Mutual Love Songs Recommended for Men (11–20)

I love youback number

Back number is a three-piece rock band formed in 2004.

Known for their straightforward lyrics, the band released “I Love You” in 2022, a wonderful love song that also serves as the theme for NHK’s morning drama series “Maiagare!” The song features a highly appealing sound with strings, perfectly matched by vocalist Iyori Shimizu’s earnest singing, and it naturally brings tears to your eyes as you listen.

It’s highly recommended for anyone who wants an uplifting yet slightly bittersweet song about mutual love.

Macaroni Enpitsu is a four-piece rock band formed in Kanagawa Prefecture in 2012.

Their digital-only single “Nandemonai yo,” released in 2021, became a massive hit, surpassing 100 million streams.

The song portrays the complex feelings of a man who wants to express his feelings to a woman but, out of shyness, ends up swallowing his words.

Its deliberately unadorned, down-to-earth choice of words is likely to bring listeners to tears.

Pure Love SongShonan no Kaze

Shonan no Kaze is a reggae group formed in Kanagawa Prefecture in 2001.

Their song “Junrenka” (Pure Love Song), as the title suggests, is a mutual-love song written in unadorned words about pure love.

In that it weaves together everyday, diary-like moments—such as “I couldn’t help falling in love at first sight with a woman who matched my ideal image”—piece by piece like a jigsaw puzzle into a single song, it could well be called the ultimate love song.

The lyrics, written without flashy phrasing and in a true-to-life voice, are sure to resonate with listeners’ everyday feelings toward someone important, moving their hearts.

Ulfuls is a Japanese rock band formed in 1988 that debuted in 1992, known for Tortoise Matsumoto’s powerful, passionate vocals.

“Banzai ~Suki de Yokatta~” is their 10th single, released in 1996.

It was used as the theme song for a Fuji TV drama and became a major hit following their previous single, “Guts da ze!!”.

With its simple structure and emotionally direct lyrics, the song remains beloved today and is often played at weddings.

I LOVE YOUOzaki Yutaka

When it comes to 90s Japanese love songs, I bet many people think of this one.

It’s one of singer-songwriter Yutaka Ozaki’s signature tracks, released in 1991 as his 11th single.

Although it should be a song about two people in love, perhaps because of the melody and his fragile vocals, it feels like you can glimpse a sad story behind it.

This is exactly what it means when something “pierces your heart.” Even long after its release, it remains hugely popular at karaoke—a true classic among classics.

This is a song by Gen Hoshino that became a major hit, partly because it was chosen as the theme song for the drama “We Married as a Job” (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu).

Its light, uplifting sound—tinged with elements of soul and funk—is especially striking.

The lyrics depict a form of love that anyone can relate to: affection that grows through the accumulation of everyday life, and a bond between two people that has become so strong it can no longer be captured by the ordinary word “married couple.” It’s a piece that powerfully conveys feelings of happiness.

What I want to conveyAbe Mao

It’s not explicitly stated, but judging from the lyrics, it’s probably a song about a couple who are dating, or two people who have mutual feelings but aren’t together yet.

I recommend it to people who usually have a hard time expressing what they want to say.
