The Right to JealousyNogizaka 46
“The Right to Be Jealous” is a song about thinking of someone you like who isn’t nearby and letting your imagination run wild—“Who are they with?” “Where are they and what are they doing?”—and feeling jealous of someone who isn’t you at the end of that imagining.
If you’ve ever been in love, you’ve surely been down this road at least once.
Even though you know in your head that you have no right to be possessive since you haven’t even confessed, when it comes to the person you like, it isn’t that simple.
That restless, irresistible curiosity is what we call a crush; if you could neatly separate your feelings, it wouldn’t be love! The ache turns into anger, and you find yourself on the verge of confronting them with, “Who were you with?”
SPYMakihara Noriyuki
Noriyuki Makihara’s “SPY,” released in 1994.
The lyrics are a bit thrilling: he follows his girlfriend, suspecting she’s cheating…
After only the first verse, it’s still uncertain and in the realm of suspicion, but once the second verse begins, the story moves forward and unfolds—like watching a drama.
Even though he’s being cheated on, he still cares for her; it’s a song that portrays the turmoil between jealousy and love.

You’re like a human.Kitanitatsuya
At first glance, a title like “You’re Just Like a Human” might make you wonder, “What’s that supposed to mean?” The song is performed by singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani.
In the lyrics, the protagonist can no longer feel any warm, human kindness from their partner and is ultimately used for convenience and cast aside.
