Many people find themselves listening to Tadakimi ni Hare over and over, tied to unforgettable love.

It’s a hit song by Yorushika, a rock band popular among younger listeners, and was included on their 2020 release, An Encore Is Not Necessary for Underdogs.

While the track has a very fresh, pop sound, the lyrics are bittersweet, about turning a love that’s come to an end into a cherished memory and moving forward.

High school students whose paths diverge from someone they have a crush on might find a lot to relate to.

Give it a listen and let it give you the courage to confess your feelings.

It’s not just something that happens in anime or dramas—some of you might have actually fallen for the same person as a friend, told them you’d support them while hiding your own feelings.

When it’s sprung on you suddenly, it’s understandable to feel unable to confess, yet you also can’t bring yourself to tell your friend or your crush how you feel.

It’s a helpless, brooding emotion, but here it’s expressed with truly straightforward, pure sincerity.

It’s a song that will resonate with anyone who’s had the same experience.

There are times when unrequited love makes you feel mentally worn down.

It’s even harder when the person you like already has someone they love or is in a relationship.

That’s when I want you to listen to this song: Miliyah Kato’s “Aitai.” Released in 2009, this track has maintained strong popularity—even being featured on THE FIRST TAKE in 2021.

That shows just how many people have had their hearts moved by it.

Feelings that won’t come true, no matter how strongly you wish—when simply carrying them hurts, try listening to this song.

The person I like already likes someone else.

If you found that out, what would you do? Singer-songwriter Hanako Oku’s 2005 release “Unrequited Love” is a heartbreaking song that captures the feelings of a woman who just can’t give up, even after learning that the person she loves loves someone else.

You can’t help but relate to the delicate hope that he’ll turn around and notice her someday.

For anyone who’s had the same experience, it might feel like your chest is being squeezed.

It’s an achingly poignant song.

Ken Hirai’s “Hitomi wo Tojite” was written as the theme song for Toho’s blockbuster 2004 film “Crying Out Love in the Center of the World.” It reached No.

2 on the Oricon Singles Chart, sold over a million copies, and finished at No.

1 on the year-end chart for 2004.

It’s a classic that has been covered by many artists, including Ayaka.

The lyrics, about spending each day thinking of a lover you can no longer meet unless you close your eyes, intertwine with the film’s story to heighten the poignancy.
