UVERworld 'The Song You Like'

When you have a one-sided crush, it’s really hard to say those simple words, “I like you,” isn’t it? Once you’re mutually in love or a couple, it’s just part of everyday conversation, but during a one-sided crush, those words feel like they carry your fate.

This song captures that feeling.

UVERworld is a band that’s hugely popular among teenage boys, so I highly recommend them.

What if - RADWIMPS cover (guitar) solo acoustic

This song, which vocalist Mr.

Noda wrote when he was in high school, truly captures the feeling of youth.

I suspect there are more men than you’d think who have felt this way.

The YouTube comments section is flooded with messages of empathy.

KanadeSukima Suichi

Sukima Switch – “Kanade” Music Video : SUKIMASWITCH / KANADE Music Video

It’s one of Sukima Switch’s most famous songs and consistently ranks high in karaoke charts.

The song expresses the sadness of being separated from someone you love, and I think it’s a classic, often listened to as an unrequited-love song.

Blue BenchSasuke

Blue Bench / Sasuke

A signature love number by a male folk duo.

Before heading to a school reunion, the singer recalls someone he used to like and looks back on a bittersweet romance.

“Back then I just threw my feelings at her and couldn’t really respect her.

I wish I’d been a little more honest.” You can almost hear thoughts like that in the song.

It can be taken as a heartbreak song, but it also resonates with the painful feelings of unrequited love.

tonightHirai Dai

Hirai Dai / tonight (HIRAIDAI LIVE TOUR 2017 at Tokyo International Forum LIVE)

It’s a slightly more mature-sounding track.

I’d recommend it to men who love surfing.

The laid-back ballad makes you want to listen by the sea.

If you listen while thinking of someone dear, it might make your chest ache.

It’s a real tearjerker.

I love you. ~100 Regrets~Sonar Pocket

Sonar Pocket “I Love You. ~100 Regrets~” [MV Spot 1]

I’m sure there are people who still can’t forget their ex-girlfriend.

There’s no need to feel ashamed for being sentimental.

I think it’s a noble one-sided love.

This song is about that kind of regret.

I believe teenagers, in particular, will be able to relate to the lyrics.

FUNKY MONKEY BABYS “Confession”

When you have a crush, isn’t it incredibly important to choose the right situation, the right words, and the right timing to confess your feelings? This song is meant for brave guys who have decided they’re just about ready to confess.

I hope your confession goes well!
