Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

A love that won’t return, no matter how hard you wish.

Even when you muster the courage to confess, they don’t turn around.

Or you finally become mutual, only for their feelings to drift away from you.

After heartbreak, you find yourself thinking, “I shouldn’t have confessed,” or “If only I’d been more honest,” and blaming yourself as precious moments replay in your mind.

And the more you try to forget, the stronger your feelings for them grow…

The songs featured in this article are all achingly beautiful masterpieces we want you—who loved with all your heart—to hear.

Regret that won’t stop no matter how much you cry, and the inability to give up on the one you love.

These songs will stay close to those pure feelings.

Of course, when you go through a breakup you feel sad and unmotivated, but even though you know there’s no point in wondering what you did wrong or why things ended up this way, you can’t help thinking about it over and over.

This song really understands those feelings—it’s a breakup song you can truly relate to.

It makes me realize that no matter how much you cry, the tears never seem to run out.

I need to talk to you.Adachi Kana

Falling in love with someone and having them feel the same way is really difficult, isn’t it? This song, “I Need to Tell You Something,” captures the feeling of longing for someone you love and the bittersweet plea: “If you’re not going to love me, please don’t give me hope.” If you’ve ever given up on a crush without even confessing, please give it a listen.

The song was chosen as the ending theme for AbemaTV’s “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita” (“I Fell in Love Today”).

One-sided love can be sweet at times and painful at others.

Even after realizing the heartbreak is inevitable and wanting to move on, spending time together makes you fall for them all over again—and that hurts, doesn’t it…

While singing about these feelings that everyone experiences, the song also portrays the supple strength of a woman who, even so, chooses to love again and move forward.
