Atarayo – “I Didn’t Want to Know, If It Meant Losing You” (Music Video)

Atarayo’s “I Wish I’d Never Known, If I Was Going to Lose You” portrays the unstoppable feelings of love that persist even after being betrayed by a lover.

Released in 2022, the song is a collaboration with “Junwaidan,” a project that collects people’s real-life stories about love and sexuality, and it was created based on one of the submitted accounts.

The lyrics describe being lied to again and again and betrayed—situations that should make you hate the person—yet the feelings of love won’t fade, which is simply heartbreaking.

As much as the protagonist doesn’t want to break up because they love their partner, they ultimately choose to end the relationship to protect themselves.

If you’re struggling right now and don’t know what to do in a similar situation, you might find some answers in this song.

[Yukari Yuzuki] Freedom Lolita [Original]

Screw-style’s “Freedom Lolita” portrays the coexistence of feelings that accept a breakup and feelings that can’t.

Even if you can casually say “Well then, goodbye” at the moment you part, your heart may still be soaked with lingering attachment—harboring emotions that are the complete opposite.

All the more so if the breakup itself, or everything leading up to it, was awful.

You might think, “I’ll be the one to dump someone this terrible,” yet the feeling of “love” doesn’t disappear inside—something that happens often.
