My name is Unrequited Loveindigo la End
This is a song by indigo la End that portrays a heartrending unrequited love beginning with love at first sight.
Set to a lively mid-tempo track crafted by Enon Kawatani in January 2023, it sings of the protagonist’s complex emotions after falling for someone of the same sex.
While feeling the pain of social prejudice and unspoken pressures, the story tightens the chest as the protagonist suppresses their own feelings for the sake of the other person’s happiness.
It’s a song that will resonate with those who, having fallen in love, lose sight of themselves yet can do nothing but carry those feelings, as well as those struggling with a love they can’t tell anyone about.
I stillmilet
This is a heartbreak song that sings of a poignant, aching love.
It’s common to look back and think, “If I had never met you, maybe I wouldn’t have been hurt this much…” But that’s the thing about love—you can’t just stop yourself there.
The more you try to forget, the more that person lingers in your mind, and perhaps all you can do is wait for time to heal it.
This piece was written as the theme song for the film “Shiranai Kanojo” (“Unknown Girlfriend”).
Together with this work—where milet takes on her first-ever role as a heroine—it is sure to resonate with the hearts of many.
Like a loversamezame
Samezame’s “Like Lovers” is a ballad that evokes unrequited and forbidden love.
The protagonist must have known she wouldn’t be loved in return, yet couldn’t suppress her feelings for him.
Though it isn’t stated outright and the song ends neatly, it comes across like a dig at the person important to him—saying, “He loved me this much.”
