That’s not fair.Ochiai Wataru
Even knowing it won’t be reciprocated, you’re drawn to those gentle hands and that soft voice, unable to walk away…
This song vividly portrays the emotional turmoil of being trapped in such an ambiguous relationship.
Sung by Wataru Ochiai, a singer-songwriter from Osaka, it’s a track overflowing with heartache.
Released in May 2021, it’s known as one of his signature works, alongside albums like “Nonfiction,” where he has expressed a down-to-earth view of love.
The weakness and jealousy of clinging to someone even while realizing you’re being treated as a convenient option come through raw and real over an acoustic sound.
A ballad for anyone who can’t break free from a painful, forbidden love they want to end but can’t.
Love song foreverVaundy
A lot of people probably feel shy about saying “I love you” to their partner face-to-face, don’t they? This song is a love ballad that straightforwardly expresses overflowing feelings too bashful to put into words.
It sings about how, even though both have flaws, they’ll keep talking, understanding each other, and holding on without letting go as they continue forward together.
Released in August 2025 by Vaundy, the artwork was also created by the artist himself.
The powerful arrangement paired with his vocals makes the sound slowly seep into your heart.
Definitely give it a listen together as a couple.
playing hookyMakihara Noriyuki
It’s one of Noriyuki Makihara’s signature hit songs, themed around “playing hooky,” something many working adults can relate to.
The song portrays the feelings behind skipping work or school without a reason, including a sense of loneliness.
The tempo is relaxed, so it seems like a song you can sing calmly.
Since there are spots where the pitch rises at the ends of phrases—a Makihara hallmark—try to produce those lightly without forcing it.
If you strain, you’ll end up pushing with your throat, so simply lifting your facial muscles or raising your eyebrows can help you stay relaxed.
