[GUMI] Thinking of You, One-Sided Love [Original] / Takanon [Official]
Thinking of you, unrequited loveTakanon

This is a bittersweet love song about realizing you’re in love and feeling like you’ve grown closer, only to find out the other person likes someone else and end up heartbroken.

It was released in 2011 by the Vocaloid producer Takanon, also known for the hall-of-fame classics “The Color of the Next Blooming Flower” and “Datte Datte Datte.” You can’t help but cry when you think about how all the time you were so excited for is about to turn into something painful.

At the end of the song, the protagonist decides to put a lid on their own feelings and cheer the other person on…

It’s just too heartbreaking.

If you’re in love with someone you can’t be with, please give it a listen.
