ASA – More Than Friends, Less Than Lovers [Official Music Video]

This is a song by ASA that heals the wounds of a broken heart.

It delicately portrays the complex emotions of a protagonist caught in a more-than-friends, less-than-lovers relationship.

The push and pull between possessiveness and self-loathing, and between love and friendship, resonates deeply with listeners.

Released in September 2022, the track drew attention for its theme that strongly connects with young people.

It’s a song that offers comfort to those struggling with ambiguous relationships or unable to move on from heartbreak.

Listening to it may give you a chance to face your own feelings.

BENI – Never Again…

It’s a stylish-sounding heartbreak song.

The lyrics are, of course, good, but the melody is even more wonderful—it makes you cry while you listen and helps you feel calm.

I think men can listen to it easily, too.

BENI has many male fans, so I recommend this song to men as well.

EXILE TAKAHIRO / “The One of Destiny” (Music Video)

It was released in 2004 as a double A-side single with “Carry On.” The lyrics were written by vocalist ATSUSHI.

This is a bittersweet love song about feelings of love realized too late.

Even as each person walks their own path, it cherishes the emotions they hold now—a perfect track for unrequited love.

EXILE ATSUSHI / Real Valentine

This is a heartbreak song that portrays a bittersweet love.

EXILE ATSUSHI’s emotive vocals vividly express lingering feelings and regret for a former lover.

The pain of realizing “we’ll never meet again,” and the wish of “if only I could go back to the past,” really hit home.

Released in June 2013 as the coupling track to EXILE’s single “Flower Song,” and later included on ATSUSHI’s solo album, this piece is recommended for moments when you want to heal a broken heart or reflect on memories with someone special.

Listening to this song might make you want to cherish the love you have now.

FUNKY MONKEY BABYS "You’re Not Here Anymore"

A song that expresses a man’s honest feelings after being dumped by his girlfriend.

I like that it doesn’t try to be cool, and it’s very easy to listen to.

Because it has a good groove, the melody doesn’t sound gloomy, letting you revel in heartbreak with a brighter feel.

If you don’t like gloomy vibes, I recommend this one.

I just had a love sadder than anyone else’s.Flower

Flower “Just a Love Sadder Than Anyone Else’s” out 9/14. Best album: “THIS IS Flower THIS IS BEST.”

This song is truly heartbreaking! It makes you cry! It’s perfect for people going through unrequited love, being cheated on by a boyfriend, or finding out the person they like already has a girlfriend—those kinds of heartbreak.

It’s sad and painful, but I think it’s also a song that, in some way, looks forward and stays positive.

Snow WhiteFlower

Flower “Snow White” — 2nd album “Hanadokei (Flower Clock)” out 3/4

The ultimate soothing song to calm the flutter of your heart on Valentine’s Day is Flower’s “Shirayukihime.” Since its 2013 release, it has remained in many people’s hearts as one of their signature works.

Over a sound that fuses synth-pop and soul, a single-minded love gently and poignantly falls like snow.

The song paints a unique world that blends the pain and purity of unrequited love.

Like a star shining brightly beneath the lonely winter night sky, this track illuminates the listener’s heart.

The lyrics, infused with the feelings of a protagonist who keeps waiting for Snow White, are enough to bring many to tears.

To you who mustered your courage but weren’t rewarded, this song sends a heartwarming message.
