Love is enviable.Nogizaka 4658rank/position
It portrays envy and resignation as we watch others’ relationships without ever being able to express our own feelings.
Included on the 41st single, “When Was the Last Time You Raced Up the Stairs?” releasing in April 2026, it was pre-released in March 2026.
It’s an Under track with 5th-gen member Hina Okamoto as center.
Despite its bittersweet theme, the sound is an up-tempo pop tune with a forward-driving momentum, and that contrast is part of its appeal.
Recommended for times when you want to stay positive and keep pushing on, even while carrying frustrating emotions.
I can’t be honest.Organic Call59rank/position
A heartwarming rock number by Organic Call that expresses the feelings of someone who can’t honestly convey their emotions to the one they love, through delicate melodies and poetic lyrics.
It portrays the struggle of knowing what to do but being unable to act, the courage to move forward while carrying feelings that could be buried in everyday life, and has resonated with many listeners.
Released digitally in October 2024, the song was crafted by band member Shinya Hirata, who infused it with the difficulty and preciousness of expressing one’s feelings.
It’s a perfect anthem for those who keep their love for someone important close to their heart, and for those who want to change and become more straightforward.
neonCity Your City60rank/position
“neon” is a track by City Your City, a Japanese unit whose music is based on overseas electronic sounds like future bass and EDM.
Released in 2015 as their second single, it’s captivating for its uniquely clipped, almost broken Japanese-style vocals and its polished production.
The lyrics are written from a woman’s perspective, depicting a relationship kept at arm’s length—while still expressing the emptiness and loneliness that come with it.
If you’re questioning your relationship with someone, why not give “neon” a listen and reconsider things?
