Lovely love song

[Empathetic & Tear-Jerking] A love song about an unrequited romance

lighterutatane
A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Even when you know it’s a hopeless love and your feelings won’t be returned, you still can’t stop your heart—it’s just impossible, isn’t it?

Your head says it might be no good, but your heart won’t follow so easily, and your feelings only grow stronger.

For you who feel this way, here are love songs that sing of the aching emotions of unrequited love—songs I want you to hear.

Some are from a woman’s perspective, some from a man’s, but whichever you listen to, your chest will surely tighten, and you may find yourself relating as if the song were about you.

Soothe the feelings you can’t tell anyone by listening to tracks from those in the same situation.

A heartbreaking breakup song that overlays the fleeting memories of love with cherry blossom petals.

The lyrics delicately portray how memories with a lover linger everywhere in the city, turning even everyday scenes into amplifiers of pain.

While still holding on to love, the reality is that they will never meet again.

This song carries a message that gently embraces that hurt.

Released in April 2011, it was featured as the ending theme for JAPAN COUNTDOWN.

It is sure to resonate deeply with anyone who has experienced a painful romance.

Because it won’t reach / Because it doesn’t reachHirai Ken

The film “50 First Kisses” portrays a heartrending love story.

Ken Hirai wrote “Todokanai Kara” as its theme song.

The lyrics speak on behalf of the film’s protagonist, depicting a deep love that will never reach the other person.

Many lines tie directly to the movie, so you’ll relate even more if you listen after watching it.

That said, it’s still moving enough to stir your heart even if you haven’t seen the film.

The live version included on the CD features an even more passionate performance, so be sure to check that out as well.
