Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

I feel like there are fewer love songs using the classic “I love you” phrase these days.

I hardly even see songs with that title anymore, and in Japanese music the only one that comes to mind is Yutaka Ozaki.

Are clichéd expressions of love already outdated? Maybe that’s why this song’s straightforward message feels so refreshing!

Christina Perri, an artist from Pennsylvania.

Even after her debut, she didn’t achieve commercial success, so she kept pursuing her singing career while working as a waitress.

However, when her music was featured on the popular American show So You Think You Can Dance, she began to gain popularity.

One of her signature songs, A Thousand Years, is known for its romantic lyrics that vow eternal love to someone dear.

Hardships are part and parcel of love.

Tom Walker’s “Just You and I” is a love song that tells the story of two people overcoming those hardships together and pours those feelings into its lyrics.

Even when tough times come, it straightforwardly sings about the belief that, as long as I’m with you, we can get through anything—so many listeners may find themselves thinking of their own partners.

A smash hit by the American band, the Jonas Brothers.

It’s an ultra-groovy track where high, beautifully clear vocals meet a danceable band performance.

The lyrics are a deeply romantic love song, pouring out feelings for the girl through all sorts of metaphors.

Combined with the trio’s sweet looks, it all comes together as a highly moody love song.

Released in November 2025 as the finale to the “breakup trilogy” that began with the 2019 debut Over It, the album Finally Over It includes this track, which portrays the dilemma between ideals and reality in love.

The title reflects a throwaway sentiment of “I don’t care about my type anymore,” candidly chronicling the conflict of whether to choose financial stability or true love.

Centered on acoustic guitar, its organic sound steps beyond the trap-leaning R&B Summer Walker excels at, achieving a texture that even evokes country-soul.

It’s a song that resonates deeply with modern listeners tired of relationships built on checklists.
