisive, wavering kind of love.
It’s frustrating how relatable it is! The length of the title totally makes sense for this one.
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.
I am in love with you now.Adachi Kana
There are times when, even though you just want to tell the person you like how you feel, you can’t honestly say “I like you.” Adachi Kana’s 2018 song “Watashi Anata ni Koi o Shiteimasu” feels like a cheer song that speaks for the feelings of a woman in love.
Its slightly bittersweet lyrics will surely soothe your heart with a “I totally get that feeling!” It’s a song that gently stays close to your timid heart and encourages your honest feelings—saying it’s hard, but because you love them, you want to be together.
A Little Love SongMONGOL800
As a milestone of youth punk, this is MONGOL800’s ultimate love song.
Set to a driving, high-energy band sound, it expresses the preciousness of having someone special right by your side and a pure vow of unchanging love.
Released in September 2001 and included on the album “MESSAGE,” which sold an astonishing 2.8 million copies, this song—though not a single—has continued to be beloved, even inspiring a film of the same name released in 2019.
It carries a powerful force that seems to speak the overflowing emotions you can’t put into words, and it’s sure to give you courage when you want to convey your feelings to someone you love.
365 daysMr.Children
If you need the courage to tell someone special that you love them, try listening to this classic ballad that resonates deep in the heart.
It’s a work by Mr.Children, the rock band behind many timeless hits, and it’s included on their 2010 album SENSE.
It was featured for a long time in commercials for NTT East/West and NTT Docomo, so many of you will likely recognize it.
The song delicately portrays how feelings for someone accumulate in the flow of everyday life, and how the world seems to shine simply because that person exists.
It’s a gem of a love song that I recommend to anyone in love, as a catalyst for finally putting long-held feelings into words.
Confession Heart RateSKE48
SKE48, based in Sakae at the heart of Nagoya, continue to captivate audiences with their energetic performances.
This work, the group’s 33rd single title track, is a fast-paced dance number that portrays the pounding heartbeat of a fateful first encounter.
Even before knowing anything about the other person, you’re drawn to them beyond reason… That uncontrollable feeling of falling in love is expressed through choreography inspired by a racing pulse.
Released in October 2024, the song shines with Haruka Kumazaki at its center—her long-awaited first time in the spotlight nearly 10 years after joining the group.
It’s the perfect track for anyone ready to take a step toward confessing their feelings.
