A little more, just a bit moreZARD
A song by ZARD about a love that cannot come true.
Even while knowing it’s a forbidden relationship, the protagonist finds herself wishing to be loved “just a little longer.” The song captures her emotions, and because the love is taboo, her earnest feelings resonate with a striking purity.
There’s an anecdote that Izumi Sakai, who also wrote the lyrics, felt saddened while singing it—an episode that speaks to the song’s poignancy.
Released in September 1993, this work compels deep reflection on the weight of unrequited love and the intensity of loving someone.
AloneMayo Okamoto
A gently woven ballad that carries hidden feelings along with a piano melody.
Released by Mayo Okamoto in November 1996, this song portrays the heartrending emotions of a woman whose boyfriend is taken by her close friend.
Though she puts on a brave face and smiles for those around her, she continues to carry loneliness in her heart.
The pain she feels upon glimpsing the couple by chance on a station platform, and her yearning not for sympathy but for true love, are expressed with delicate nuance.
This piece is a long-cherished ballad she had nurtured since before her debut.
It’s a song that quietly stays by the side of anyone trying to look forward while bearing the pain of heartbreak.
IenaiSoala
This song is filled with a sweet, heartrending sense of love.
It delicately portrays the feelings of a woman struggling with the conflict of being unable to express her emotions—of being unable to say what she wants to say.
Soala’s gentle vocals further highlight the melancholy.
Released in August 2022 and included on the album “LOVE,” this track resonates deeply with those troubled by one-sided love.
It’s a song I especially recommend to anyone who can’t be honest with the person they like and feels the frustration of not being able to convey their feelings well.
I can’t sayiri
This song poignantly expresses feelings that have been quietly harbored in the heart.
The lyrics, woven in a calm, narrative tone, let the frustration of emotions that cannot be conveyed seep through.
The protagonist’s inability to accept reality is further highlighted by the softly tinted sound.
Released by iri in November 2020, the track is included on the album “Sparkle.” When you’re troubled by a love you can’t tell anyone about, this song will stay close to those feelings and gently resonate with the “words” hidden deep in your heart.
Leading someone on is a serious offense!arekunn
This song depicts the heartache of an unrequited crush tossed around by someone’s teasing behavior, all through a comedic lens.
Its lyrics capture a racing heartbeat, affection for the other person, and mounting frustration, resonating deeply with listeners.
Showcasing Are-kun’s unique expressive style, the track gained buzz after its September 2023 release, especially on social media, with numerous TikTok videos using parts of the song.
It’s recommended for anyone troubled by a crush’s mixed signals or feeling the frustration of unrequited love.
The relatable lyrics will encourage and uplift you.
Love’s Melody and Rainy SkiesAAA
This song depicts the frustration and inner turmoil of having someone you love but not being able to say the simple words “I like you.” Even if you confess, it may not come true; the feelings are so serious that you can’t express them.
People who are in love will surely find this very relatable, won’t they?
