I love you, I love you, I love you.Kōda Kumi
A song themed around a heart-wrenching love that refuses to back down even a single step.
Kumi Koda’s deeply emotive vocals resonate straight to the heart.
Released in September 2010, it was also featured in Kracie’s “Ichikami” commercial.
The track is included on the album Dejavu and captured the hearts of many listeners.
It brilliantly portrays the complex feelings of a woman in love and is sure to strike a chord with anyone who’s experienced heartbreak or unrequited love.
It’s easy to sing at karaoke and guaranteed to liven up a girls’ night with friends.
User ManualNishino Kana
It was released in 2015 as Kana Nishino’s 27th single.
Chosen as the theme song for the Warner Bros.-distributed film “No Longer Heroine,” the song’s title means “user manual for women.” It depicts the inner feelings of women—often hard for men to understand—by likening a maiden’s heart to an instruction manual, and it gained strong support from many women.
Love StoryAmuro Namie
This is a song that portrays lost love and the emotions that follow.
While expressing deep affection, pain, regret, and sorrow, it also conveys a strength that never loses gratitude or hope.
Released in December 2011, it was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Watashi ga Ren’ai Dekinai Riyū” (The Reason I Can’t Find My Love).
Namie Amuro made a guest appearance as herself in episode 9 of the drama and performed this song.
It’s especially recommended for women in their twenties.
When you’re struggling with romantic troubles or inner conflict, listening to this song will surely give you the courage to look forward.
It’s a wonderful track that gives you the strength to step onto a new path!
fireworks (launched into the sky)DAOKO × Yonezu Kenshi
It’s a hit song from 2017.
No matter how beautifully fireworks shine, they eventually come to an end.
Even if you wish for a sparkling love to keep going without ending, it never does—it’s a slightly bittersweet song.
Because it’s likened to fireworks, it’s easy to listen to, but the poignant lyrics can bring you to tears.
In the call-and-response part, the woman comes across as having a more detached attitude toward love.
A bouquet of flowers with loveSuperfly
It was released in 2008 as Superfly’s fourth single.
The song was used as the theme for the TBS drama “Edison no Haha” (Edison’s Mother) and is often played at weddings during the end roll or bouquet presentation scenes.
It’s also one of Superfly’s signature songs, frequently sung at karaoke.
Happy Endingback number
When I first heard it, I was so moved I actually cried.
It expresses the painful feelings of a girlfriend who has to break up, even though she really doesn’t want to.
You can feel how her emotions keep swelling, and how she’s trying to hold herself back.
The lyrics capture exactly what the one being dumped feels: “I haven’t changed at all, so what’s different between when we first started dating and now?” It made me cry.
Not reflected in the eyesindigo la End
When I only listened to the audio, I got the impression it was a song by a somewhat mentally unstable woman.
But after watching the PV, my view changed.
The way I feel about the song has changed quite a bit.
I also thought, “So that’s why it has this title,” and I could feel indigo’s worldview even more strongly.
When I realized it, I was in unrequited love.Nogizaka 46
It was released in 2014 as Nogizaka46’s eighth single.
The song features Nanase Nishino in the center position and, in contrast to the group’s previous works that often took a more masculine perspective, it is written from a feminine point of view.
It was used as the TV commercial song for “Mega Shaki,” “Giga Shaki,” and “Mega Shaki Gum.”
I love itŌhara Sakurako
It was released in 2016 as Sakurako Ohara’s fifth solo single.
The song was used in a commercial for Colopl’s “Shironeko Project,” and it reached No.
5 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It was her first single after turning 20, and the lyrics—depicting the frustration of being unable to confess one’s feelings and the complex emotions of a girl overflowing with love—make it an especially charming track.
loveHoshino Gen
It’s the theme song of the drama “We Married as a Job!” (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu), and I think countless people have sung it.
The ‘Koi Dance’ was hugely popular too.
Hoshino Gen’s dancing in the music video is really cute.
I feel it’s a song that makes you think not only about romance, but also about family, marriage, and our connections with others.
