Unrequited Love Songs: A Cheerful Anthem for Those Wishing for Mutual Love (51–60)
AsymmetryYasuda Rei
A song that captures unrequited love in a way young women will surely relate to.
The lyrics also touch on social media, and I imagine many women feel the same way as the song’s protagonist.
However, the chorus carries an encouraging, positive message that feels like a gentle push forward, so be sure to listen while reading the lyrics.
Why not me?Misaka Saki
This song delicately portrays the bittersweet feelings of unrequited love.
They were close as friends, but before he knew it, romantic feelings had begun to grow.
Those complex emotions of a boy are expressed through a clear, transparent singing voice.
Released in February 2021 as the theme song for ABEMA’s popular romance reality show “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita” (Today, I Fell in Love), it resonated with many listeners.
It’s a perfect track for anyone struggling with their feelings for a crush.
Listening to this song might give you the courage to take a step forward.

“Us,” which gained attention as the theme song for the 2019 drama It’s Not a True Love Affair (Gisou Furin), mirrors the protagonist’s confusion and inner conflict as she pretends to be married despite being single.
The song’s lyrics feel as though they give voice to her emotions.
Even if it’s not about an affair, many people struggle to honestly express their true feelings.
If you’re facing the same kind of conflict, give it a listen.
NAOHY
It’s an unrequited love heartbreak song about being unable to move on because you can’t forget the person you like.
You remember everything about them and can’t let go, yet they already have a partner, so there’s no chance it will ever come true…
I’m sure many people can relate, don’t you think?

“If you don’t give up and keep expressing your feelings, love will blossom!” This is a song by Cyclamen that gives a push to those with a one-sided crush.
Haven’t you ever tried your hardest to keep the conversation going so they wouldn’t get bored, or watched their back as they walked away because you couldn’t get your feelings across? Even painful experiences like these during unrequited love will, if they pile up, surely reach the other person someday.
The ending of the song isn’t depicted directly, but it’s probably a happy one! Nothing will change if you keep dragging around that foggy feeling.
Take the plunge and lay your feelings bare!
You and the summer music festivalSHISHAMO
A summer festival date mishap becomes the chance to get closer to your crush! It’s a refreshing love song by the girls’ band SHISHAMO that feels like a snapshot of youth.
Everyone has the desire for the person they like to know what they themselves love.
But when you actually try to share it, you might worry that you’re the only one getting excited and that the other person has been put off.
Someone who, like in this song, says “I’m glad I got to see a different side of you,” is truly the ideal of ideals, isn’t it?
When I realized it, I was in unrequited love.Nogizaka 46
When you have a crush, your emotions can really swing up and down, right? Sometimes you’re happy, excited, and thrilled just because you like someone, and then suddenly you get anxious and it hurts.
Nogizaka46’s song “Kizuitara Kataomoi” leans more toward expressing the painful, uneasy side of unrequited love.
It might be nice to listen to it when loving someone starts to feel tough and your mood dips, and let yourself relate.
Here’s hoping you can enjoy love positively again!
