Love songs about romance sung by female Japanese artists. Popular love songs (1–10)
No way I’m going to forget it.NEW!SHISHAMO
It’s a track that directly captures the searing anger of heartbreak alongside a suffocating depth of love.
Its melody shifts from a reggae-style beat to rock in the chorus, carrying an undercurrent of hatred toward the other person, yet by the end, a poignant sense of being unable to forget seeps through, making the pain stand out more than the fear.
Released as the fifth track on the album “SHISHAMO 6,” which came out in January 2020, this song brings to mind the phrase “love and hate are two sides of the same coin.” It’s a must-listen for anyone who finds something unforgivable precisely because they love.
loveNEW!Uru
This is a love song that captures a steadfast feeling beyond the wavering heart’s anxiety and loneliness.
It’s a track that feels like confiding what’s inside your chest, and Uru’s clear, translucent voice gently seeps into the heart.
Released in November 2025 as the coupling track to her 16th single “Platform,” the title track is used as the opening theme for the anime “Everlasting Twilight.” Even if you cherish your partner, some people find it hard to express their feelings honestly, don’t they? In such moments, gifting this song will convey the certain love you hold within.
Try using this song to share your desire to stay together from here on.
To Those Who Know the Blue of the Skyaimyon
This is the song that was chosen as the theme for the anime film “Her Blue Sky.” Its melody isn’t exactly bright, and the poignantly wistful tone sticks in your head, but it’s such a great song, isn’t it? From the protagonist’s actions, you can feel their overflowing feelings for the person they love.
The uniquely indirect turns of phrase—so characteristic of Aimyon—also come across as beautiful.
Promise of RomanceNEW!Ikuta Rira
This song is perfect for anyone who wants to express their love as straightforwardly as it is adorably embarrassing.
Packed with feelings for a significant other, this love song, which honestly conveys the desire to stay together forever, was included on the album “Jukebox,” released in November 2019.
It was later rearranged in August 2021 and chosen as the theme song for the romance show “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita: Himawari Edition.” Its bittersweet melody set to a medium tempo resonates deeply.
Listen to it while thinking of your precious partner with whom you’ve shared both hardships and joys.
Even if I dieNEW!Koresawa
It’s a love song that craves the other person to the point you could call it mad love, digging out true feelings by imagining the extreme scenario of disappearing from this world.
It’s a track by Koresawa, a singer-songwriter who widely uses a bear character as her visual motif, released in November 2020 and chosen as the opening theme for Fuji TV’s program “Love music” for December of the same year.
The contrast between the approachable melody and the heavy emotion of wanting to monopolize the other person makes a strong impact.
It’s a song I’d recommend to those whose love is so strong it makes them anxious—a track whose weighty expressions at every turn can feel a little scary.
usmilet
It’s written as “milet” and pronounced “Mirei.” She is a Japanese singer-songwriter.
Her energetic, bursting vocal style is distinctive and creates a unique world of her own.
“us” is a song that expresses the feelings of unrequited love—torn between confessing your feelings to someone you like or holding them back.
Even while strongly feeling “I want you,” it’s frustrating that the timid part of you won’t be silenced.
Shape of LoveMISIA feat.HIDE(GReeeeN)
A collaboration with HIDE from GReeeeN.
This song was featured in the drama “Gibo to Musume no Blues.” In “Ai no Katachi,” the striking metaphor says, “If love existed in a tangible form, my love for you would fit perfectly in my heart.” The expressions are clear and lovely, aren’t they? Along with its straightforward chorus lyrics, it’s a heartwarming track.
I want to be your lover.Abe Mao
This is a song that lays bare the feelings of a girl with an unrequited crush.
Her endearing hesitation to take action resonates with anyone who’s been in the same situation.
Its brightness tinged with a touch of sadness draws listeners in and won’t let go.
The ballad’s melody and the warm, gentle sound are soothing to the ears.
lovesicknessAimer
It’s a ballad that brings out Aimer’s gentle yet powerful vocals.
Comparing the fragility of unrequited love to snow gives it a romantic touch, making it a truly beautiful piece.
The lyrics, which suggest that pain and hardship can become catalysts for growth, seem to offer solace to those experiencing unrequited love.
PrologueUru
This is the song chosen as the theme for the drama ‘Chuugaku Seito Nikki’ (Junior High School Diary).
It conveys the pain and hardship of unrequited love.
Sung by Uru, whose delicate, thornless voice enhances the sense of poignancy even more.
When you fall in unrequited love, it’s not only the fluttering, positive feelings—you also experience suffering.
