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.

Mirei Touyama “If There Were Another Goodbye” Lyric Video

If there’s a “see you” Mirei Toyama

This is a bittersweet breakup song that gently wraps feelings of regret and gratitude toward a loved one in a clear, translucent voice.

Released by Mirei Toyama in August 2021, it portrays the struggle with the pain of parting while trying to find gratitude for a “once-in-a-lifetime happiness.” The hesitation over when to bring up the breakup, and the strength to be the one to finally say “thank you,” are also compelling.

As a track from the album “still,” this cover of a original song by Sorari Sawada offers quiet solace to those who must end a relationship or are suffering through a love they need to let go of.

This song by JUDY AND MARY beautifully captures the cold winter night sky and the ache of unrequited love.
