Love thief.Yuika
Its relaxed, sweet vocals and lyrics that depict a girl whose head is full of love for an older classmate leave a strong impression! It’s a cute love song sung by Yuika, a singer-songwriter active mainly on YouTube and TikTok.
Many people have experienced being captivated the moment their eyes met, unconsciously following their crush with their gaze, or feeling their heart race just from hearing their laughter.

He wasn’t my type at all—I was exasperated by how unreliable this upperclassman seemed—but before I knew it, I’d fallen for him…
When we think of upperclassmen, we tend to picture someone dependable and cool, but sometimes it’s kindness and gentleness that make your heart skip a beat, right? If you have feelings for a senior but can’t quite bring yourself to confess, this is a song you should definitely listen to!
loveback number
Anyone who has experienced unrequited love can painfully relate to the feeling of wanting to beg God, “Please let me be with that person!” This is a song by back number that pours out overflowing feelings for someone you love—someone you’ll probably no longer be able to see after graduation.
Fans have voiced strong support for the track, saying things like, “My head is completely filled with thoughts of the person I like,” and “I wish I were the one they think of when they hear this song.” Just thinking “I need to tell them how I feel” won’t get the message across.
Listen to this song, gather your courage, and go to your senpai!

You might have seen the phrase “A female college student made a cool track purely on vibes” at least once if you’re often on social media, right? The original source is this artist, Noshi—pronounced ‘noa’! Her original song hit 1 million plays in just one month, and she’s kept dropping bangers with energetic, dazzling activity ever since.
Among them, “Senpai” is a provocative, spine-tingling track.
The tagline at the top of the video site—“The worse the woman, the more attractive”—totally checks out; the way the lyrics aggressively corner the senpai is thrilling.
I really want you to listen without spoilers.
If you crave the rush of an intense one-sided crush, this is it—the ultimate track!
Age is just a number.HoneyWorks feat. Ayase Koyuki (CV: Horie Shun)
HoneyWorks’ fan name is “Hani-mate,” which sounds a lot like the anime shop “Animate,” doesn’t it? It’s kind of adorable.
HoneyWorks’ songs are all brimming with heartache, but the pain in this one, “What’s a Little Age Difference?”, really brings the tears.
He falls for a woman one year older, tries to protect himself by putting up emotional safeguards so he won’t get hurt, yet can’t hold back his feelings in the end… The story unfolds like a movie and keeps your heart pounding.
It’s a one-sided love song that makes you swoon even outside the realm of anime and the 2D world!

The portrayal of the two growing closer little by little will make your heart race just by listening! Many will find themselves thinking, “I want to be like that, too.” Its upbeat, sparkling sound has the power to encourage love and give courage to those with a one-sided crush.

So it wasn’t me, huh.riria.
This song became a hot topic for its realistic lyrics, written based on Riria’s own experiences, that really pierce the heart.
From the title alone—“So It Wasn’t Me”—you can feel the sadness and pain of a girl confronted with the reality that the person she loved has someone else in their heart.
No matter how hard you try or how much you hope for a happy ending, some loves just don’t come to fruition.
It’s pretty tough to keep caring for a senior when you’re not even sure their feelings are directed at you.
It might be important to take the plunge and ask how they really feel.
