The ring and the spare keyhaji→
This is the ultimate long-distance love song.
Haji→ himself calls it his greatest masterpiece—it’s truly a wonderful track.
I’m sure there are people who listened to this while in a long-distance relationship and somehow managed to keep going.
Even though regular relationships and long-distance ones should be the same, you end up being more careful than in a normal relationship.
It’s filled with painful, sorrowful emotions.
crescent moonayaka
It was released in 2006 as Ayaka’s fourth single.
As a single, it was her first love ballad, themed around a long-distance relationship, and “Mikazuki” also serves as a metaphor for the very shape of a mobile phone.
With this song, she won the Best New Artist Award at the 48th Japan Record Awards.
I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. chū-tan
The song “Sukicchu-no!” by HoneyWorks and Chu-tan.
Compared to the previous track “Kawaikute Gomen,” this one tones down the cutesy, coquettish elements and overall delivers a more traditionally girly vibe.
The vocal range is mid2B to hiC, which is slightly high for a typical female vocal piece, but since the song shines through breath work—like breaths and consonants—to enhance its charm, the overall difficulty is on the lower side.
It’s a track that’s sure to be a hit among girls or at mixers.
Almost 20LANA
This is a love song that thoughtfully captures the feelings of standing on the brink of turning 20.
Included on the EP “19.5,” the track was released by LANA in March 2024 and features a clear, shimmering sound with synth-pop elements.
The lyrics, which convey the anticipation and anxiety of the final moments of one’s teens and the determination to step into a new stage, resonate deeply with listeners of the same generation.
Frankly expressing down-to-earth feelings about love, this song is a perfect fit for those at a turning point in life or about to begin a new romance.
Countdown feat. APOKIGirls²
It’s a cute love song that will put you in a romantic mood! Performed by Girls², a dance-vocal group born from a tokusatsu drama, it was released in May 2023.
It’s a collaboration with K-pop virtual singer APOKI.
Many listeners will relate to the lyrics that portray a single-minded girl whose feelings of love can’t be stopped.
That nonstop rush of falling harder and harder for someone comes through in the arrangement and melody as well.
Highly recommended for karaoke dates—since it’s a dance number, it’s sure to get everyone hyped!
Pride BrightJuice=Juice
“Pride Bright,” a 2023 track by Hello! Project group Juice=Juice.
Set to a cool, mature-sounding melody, it sings about a strong woman who never falls into love just because it’s convenient.
That assertive vibe also comes through in their sharp, powerful dance and the slightly grown-up atmosphere seen throughout.
It’s a recommended song for anyone with a strong will who doesn’t want a compromising romance or one that goes against their true feelings.
If only I could say I love youKERENMI & atarayo
The digitally released track “Tada Suki to Ietara” was selected as the theme song for the live-action film Kokan Uso Nikki, which is based on a coming-of-age novel.
It’s a collaboration between KERENMI—the project led by music producer Koichi Tsutaya that’s been generating buzz—and Atarayo, a band known for the tagline “a band that grows by eating sadness.” With a simple ensemble and a hooky melody, it’s an undeniably catchy number.
The delicate lyrics, which overlap with the film’s story, evoke a sense of nostalgia.
A pop tune with gentle vocals and a refreshing arrangement that feels so good you’ll want to keep it on repeat.
