Feeling in loveNishino Kana
A love song by Kana Nishino that portrays the struggles of two people who are more than friends but not quite lovers.
The secret feelings harbored for a longtime best friend are expressed with heartrending delicacy.
Even when the mind has given up, the heart can’t help but hold onto a faint hope—an emotion anyone who’s experienced unrequited love can relate to.
Featured on the album “with LOVE,” this track was released in November 2014 and captured the hearts of many listeners.
It’s a must-listen for anyone wavering between friendship and romance.
Give me a gentle kiss.DREAMS COME TRUE
Among DREAMS COME TRUE’s songs, this one has relatively short lyrics, but even within that brevity, the pain of an unfulfilled love comes through vividly.
Listening to it, you can sense a range of emotions poured into the music—sadness, anger at things that can’t be, and tenderness toward the person they care about.
Since the vocalist is a woman, you might assume it’s sung from a female perspective, but I believe that even for men, the feelings toward a woman are the same.
Thinking of youKEISUKE
This song, packed with the worries and inner conflicts of unrequited love, is one I especially want men who are going through it to hear.
The beautiful high notes over a piano accompaniment are a highlight, but what really stands out are the lyrics.
Any man will surely find himself relating to the story woven throughout.
You know in your head that this love won’t come true, but your heart won’t listen; you’re elated and crushed by her every word and action; you start to hate yourself for being that way…
Even so, the ending—where he resolves to face this love until he’s satisfied—hits you in the chest and makes you feel like you, too, can give it everything you’ve got.

A 100% pure love song about a first romance.
The lyrics are so cute they’ll make you smile without realizing it.
It carefully portrays the process of falling in love and conveys the happiness that comes with it.
When you fall in love, the gestures and quirks of someone who once seemed ordinary become endearing.
Even if you’re in tears over a crush right now, this song will remind you of how it felt when you first fell for someone.
I can’t say ‘I love you.’MAY’S
A quintessential tear-jerking unrequited love song.
It captures the bittersweet struggle of trying to hide your feelings when the person you like is starting to catch on.
From start to finish, it’s pure emotion.
You want to say you like them, but if your true feelings are revealed, you won’t be “just friends” anymore… The tug-of-war between wanting to confess and being afraid comes through painfully clearly.
I can’t listen to it without tears anymore.
