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
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!
Unrequited loveGENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE
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
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.
Hey,SHISHAMO
The refreshing rock number “Nee,” so typical of SHISHAMO, is truly a song about unrequited love.
It captures the feelings of a girl who wants to confess, and you can really feel how hopelessly in love she is! Confessing is something you do for yourself—many people were probably struck by that one line in the lyrics.
Feelings that won’t be noticed unless you put them into words can only be conveyed by mustering the courage to speak up.
If you want to confess but can’t find the courage, listen to this song and let it give you strength.
Take that step for your own happiness—cheering you on!
MyraTani Yuuki
The love song “Myra,” which could be called singer-songwriter Tani Yuuki’s signature track, is a poignant piece about a man savoring a fleeting moment of happiness just before a breakup.
He knows his lover’s feelings have drifted away, yet as long as she’s asleep, he can still feel happy… Please, just don’t wake up for a little longer.
It’s a tear-jerking wish to cling to.
If you’re facing a love you know you have to let go of, this song is for you.
It’s a sad but timeless masterpiece that captures a single-minded devotion so pure it brings you to tears.
PrologueUru
This song, “Prologue,” whose translucent vocals perfectly match lyrics about falling in love, was the theme song for the 2018 TV drama “Chugakusei Nikki” (Diary of a Middle School Teacher).
The drama portrays a forbidden love in which a female junior high school teacher is admired by a male student, and the song’s connection to the storyline made it indispensable to the show’s emotional arc.
It’s a track that conveys, from the depths of the heart, feelings that can’t be stopped—emotions for someone that overflow even when you try not to think about them.
