When you’re feeling jealous, love songs that help you be honest with your feelings (1–10)
bouquetback number
When it comes to love songs, back number is a name that always comes up.
Their song “Hanataba” is the band’s second single, released in 2011.
The song opens like a conversation between a couple, and from the male perspective it’s filled with lines that make your heart flutter—the kind of words many women would love to hear, the kind of feelings they’d love someone to have for them.
Rather than emphasizing a firm bond or anything too heavy, it gently paints a hazy yet hopeful vision of the future—letting you imagine a happy couple ahead.
Our world for twoaimyon
Aimyon is loved by a wide range of generations, but she has especially many female fans around her age, and plenty have become hooked on her love songs.
The track “Futari no Sekai” is a love song packed with Aimyon’s charm, included on her first album, “Seishun no Excitement,” released in 2017.
It’s a realistic song that anyone who’s been in love can relate to with an “I get that” feeling.
When you’re being tossed around by that indescribable emotion called jealousy, this sense of realism will really hit home.
EverythingMISIA
MISIA, a songstress who burst onto the scene in the late 1990s with overwhelming vocal and expressive power, possesses a true grounding in authentic Black music that transcends the bounds of J-pop.
Among the many classics she has continued to sing since her 1998 debut, Everything, released as a single in 2000 and a monumental hit in J-pop history, remains an eternal ballad beloved even in the Reiwa era.
Guided by the elegant strings performed by violinist Chieko Kinbara, MISIA’s voice unfurls with a resonance that feels as if it could echo across the world, washing away any lingering haze of emotion.
By the time the song ends, you’ll likely have reconnected with feelings that are pure and beautiful.
Cinnamon DreamsFukuhara Miho
Miho Fukuhara is a singer-songwriter whose powerful yet beautiful voice captivates listeners.
Her song “Cinnamon Dreams” portrays a form of jealousy where the woman holds the upper hand.
While songs about jealousy often lean dark and bitter, this one conveys a woman’s composure—she’s almost choosing to be cleverly deceived.
There’s no direct anger or festering grudge here, which in a way might be the scariest of all (laughs).
A Little Love SongMONGOL800
MONGOL800 is a hugely popular punk band born in Okinawa.
Formed in 1998 by members who were still in high school during the heyday of so-called melodic hardcore, one of their signature songs, “Chiisana Koi no Uta” (A Little Love Song), served as the lead track on their second album MESSAGE—an indie release that achieved an astounding 2.78 million in sales.
Back then, along with the album’s other lead track, “Anata ni,” it was literally playing everywhere you went in town.
The stripped-down, no-frills band ensemble, lyrics filled with the frank feelings of kids barely in their twenties, and the rough-hewn vocals and choruses that shape the melody all remind you, just by listening, of the importance of honest and pure love.
May it be filled with kindnessJUJU
This song, Yasashisa de Afureru Youni, is one of JUJU’s signature tracks.
Released in 2009 as her ninth single, it’s a classic that many artists have covered.
It’s a love song with a somewhat mature feel, yet it resonates somewhere in the heart of anyone who listens—a love song in the broadest, most universal sense.
It’s a track that wraps you in a pure, expansive love, and as you listen, you might start to feel that your own jealousy is just foolish.
knot; tie; bind; concludeSaucy Dog
This song is packed with an incredible amount of “I love you” — Saucy Dog’s Musubi.
Released as a digital single in March 2020, it’s also included on the mini-album Take Me.
It’s a love song from the perspective of a slightly anxious man, and the blend of worry and insecurity that comes from loving someone too much feels very real.
The lyrics occasionally look back on the days when they first met, and perhaps revisiting those initial feelings—returning to where it all began—could be a good thing.
