Don’t you find that songs written by men from a woman’s perspective can be surprisingly on target and hit you where it hurts? Masaharu Fukuyama’s 2009 release “Nagareboshi” depicts the inner turmoil of a protagonist who’s trying not to fall in love.

There are men everywhere who, despite being married or already having a girlfriend, act in a suggestive, leading way.

By the time you start telling yourself “I mustn’t fall for him” or “There’s no way I’ll get serious,” you’re already in too deep.

Even so, it’s a song many of us relate to, portraying a heroine who’s determined to face reality and avoid getting hurt—trying not to break anything or be a burden on anyone, all while being bravely steadfast.
