Songs of pure love. Recommended masterpieces and popular pure-love love songs (11–20)
MiracleGReeeeN
Japan does not have disparities based on race, war, or class, so songs inevitably tend to be love songs.
That reflects a happy situation, which is a welcome reality.
Even among those love songs, I think this track has a particularly nice flavor.
March 9Remioromen
It’s a beautiful masterpiece with a suggestive title and a wistful melody.
Since it was also used in the drama “1 Litre of Tears,” some people might feel teary the moment they hear it.
The lyrics, woven in elegant Japanese and singing of love, are pleasing to the ear.
FlowerORANGE RANGE
A song that became the theme for the film Be With You, which portrays a tender yet heartrending pure love.
Like falling petals, the lyrics sing of love as a miracle within a finite life, mirroring the film’s story and making it a tearjerker.
It’s a rare ballad from ORANGE RANGE.
I miss you. I want to see you.Tezuka Shota
The theme song of the drama “Your Turn to Kill – The Counterattack –,” titled “I Want to See You.” It’s a song that conveys the feelings of the protagonist Shota Tezuka, played by Kei Tanaka.
His beloved is gone, and he doesn’t know how to go on living… He just wants to see the person he loves one more time.
The longing is unbearably heartrending.
An eternal love dedicated to someone irreplaceable—surely that’s true, pure love, isn’t it?
Faint fragrancePerfume
Perfume’s “Kasuka na Kaori” is a song that portrays the frustration of being in love but not quite able to express those feelings.
Time with someone you like really does fly by, doesn’t it… and waiting to hear from them feels endless, too… If you’ve ever been in love, you can’t help but relate to these lyrics.
“I hope you like me…”—that faint mix of hope and anxiety quietly comes through.
Future Projection IIDREAMS COME TRUE
“Mirai Yosouzu II” is, needless to say, one of DREAMS COME TRUE’s signature songs.
Every line of the lyrics plays like a scene from a movie—especially the moment with the car’s tail lights blinking, a phrase that has gone down in music history.
The song even inspired TV shows and dramas.
It’s such a lovely piece themed around pure love that it makes you think, if this song hadn’t existed, would DREAMS COME TRUE have existed as we know them?

Aqua Timez – Life-Sized Love SongAqua Timez
A famous song that sings of unwavering love for a woman, Aqua Timez’s “A Love Song in True Proportion.” There are many men who find it hard to say “I love you” out loud, right? This song feels like a love letter that lays bare the heart of such a clumsy man.
He’s truly head-over-heels… You want to say, “Put it into words,” but when you listen to this song, you can’t help but forgive him (lol).
