Okubukuro Hanako’s Garnet weaves together sadness and beauty.
Released in 2006, the song was also used as the theme for the animated film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
Its lyrics trace the bittersweet feelings of first love tucked away in a student’s heart.
Those special memories that never fade with time seem to etch a page of youth that transcends the years.
Her piano tones and gently companionable voice make those moments all the more unforgettable.
Even on a Valentine’s Day when heartbreak makes you timid, this song will be there for you.
As you face your memories, it might just give you the courage to take a new step forward.

It portrays the honest feelings of a girl—the emotions she just can’t forget and the regrets—when a romance she thought would be her last comes to an end.
Many people have probably listened to this after a heartbreak and cried.
I recommend it to anyone who wants a good cry to feel refreshed.

SparkleIkuta Rira

This is a song by Rira Ikuta created around the theme of unrequited love.
It was chosen as the theme song for ABEMA’s original dating show, Today, I Fell in Love: Mikan Edition, which enjoys overwhelming support from teens.
The song portrays the process of growing through love—experiencing both joy and sorrow, learning what love is and what it means to care for someone.
When you hear this track, you can’t help but agree deeply with the idea that “you don’t choose to fall in love—it just happens.”
Unrequited loveShibata Jun

A one-sided love song by Jun Shibata, who also writes songs for numerous artists.
It portrays the heart of a woman who can’t stop loving someone even though she knows that person has someone else they cherish.
Unrequited love is a tangle of wishing things would stay as they are and feeling, “I can’t go on like this!”
I won’t fall in love anymore.Makihara Noriyuki

I think this song also goes over well with our parents’ generation.
At the elementary school I attended, it was played during lunchtime, so even kids might find it familiar.
It’s a breakup song, but it’s upbeat, so it lifts your spirits.
Noriyuki Makihara’s voice is beautiful and really sinks into your heart.
Love DrizzleShonan no Kaze

I still have quite a bit of lingering attachment, but for some reason this song sounds cool.
The way it honestly portrays things that used to be normal no longer being so, and the helpless loneliness of being alone, really sinks straight into your heart.
I also recommend it as a karaoke song for men.
