Hanako Oku - Older Boyfriend

Okahashi Hana’s “Toshiue no Kare” (Older Boyfriend) is a song that lays bare her straightforward feelings for an older man.

Its poignant lyrics look back on the time when her attempts to approach that calm, older boyfriend kept missing the mark, while also reflecting on herself now that she’s the same age he was then.

The line about how she couldn’t match him in anything except the strength of her feelings is especially heart-tugging.

Why not listen to this song and let it take you back to memories of your own older love?
