Shapes Of LoveEvery Little Thing

Released in 1997 as Every Little Thing’s sixth single.

It was chosen as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama Intern Nanako and reached No.

3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

With this song, they made their first appearance at the year-end NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

The lyrics overflow with the cute, bittersweet frustration of wanting to confess one’s feelings but being unable to.

You and the slopesSHISHAMO

It’s a song about going to a ski resort with the person I’ve had a crush on for two years—not just the two of us, though.

But it turns out he actually has a girlfriend…

The girl pretends not to know and locks her feelings for him away in her heart.

The melody is bright, but it’s a bittersweet track.

On cold winter days, we sometimes find ourselves longing for someone’s kindness and warmth.

The song I’d like you to listen to is “Motto,” released by aiko in 2016.

Its lyrics, which depict the changing of the seasons, mirror the growing emotional distance between lovers.

Even the repeated phrase at the end of the chorus conveys a straightforward affection toward an ex-partner.

Set to a jazzy piano sound, her emotional vocals unfold throughout the track.

Why not listen while thinking of that unforgettable, special person?

“Kimi Omoi, Kataomoi” by GUMI, produced by Takanon, is a song that expresses the aching feelings of a seemingly hopeless unrequited love.

Even after working hard to grow closer to the person she likes, one day that person tells her they’ve fallen for someone else—an undeniably shocking turn of events.

The song depicts her struggling with what to do with the feelings still inside her after learning that truth.

Many listeners may find themselves relating to this one-sided love whose goal has suddenly disappeared.

While there aren’t any explicit winter images, the quiet sorrow of winter overlaps with the poignancy of realizing a love that won’t come true.

Even when you know it won’t come true, you can’t stop the feeling of love—no matter what, you just like that person.

Haven’t we all experienced that kind of one-sided love at some point? Miwa’s song “Kataomoi,” which is especially popular among women of the same generation, is full of those unstoppable feelings and the helpless emotions you understand in your head but can’t control.

It’s a song that could be called a representative track about unrequited love.

The emotion of loving someone, even knowing your feelings won’t be fulfilled or reach them, comes through so poignantly it hurts.
