Love songs to listen to during a long-distance relationship (61–70)
If you are with meKG
A long-distance love song performed by KG, the solo project of male singer-songwriter Koh.
It’s a positive track that reassures you: no matter how far apart you are and how hard it is to meet, your feelings for each other never change.
Even though you can always stay in touch by phone or messaging apps, it honestly expresses the yearning to meet in person.
OrionASIA ENGINEER
A song performed by a four-member Japanese J-POP group formed in 1998.
The group’s name is said to embody two feelings: the drive to “expand into Asia!” and the desire to “remain craftsmen who create fun things!” This track, which likens the frustrations of a long-distance relationship to the constellation Orion, evokes a montage of scenes rather than a straightforward ballad.
The unique emotions that come with long-distance love—different from an ordinary romance—are highly relatable, aren’t they?
White LoveSPEED
Released as SPEED’s fifth single, it sold two million copies and became the group’s biggest hit.
The lyrics express the loneliness of being apart during the cold winter.
It’s a classic ballad filled with feelings of anxiety about the separation and a desire to grow into a better self by the time they meet again.
Little StarOku Hanako
A song performed by the artist Okuni Hanako, known for her skill at piano-and-vocal performances.
The gently spoken tone and sorrowful melody flow together to deeply resonate with the listener.
The lyrics vividly portray a woman’s determination to persevere so she won’t lose to the challenges of a long-distance relationship.
Even if she puts on a brave face, the truth is that it’s painful—an emotion many women can likely relate to.
In a distant townMiyazawa Kazufumi
“Tooi Machi de” (In a Distant Town) is a song included on Kazufumi Miyazawa of THE BOOM’s solo album “Sixteenth Moon,” released in 1998.
It’s a track that conveys a mature long-distance romance, quietly thinking of and watching over the other person from afar.
long-distance posterAKB48
It’s a bright, upbeat love song sung by the idol group AKB48.
Long-distance relationships can often make both people feel very lonely, but listening to this track might lift your spirits a little and help you feel calmer.
The content is rather unique: it overlaps the feelings of someone who has fallen in love with an idol in a poster—someone they can’t meet directly—with the emotions of a long-distance relationship.
Still, as you listen, the very positive lyrics are sure to give you energy.
Distance of the Starry SkyTHE ALFEE
The lyrics portray someone thinking from afar about a person they’ve already broken up with, capturing not only the physical distance but also the emotional gap that has opened between them.
Despite the theme, the song has a rather intense tempo and leaves a strong impression.
It’s a signature track by THE ALFEE, a band that has been active for over 40 years and is becoming a living legend.
