Ulfuls – Ee nen

This song really lifts me up whenever I’m going through something tough or feeling lonely.

Many of Ulfuls’ songs have upbeat lyrics, but this one stands out as exceptionally bright among them.

It’s sure to leave you feeling like, “Well, it’s okay.”

I like you, but it seems you don’t really like me.back number38rank/position

Bokuwa Kiminokotoga Sukidakedo Kimiwa Bokuo Betsuni Sukijyanaimitai

A quintessential back number love song that distills the pain of unrequited love right into its title.

It’s a track from the album “Chandelier,” released in December 2015.

With plain, direct lyrics, it draws the gap between a wholehearted devotion to someone and the reality that those feelings don’t reach them.

Even while realizing that your world revolves around that person, you’re not someone special to them—that frustrating ache hits hard.

It’s a song you’ll want to hear if you’re in a one-sided love or struggling because the person you like won’t look your way.

So, you are not alone.Little Glee Monster39rank/position

Little Glee Monster “So, You’re Not Alone” Music Video Short Ver.

It’s an energetic, feel-good song by Little Glee Monster—aka Litoguri.

No one can listen to this and not feel uplifted, so I highly recommend it! Isn’t it wonderful to think of even “tears” as fuel for positive thinking—believing that you can overcome sadness by crying it out?

Lefty Hand Cream - Full Cover of SMAP 'Orange'

A song by SMAP, the legendary five-member idol group whose fans’ hopes for a reunion have remained strong since their 2016 breakup.

Included as the B-side to “Lion Heart,” which became a massive hit as their 32nd single, this track is so popular that it’s often called “the most well-known B-side in Japan.” With lyrics that vividly evoke memories of someone dear and scenes of parting, and a melody that is both catchy and heartrending, it draws you into its world—perhaps a piece that feels even lonelier when listened to alone.

LiSA 『unlasting』 -MUSiC CLiP YouTube EDIT ver.-

Even after breaking up, there are times when you don’t want to forget the other person—you want to stay connected forever.

And you find yourself wishing for their happiness.

The build-up from the quiet verse to the chorus gives you strength.

This is a ballad especially recommended for anyone who wants to infuse energy into their heart.
