A lovely unrequited love song

[Unrequited Love Song] A Love Anthem to Cheer You On as You Wish for Mutual Feelings

Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

My Cute Unrequited Love / Onriame [Official MV]

My cute unrequited loveOtoniriame

A song by Otoriamé that depicts a cute, comical take on romance.

It vividly captures the struggles unique to unrequited love—losing sleep thinking about your crush, fumbling attempts to connect on LINE or Instagram, and feeling jealous of other girls.

The lyrics are sprinkled with killer phrases characteristic of Gen Z, and the sound—shaped by J-pop and hip-hop influences—is irresistibly appealing.

Released digitally in March 2023, this track is a pep song that sings of the sweet-and-sour feelings of a girl in love.

It’s recommended not only for those currently nursing a crush, but also for adults nostalgic for their youthful days.

Think I’m FallingKOHH

KOHH – “I Think I’m Falling” Official Video

Think I'm FallingKOHH

Hip-hop artist KOHH.

His “Think I’m Falling” is a masculine unrequited-love song that expresses a raw view of romance in a straightforward way.

The hybrid sound—combining the distinctive rhythms of trap music with future-bass-style synthesizers—gives it a modern vibe that sets it apart from conventional hip-hop.

The way it weaves in a sense of wistfulness and delicacy is deft, striking a just-right balance between hip-hop and pop elements.

It’s a track I recommend not only to those who want to fall seriously in love, but also to anyone who’s just starting something new.
