wacci “I Became Someone Else’s Girlfriend” Music Video

This song, with a title that grabs you right away—“I Became Someone Else’s Girlfriend”—is a love song written from a woman’s perspective to her ex, about how she now has a new boyfriend.

She brags about her current boyfriend, but she keeps comparing him to her ex, and you can feel how big her feelings for her ex still are, how much she hasn’t moved on.

It makes you want to say, “If you like him that much, why did you get a new boyfriend?!” But there’s also a wish in there to cut off those lingering feelings by hoping her ex will find a new girlfriend soon, too.

Love is complicated, isn’t it?

Ra, a storyaimyon

What If…

I think Aimyon has many love songs that are easy to relate to, and I also recommend “Ra, no Hanashi.” It was used as an insert song in the film “Ashita Sekai ga Owaru to Shite mo” (Even if the World Ends Tomorrow) and was included on the album “Shunkanteki Sixth Sense.” When you fall in love, you can’t help but imagine all sorts of “what if we…” scenarios with the person you like, right? This song is filled with those “what if…” feelings.

It’s a track that makes you want to listen while thinking of someone you love.

Because I fell in loveaimyon

Aimyon “Because I Fell in Love” Studio Recording Scene

Loved across generations, Aimyon is especially popular among young women.

As the title suggests, her song “Koi wo Shita Kara” (“Because I Fell in Love”) poignantly expresses the feelings of a woman in love.

Love songs suit Aimyon perfectly—likely because her own experiences and genuine emotions are reflected in her music, and that sincerity comes through clearly to listeners.

This track, too, powerfully conveys the emotions of being in love and the many things that become visible because of that love—so vividly you can almost reach out and touch them.

To Those Who Know the Blue of the Skyaimyon

Aimyon – A Person Who Knows the Blue of the Sky [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

A bittersweet youth love song filled with yearning.

Inspired by a film, Aimyon paints a track that conveys the ache of unrequited love alongside a faint glimmer of hope.

Released as a single in October 2019, it drew attention as the theme song for an animated movie of the same name.

The lyrics evoke a nostalgic look back at a love that has passed, gently wrapping you in feelings of heartache that everyone has experienced.

It’s perfect for high school students who want to listen while thinking of someone they like.

It’s great for quietly listening alone, and also for sharing with friends to reminisce about your youth.

Blueberry Nightsmakaroni enpitsu

Macaroni Empitsu 'Blueberry Nights' MV

Blueberry Nights is a song by the four-piece rock band Macaroni Enpitsu that packs pop sensibilities with a tinge of heartbreak.

It captures the kind of spiraling thoughts and emotional loops common in love—especially unrequited love.

Rather than the fluttery excitement of a crush, the lyrics read more like a song about lingering attachment—a slightly dark unrequited love song that conveys a desire to start over and a sense of regret.

It really evokes that feeling of remembering something in the middle of the night and getting stuck in a loop of thoughts—yeah, we’ve all been there.
