MapleŌmori Motoki
A heartwarming duet by Motoki Omori that gently embraces both the ache and joy of a long-distance relationship.
Sung by Omori, the vocalist of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, it’s included on his solo digital EP “Midnight,” released in August 2021.
Featuring a memorable back-and-forth with Miku Motomatsu, the song was also chosen as the theme for ABEMA’s dating show “Ashita mo Suki de Ite, Ii Desu ka?” With delicate lyrics, it portrays the complex emotions of lovers who think of each other despite the distance.
It’s a recommended track not only for those in long-distance relationships but also for anyone who wants to reaffirm their bond with someone special.
Zutto (feat. HAN-KUN & TEE)SPICY CHOCOLATE
“Zutto,” created through the collaboration of Tokyo sound system SPICY CHOCOLATE, active since 1994, and HANKUN, vocalist from Shonan no Kaze, delivers a candid love sentiment over a laid-back riddim.
Unlike the hardcore, raggamuffin style of Jamaican reggae, HANKUN’s sweet vocal tone leans heavily toward J-pop and kayōkyoku, making it a soft, easy-to-listen-to and easy-to-sing-along track that suits Japanese vocal qualities.

bookmarkLefty Hand Cream
She made her major debut in January 2020, and “Shiori,” the first song for which she wrote the lyrics, has drawn attention.
The lyrics recall the days when a lover—now far away—was always by one’s side, and depict a bond that grows stronger despite the distance.
People in long-distance relationships will likely relate.
Her sweet voice makes it all the more stirring.
To you who are going far awayAbsolute area
A three-piece band, Absolute area, a rising favorite on the indie scene, delivers a poignant long-distance love song.
Many listeners may relate to the bittersweet feelings of watching a loved one take off in pursuit of their dreams.
Though they don’t know when they’ll meet again, the song affirms their faith in that day.
Song of the WheelsBUMP OF CHICKEN
Having to be separated from the one you love… I think that’s the greatest trial in a long-distance relationship.
BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Sharin no Uta” centers on memories with a loved one through the motif of a bicycle and sings about being apart from that special person.
And yet, when I listen to this song, I somehow feel calm.
I’m wrapped in BUMP’s own kind of kindness.
Milky Wayaiko
Because you can hardly ever meet in a long-distance relationship, the time you spend with the one you love feels all the more precious, doesn’t it? “Amanogawa” by the queen of love songs, aiko, is a track that makes you rediscover how special those moments with your partner are.
When you’re together, you don’t let a single moment slip by—you etch it into your heart; when you’re apart, you recall and reflect on the time you spent together again and again.
In this way, your time with that person becomes something precious and irreplaceable, whether you’re together or far apart.
Wherever you areONE OK ROCK
ONE OK ROCK’s “Wherever you are,” which became a major talking point after being featured in a DOCOMO commercial, was actually used in the ad five years after the release of the album “Niche Syndrome,” on which the song appears.
Hugely popular at weddings, the song straightforwardly expresses the feeling of cherishing a loved one forever, no matter where they are.
The love-filled melody, delivered in vocalist Taka’s husky voice, really pierces the heart.
It’s a great choice to send to a long-distance partner to convey just how deeply you feel about them, even amid the uncertainties.
