[Mutual Crush Song] Stuck before confession, not quite lovers!? A love song capturing wavering emotions

We’ve put together a collection of songs themed around “mutual unrequited love”—that in-between state where both people know they like each other, but neither can confess, so it stays one-sided.

If they’re aware of each other’s feelings, they should just confess! You might think so, but instead they fret, get impatient, and keep hoping for some sign—“Could it be…?”—from the other person.

In this article, we introduce a variety of songs: from happy love songs that end with the couple finally getting together, to stories where they like each other but never start dating and it quietly ends as is.

Find the one song that resonates with you!

A beautiful collaborative piece by Matsuri and Takumi that sings of poignant scenes and an unattainable love.

Accompanied by skillful piano melodies, it’s a pure love story-song that wistfully asks, “If only I could go back to the past,” and longs for a love that has been lost.

That day you met, the kindness you shared, the tears you shed—precious memories are depicted in a way that tightens the chest and sinks deeply into the listener’s heart.

Released in November 2023, this work offers solace to those whose relationship with someone they loved has ended and who still can’t make sense of their feelings.

It’s a song you’ll want to keep close for quiet nights alone, when you’re ready to face the pain of love.
