Love Song Ballads (31–40)
YOU… feat. Izumi Nakasone (HY)Kato Miria
Speaking of collaborations between powerhouse female singers, we can’t forget this song by Miliyah Kato and Izumi Nakasone of HY.
Based on real unrequited-love stories sent in by radio listeners, the two artists co-created this gem of a ballad.
Released in September 2014 as their 30th single, it was also included on the milestone 10th-anniversary album “MUSE.” The frustration of not being able to put your feelings into words, and the emotional wavering as you move toward confessing your love, come through poignantly in the harmony between Kato’s delicate vocals and Nakasone’s warm voice.
Chosen as the theme song for a radio drama, this track just might gently give you the push you need if you’re struggling with a one-sided love.
LONELYKatō Miriya feat. LANA
This is a track by Miliyah Kato—known for her realistic, highly relatable lyrics—teaming up with new-generation icon LANA.
The theme of the song is “loneliness.” It powerfully conveys the honest feeling of “I’m not okay” hidden behind a brave front, and the earnest wish to simply have someone by your side.
Over a mellow beat crafted by KM, the emotional vocals of Miliyah Kato blend with LANA’s cool flow, stirring the heart.
Released in July 2024, the song also drew attention as a collaboration between a Heisei-era gal and a Reiwa-era gal.
On nights when you feel alone, this song, which seems to speak on your behalf, will surely stay gently by your side.
I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. chū-tan
The song “Sukicchuu no!” by HoneyWorks and Chuutan.
Compared to the previous track “Kawaikute Gomen,” it gives a calmer impression, but in turn it’s unified by an easy-to-sing vocal line.
The standout charm of this piece is, above all, its languid cuteness.
While the range is slightly high at mid2B to hiC, it’s relatively narrow for a female-vocal song.
Within that compact range, the skillful use of dynamics and melodic rises and falls clearly expresses femininity and cuteness.
It’s a top-tier example of a singable and adorable tune, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.
Specially, do it.＝LOVE
=LOVE is an idol group produced by Rino Sashihara.
The group’s name is read as “Equal Love.” They embody the classic idol style Sashihara honed in AKB and HKT, and all their songs project a traditional sense of femininity.
Among them, “Tokubechu, Shite” is a number packed with cuteness.
The highest note is hi F, but that’s in the harmony; the actual highest note sits at hi D#.
As long as the key is adjusted, women in their teens through their 30s should have no trouble singing it.
Combined with its cute lyrics, it tends to be well-received by men, so it should be a hit at mixers and similar gatherings.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
glowing madder-redAimer
A heartbreaking ballad that feels like it could be the very origin of Aimer.
It’s a song I secretly want to practice and perform in front of everyone.
The breakup can also be read as “we parted ways, but it was a necessary step for the next encounter,” and that kind of heartache is what makes a girl endlessly strong… it’s so bittersweet.
Just watching the music video, where she keeps walking along an orange-lit riverside, brings tears to my eyes.
It was also used as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s anime Natsume’s Book of Friends Go.
It’s truly a great song that won’t let heartbreak get you down!

hard mode girlfriendnyamura
In 2023, an artist who brought a fresh breeze to the music scene is nyamura.
Drawing particular attention is her debut single “Hard Mode Kanojo,” released on March 25.
Though the song has a relaxed tempo, its content—where love and madness seem to collide—has become a hot topic.
Her vocals have a cute, anime-like quality, yet the lyrics reveal a slightly darker side.
That contrast may unlock new charms when sung by a woman.
How about singing it in front of the person you’re interested in and delivering a surprise that might just steal their heart?
I want to become a ghost.Yuika
Sung over a breezy sound, it’s a devoted—if a little heavy—love that wishes to become the ghost of the one they adore.
Yuika, whose realistic emotional expression resonates with many, delivers complex feelings of love with a clear, translucent voice.
Lyrics that express the ache of wanting to be close but unable to touch through unique metaphors are sure to make many listeners’ hearts skip a beat.
Released in July 2025, this track was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime “Wataru-kun no XX ga Hōkai Sunzen.” If straight love songs leave you wanting more, this might fit perfectly with that frustrating, bittersweet feeling.
