Ms. Hanako on a high pedestalback number
With their realistic psychological portrayals, back number captures the hearts of many fans.
Their eighth single, released in June 2013, truly feels like “a song packed full of one-sided-love imaginings.” You can’t help but nod along at the poignant sense of distance—being nothing more than “a friend of a friend” to the person you like—and at the way you get depressed by imagining the kind of partner they’d want and deciding you don’t measure up.
In contrast to those lyrics, the brisk, refreshing sound gently propels that frustrating, unrequited longing forward.
The track is also included on the album “Love Story,” and it was used in a commercial in 2019.
Wishing to be loved yet unable to take that final step—this is a one-sided love song that will surely resonate and stay close to your heart.
A Naked Heartaimyon
I think many people love the songs sung by the popular singer-songwriter Aimyon because her unadorned words pierce the heart.
This work is a ballad that gently stays close to a heart that has become timid about love.
Feeling lonely and wondering if you’ll always be alone, or envying someone who seems happy… It sings of the earnest desire to be loved by someone just as you are, without hiding those feelings.
The song was released in June 2020 as her 10th single and became a hot topic as the theme song for the drama “My Housekeeper Nagisa-san.” With a characteristically Aimyon, slightly nostalgic melody, it will gently embrace the pain of your struggles in love and make you feel like you can try again.

This song brings the bittersweet ache of unrequited love right to your chest.
Released in November 2021, it was written as the opening theme for the BL drama “My Beautiful Man.” Crafted to match the drama’s worldview—which portrays the relationship between a high school student with a stutter and someone at the top of the school’s social hierarchy—the lyrics capture a clumsy, heartfelt love from the protagonist’s perspective.
Even while knowing he isn’t worthy of the other person, he can’t help but follow him with his eyes.
The emotions swaying between low self-esteem and feelings that can’t be contained are expressed through the imagery of a sweet yet slightly bitter taste.
Dream of the Trifoliate OrangeŌhashi Torio
A number by Ohashi Trio that drew attention as the opening theme for TV Tokyo’s Drama 24 series What Did You Eat Yesterday? Season 2.
Released as an EP in November 2023, this song features a light acoustic sound and a warm, country-tinged feel that resonates pleasantly.
The drama carefully portrays the everyday life of a same-sex couple, and this track, aligning with that worldview, sings about the irreplaceable value of living fully in the present moment.
When you find yourself cherishing ordinary time with someone dear, or wanting to feel grateful for daily life, give it a listen.
In conclusion
The beautiful power of music gently resonates with our hearts, embracing the desire to be loved.
I introduced songs that earnestly express that wish to be loved.
It’s wonderful to listen alone and feel understood, and it’s also lovely to share with someone dear to you.
If you’ve found a song that matches your feelings, why not let its voice give you a gentle push and take a new step forward?
