Hirai Dai / tonight (HIRAIDAI LIVE TOUR 2017 at Tokyo International Forum LIVE)

It’s a slightly more mature-sounding track.

I’d recommend it to men who love surfing.

The laid-back ballad makes you want to listen by the sea.

If you listen while thinking of someone dear, it might make your chest ache.

It’s a real tearjerker.

Karakuri Pierrot40mP

[Hatsune Miku (40mP)] Karakuri Pierrot [Original]

If you’re looking for a Vocaloid unrequited-love song, “Karakuri Pierrot” is highly recommended.

Its lyrics capture the pain of falling for someone and the frustration of wanting to confess but being unable to, so anyone with a crush is sure to relate.

It’s also a karaoke classic, so try singing it to blow off some steam!

DISH// – Cat [Official Live Video 2019]

This is a song about lingering feelings for a love you let go of yourself.

The lyrics and music were written by the popular singer-songwriter Aimyon.

The protagonist’s regret—realizing how much their lover meant as the world seems to fade right after the breakup—is something high schoolers who’ve split up over small arguments or misunderstandings can’t help but relate to.

That aching wish to see the person you love in any way possible is an emotion many people with unrequited feelings share.

It’s a track that became quite the topic of conversation, so please give it a listen.

Just… I miss youEXILE

EXILE / I Just... Want to See You - Short version -

The song I feel like listening to with someone I love is EXILE’s “Tada… Aitakute” (“I Just Want to See You”).

It’s a track about someone you love dearly whom you can no longer meet.

You can really feel how precious that person is to the singer.

The song’s romantic, bittersweet atmosphere also makes the emotions in the lyrics feel even more real.

It’s great to listen to alone when you’re feeling wistful about someone you love, and it’s also worth gathering your courage and listening to it together with the person you like—you might just get your feelings across!

GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE / Unrequited Love

There’s something special about unrequited love during our school days, isn’t there? GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE perfectly captures those bittersweet feelings.

Released in November 2013, this song portrays a pure kind of love—where just seeing the person you like looking downcast can make your whole day feel dull.

You try striking up a conversation to ask what they thought of a movie, but can’t find anything more to say… You know that frustrating feeling, right? The clear, airy vocals gently wrap around the delicate emotions of high school students.

It’s a recommended track for anyone who wants to feel both the sweetness and the ache of unrequited love.

Too Dear (duet with Tiara)KG

KG / Too Beloved (duet with Tiara)

This track is a one-sided love song I’d especially recommend to men.

Its lyrics are so heartrending and relatable that you might find yourself in tears.

Many people may already know it, but as a classic unrequited love song, it’s a favorite among male listeners.
