Love and UMEGA SHINNOSUKE
This is a bittersweet love song about feelings for someone you admire.
The protagonist falls for a woman he meets at his part-time job at a Chinese restaurant, but because of his shy nature, he can’t confess his feelings and only watches her through the glasses he’s polishing.
The way his heart wavers between pure love and desire is vividly portrayed.
Its unique sound—blending UK rock with J-pop—is also captivating.
Released in June 2024, the song became a hot topic on social media and gained popularity especially among young people, surpassing 100 million views on TikTok.
It’s a recommended track for anyone who wants to resonate with the ache of unrequited love.
Cracked Worldmajiko
This is a song by the singer-songwriter majiko, whose work as a cover singer drew attention and sparked her popularity.
Released in 2019, it was used as the theme song for the drama “Genkai Danchi.” The powerful, high-intensity vocals in the chorus are remarkable.
The song’s structure, which conveys both motion and stillness, is also captivating.
The lyrics depict a love so straightforward it’s almost frightening—one that says, no matter what happens, I will never let you go.
You let me do as I please, and yet…arekunn
Even while sensing how selfish the person you love can be, you still can’t bring yourself to hate them—that bittersweet feeling is captured in “You’re the One Who Made Me Fall for You.” This song, which went viral on social media and became a major hit, is a love song that conveys the frustrating feeling of “I know it in my head, but…”.
Sung by a male voice from a woman’s perspective, it’s achingly poignant and hits you right in the heart.
Beyond the lyrics themselves, the vocals heighten the sadness to the point that many listeners will surely be moved to tears.
It’s a track that feels like you’re questioning your own feelings.
Menhera – 2019 ver –Mioyamazaki

The track is by the four-piece rock band MIOYAMAZAKI and is included on their 2019 album “Jaa Dou Yattara Aishite Kurendayo” (“So How Do I Make You Love Me?”).
It’s the 2019 version of a song they’ve been performing since their indie days.

You more than anyone elseMidorikawa Shobō
It’s a song about a woman who stalks the guy she likes—she knows where he works part-time, his hometown address, even the girls he’s dated.
She’s aware he doesn’t know who she is, yet she’s utterly convinced they can get married.
In a way, that’s very positive, right? (lol) If she can devote that much time to him, I’d love to see her try a straightforward approach, but maybe she’s scared because the girls he dates are the complete opposite of her.
HitchcockYorushika
A song filled with questions about life and living—Hitchcock.
It’s a track by Yorushika, a band consisting of composer n-buna and singer suis, included on their 2018 album, “No Encore for the Lost.” You can almost hear the anguished cry of a girl who wonders whether there’s any meaning in living when she feels neither happiness nor purpose, who doesn’t know what to do or how to keep going.
Diary of a SchoolgirlMakabe Jaku-shitsu
A single where aching yearning and precarious obsession intersect.
Released in July 2024, this ambitious work offers a modern reinterpretation of early-Showa-era schoolgirl culture.
Set against nostalgic scenes like sailor uniforms and covered walkways, it delicately portrays a schoolgirl’s single-minded feelings and inner conflict, tracing her admiration for a teacher as it gradually warps into maddened passion, and carefully weaving the subtle shifts of emotion up to their eventual parting.
Blending poignancy with madness, this piece captivates many and stands as a soul-stirring song that stays close to the hearts of those pained and troubled by love.
