This is Okubo Hanako’s 13th single, a poignant song about being told by your crush that they like someone else before you can confess your feelings.

The music video is a live painting based on footage from her appearance on the Niconico Live program “Nico Radio.” Be sure to watch the video along with the song—it’s highly recommended!

When you think of Noriyuki Makihara, it has to be this song! Even though it’s been over 20 years since its release, I can’t help but think it’s amazing that people of all generations know it.

It starts with a string of heartbreaking, post-breakup lines, but setting them to a pop melody is also a distinctive feature.

I think everyone has experienced that feeling of not being able to say the simple two-letter word “love,” of being afraid to express it.

The lyrics, which entrust their wavering feelings of love to the autumn rain-filled sky, paint a beautiful scene.

It’s a perfect song for anyone in unrequited love who can’t find the courage to confess!

Just… I want to see youEXILE

EXILE / I Just... Want to See You - Short version -
Just... I want to see youEXILE

Remembering a love that has ended and savoring the loneliness is the hardest thing of all… I can’t help but be enchanted by ATSUSHI’s beautiful vocals coming in right from the chorus.

In this music video, it’s the second chapter of EXILE, so TAKAHIRO is singing, but I also recommend the first chapter where SHUN sings! It’s a single released by EXILE in 2005.

One of EXILE’s early ballads, it’s a song that brings winter to mind.

Your favorite songUVERworld

Listening to the songs your crush likes—looking them up and playing them over and over—is such a classic unrequited love move, isn’t it? UVERworld’s “Kimi no Suki na Uta” captures those sweet and bittersweet feelings of a one-sided love.

Released in 2006, the song was featured as the theme for the romance variety show “Koisuru Hanikami!” It portrays someone who was hurt by past relationships falling in love again and becoming completely preoccupied with that special person.

The story of someone who once lived in a world as cold as winter finding warmth in their heart after meeting someone precious is truly moving.

As you listen to your crush’s favorite songs, let this track fill you with that same gentle warmth.

Wish, sumika’s ninth single released in 2019.

The song also became a hit as the theme for the drama Ossan’s Love -in the sky-, which drew attention with Kei Tanaka in the lead role, and it became well known across a wide range of generations.

While many love songs can feel tailored to either a male or female perspective, this track captures the essence of unrequited love in a way that resonates with anyone who listens.

It makes you realize how even the small things in everyday life can shine so brightly when seen through the lens of love.

A smash hit from 1981 written and composed by Yumi (Yuming).

In fact, Hitomi Ishikawa’s version is a cover—the original was by Seiko Miki.

It’s said to be based on Miki’s real-life experience.

From the luxurious intro, a wintry landscape somehow unfolds before your eyes.

The lyrics portray a woman’s complex psychology, and some even discuss it in terms of stalking, but I feel it’s simply the honest feelings of someone in love.

The mature atmosphere is striking, and perhaps this is how people gain experience.

Songs about unrequited love always stand by us in times of heartache.
