Bittersweet love songs to listen to when the person you like already has a boyfriend or girlfriend (61–70)
AloneMayo Okamoto

A gently woven ballad that carries hidden feelings along with a piano melody.
Released by Mayo Okamoto in November 1996, this song portrays the heartrending emotions of a woman whose boyfriend is taken by her close friend.
Though she puts on a brave face and smiles for those around her, she continues to carry loneliness in her heart.
The pain she feels upon glimpsing the couple by chance on a station platform, and her yearning not for sympathy but for true love, are expressed with delicate nuance.
This piece is a long-cherished ballad she had nurtured since before her debut.
It’s a song that quietly stays by the side of anyone trying to look forward while bearing the pain of heartbreak.
In conclusion
I introduced some love songs I want you to listen to when you’re going through a tough time. Do you feel a little lighter now? Anger and sadness are both very painful, but we have to overcome them ourselves. Once you’ve found some closure, please don’t be afraid to look for your next love—with the hopeful feeling that you’ll be much happier than you are now.
