Lovely love song

“I Want to See You”: A love song that makes you cry when you listen to it while you can’t meet

Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

They’re all tear-jerking tracks that stay close to a aching heart, so you’re sure to find a song that resonates with your feelings.

Listening to sentimental music when you’re lonely might seem like it will only make things harder, but letting yourself sink into the sadness with a song can help you sort out your emotions and maybe even look forward again.

I became someone else's girlfriend.wacci

This song, which became a hot topic on YouTube and social media for being “so relatable,” is a signature, heart-wrenching track by the rock band wacci.

The lyrics, told from a woman’s perspective, read like she’s informing her ex-boyfriend that she has someone new.

Yet you can keenly feel how much she still longs for him.

Many listeners are moved by the way she can’t be honest with herself, even as her desire to see him overflows.

If you’re in a similar situation, give it a listen.

Imo-rai Imotuki.

You know how the smallest exchanges with someone you love can shake your heart.

This song is a ballad that delicately portrays the complex emotions of love and lies in romance.

It’s sung by tuki., a singer-songwriter whose collaborative video with Yuuri, released in December 2023, drew a lot of attention.

In this track from November 2024, the anxieties that arise precisely because you care so deeply—and the earnest wish to keep believing in the other person—come through clearly in her expressively rich voice.

You may find yourself resonating with its profound message of accepting the other person, love, lies, and all.

For hearts that long to be loved yet grow timid, this song will gently stay by your side.

Path of Loveaiko

A masterful song by aiko that captures both the ache and warmth of a long-distance relationship.

Included on the album “Himitsu,” this track delicately portrays the feelings of two people in love despite the distance.

From the opening lines, you can sense the awkwardness and anxiety of their reunion.

Yet it also highlights the importance of communication, singing that “the two of us still have words.” Released on the April 2008 album and performed on her 2011 live tour, it’s a highly recommended song not only for those in long-distance relationships but for anyone who wants to feel the bond with someone special.
