Loss and LiesKurahashi Yoeko
When you listen to it casually, it hardly sounds like a depressing song.
But once you look at the lyrics… it all makes sense.
Wanting to be loved by the one you love is something everyone feels in romance.
However, the woman in this song doesn’t care how little he pays attention to her; even if he insults her, she just wants to be by his side.
She’s satisfied even with words of love that lack truth—that’s how deep her feelings are.
It’s a love song for women so in love they can’t stop themselves, no matter what.

But when you get to the end of the lyrics, the reason becomes clear: at graduation, they discover their feelings are mutual.
If you listen to it during graduation season, you might just find yourself tempted to check the desk of the person you like (lol).
With such a happy ending, graduation doesn’t seem so bad.
