First loveNakajima Mika

This song is from a little while back, so younger people might not know it, but as the title suggests, it’s one of the best pure love songs.
Everyone experiences a first love, but works that capture the feelings of someone in the middle of it are actually quite rare and difficult to create.
This song expresses those complex emotions brilliantly.
phoenixSEKAI NO OWARI

It sings of a fantastical, pure love between a robot girl and a human boy.
The lyrics alternate between the boy’s perspective and the girl’s.
Over a refreshing yet faintly bittersweet melody, vocalist Satoshi Fukase’s androgynous voice truly shines.
Love SongGO!GO!7188

A song about an unrequited love that will never come true.
The sorrow in the lyrics and melody conveys a heartfelt longing.
The use of “atashi” instead of “watashi” in the lyrics makes the emotions feel more real.
It’s one of the most popular songs among GO!GO!7188’s tracks.
Marry MeELLEGARDEN

The lyrics are entirely in English, so I highly recommend reading the Japanese translation.
The chorus sings of childlike wishes, which seems to express the purity of those feelings.
Like the blue sky that appears in the lyrics, the melody is catchy and refreshing.
youHY

When a sweet melody rides on piano and female vocals and the song begins, most people will realize it’s a love song.
And the fact that you can still listen to it all the way through means your body is craving a love song.
These artists have many fans, so if you don’t know them, give them a listen.
Being lovedKazuki

A ballad by Kazuki, released in February 2025, that delicately portrays the pain of heartbreak and lingering attachment.
Based on lyrics written during a high school class, it tells the story of a couple who loved each other but, unable to be honest, ended up parting ways.
If they had never met, they might not have felt lonely—but once they learned what tenderness feels like, it never faded and remained in their hearts.
This song will resonate deeply with anyone carrying such bittersweet feelings.
A must-listen for those who struggle to be honest with their emotions or who have lost someone they dearly loved.
Flower of loveaimyon

Singer-songwriter Aimyon, who has garnered support from a wide audience for her nostalgic acoustic sound.
Her 14th single, “Ai no Hana,” written as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series Ranman, features a pleasant blend of a pop melody and a triple-time rhythm.
The delicate ensemble centered on acoustic guitar seems to perfectly capture the freshness of morning.
It’s an emotional pop tune whose gentle sound soothes the heart.
