To you who don’t need love songsKaneyori Masaru
A romantic song by Kaneyori Masaru that stays true to love while rejecting typical love songs.
On the surface, it’s directed at someone who claims to dislike love songs, yet it’s filled with a hope that a song about love will still resonate with their heart.
Released in January 2024 and included on the album “Namiutsu Kokoro o Mochinagara” (With a Heart That Ripples), this track comes from the band gaining attention for the film 17 Is Unstoppable’s theme song, “GIRL AND.” It’s a bittersweet piece overflowing with tender longing—perfect for those who struggle to express their feelings directly.
Recommended not only for teenage and twenty-something women wrestling with love, but also for adults who find it hard to be honest, including men.
Blueberry Nightsmakaroni enpitsu
This song weaves lyrics about a love that wants to believe in love but just can’t—a heart that’s already half resigned.
It’s by the Kanagawa-born rock band Macaroni Enpitsu, included on their second album “hope,” released in 2020.
The sound design is striking, catchy yet tinged with shadow.
The chorus melody is one you’ll find yourself humming before you know it.
“I want you to go somewhere, but I don’t want you to go anywhere”—that contradictory view of love is something many can relate to.
Listen to it late at night and it might just bring you to tears.

Pure Love SongShonan no Kaze
A quintessential powerhouse love song, Shonan no Kaze’s “Junrenka” is a must for any mutual-love playlist! Since its 2006 release, it’s been a beloved classic.
Calling it a fateful encounter might feel a bit embarrassing, but this is the love song of love songs, earnestly chronicling the “love” nurtured from such a meeting.
Romance isn’t just about yourself, so clashes and misunderstandings happen—but precisely because it isn’t only about you, you also get to feel the warmth of caring for the other person.
Even if the shape of your relationship changes from how it was at the start, I hope you’ll listen to this with the person you want to stay with forever.

Just because you’re in mutual love doesn’t mean you’re happy all the time.
I’m sure many people actually feel more heartache and anxiety after becoming a couple.
This song, “Yui,” captures those feelings in a way that makes you go, “I get it!”—it’s a track that sings about real, relatable emotions in love.
Sung from the perspective of a slightly shy and negative boy, it’s a number that men in similar situations will relate to a lot, and one that will make women’s hearts flutter too.
It feels fresh and innocent, yet it’s a mutual-love song that leaves you feeling relieved in the end.

Even when two people are in love, I think it’s inevitable that they’ll experience a period of monotony when they’re in a relationship.
At times like that, listening to this song can make you realize the happiness of mutual love and how precious your partner is.
I think it’s also nice for couples to listen to it together and reaffirm their love.
One Lovearashi
I’m moved by the lyrics in which a couple who love each other pledge to stay happy from now on.
I can picture a couple who are truly in love and have been together.
The sound is also wonderful, composed of beautiful piano tones that seem to reflect the two of them.
