This song, with its gentle vocals that resonate in the heart, perfectly suits the refreshing autumn night breeze.

It’s a signature track by the band Kirinji, formed in 1996.

It was released in 2000 as their sixth single.

For students worn out from exam studying, let this song soothe you.

One million “I love you”sRake

This is a song I’d like people to listen to when they love someone so much that words of love alone aren’t enough.

Whether it’s unrequited or mutual, there are times when that special someone won’t leave your mind all day.

This track conveys that kind of single-hearted devotion.

scale (fish/reptile scale)Hata Motohiro

Just before summer, it has a refreshing tone that evokes the season of fresh green leaves.

Riding on the big winds that sway those verdant trees, it sings of a yearning so strong it could burst: “I want to fly to you right now.” While Motohiro Hata’s “Himawari no Yakusoku” is also very popular, I’d like to give this one a strong recommendation as well.

This song has a clumsy feel to it—and that’s exactly what makes it so good.

I think Mr.

Children is an artist loved by people of all ages.

Among their songs, this particularly popular track is one many of you may have heard.

I, for one, want to bravely face unrequited love.

AitaiKato Miria

Miliyah Kato - “Aitai”
AitaiKato Miria

A songstress overwhelmingly supported by women in their teens and twenties.

I’m sure many men like her as well.

This track is the ultimate, heart-wrenching unrequited love song by Miliyah Kato.

It’s also recommended for teenage boys who are easily influenced by women.

Legend of DreamsStardust Revue

A single released in 1991.

Stardust Revue’s songs were often used in commercials.

“Yume Densetsu” was featured in a Suntory ad.

As for the unrequited-love element, in the song he meets his destined person in a dream.

It’s not in reality—he’s singing about facing someone he hasn’t met yet, but within his own dream.

It’s the dream of a romantic young man who’s in love with the idea of love.

Suzuki Suzuki is a brother duo—older brother Tomu and younger brother Seina—active since 2017.

Their song “I Want to Become What the Person I Like Likes” is an irresistible pop tune whose lyrics, written in unadorned words, express a growing longing for a sparkling, radiant woman.

The brothers’ soft, sweet vocals match those moving lyrics perfectly, and before you know it, you’ll find tears streaming down your face as you listen.

The music video, arranged like a home video of everyday life with a girlfriend, also captures the song’s world beautifully—be sure to check it out together with the track!
