A tear-jerking love song. A love song that stays close to a hurting heart.

Then, why?Abe Mao

Mao Abe “Then, Why” Erika Toda × Tori Matsuzaka

This is a song that Abe Mao wrote about something her friend experienced.

Even if you give your everything, the person you love won’t turn to look at you.

The lyrics are heartbreaking, as if you’ve been rejected before you even confess, and it’s recommended for when you want to have a good cry.

The lyrics are from a boy’s perspective, but they can also fit from a girl’s perspective.

aiko - “Eriashi” music video

This is the 14th major-label single by singer-songwriter aiko, whose catchy songs—born from a distinctive chord progression and a lyrical world that only a woman could express—have earned overwhelming support, especially among women.

With a melancholic ensemble of piano and strings, and a melody that mirrors the story in the lyrics, it’s a heartrending ballad.

The regret over actions that could be seen as the flip side of love, and the feelings that missed their mark—aren’t these emotions many people only realize after a breakup? Filled with expressions and phrases quintessentially aiko, it’s a breakup song that resonates deeply and stays by your side when you’ve lost someone irreplaceable.

When you’re with her, it feels so normal that you sometimes think, “I want my freedom.” But once she’s gone, the loneliness grows even more than the freedom you wanted.

The lyrics are filled with that bittersweet feeling men have.

It lets you appreciate the happiness of being together, and for those without a partner, it makes you think, “I’ll cherish my next love.” It’s a bittersweet yet uplifting song.

This is a work by Rokudenashi, who began activities in 2021, delicately depicting the emotions of unrequited love.
