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.
That’s not fair.NEW!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.
Something that never changesKanda Sayaka, Matsu Takako, Takeuchi Shunsuke, Hara Shinichirō
This is a song used in the film Frozen 2, which was released simultaneously in Japan and the U.S.
in November 2019 and, like its predecessor, became a social phenomenon.
Early in the story, set during Arendelle’s autumn festival, Anna, Elsa, and the others rhythmically sing about their feelings toward “things that never change.” The lavish ensemble—featuring Sayaka Kanda, Takako Matsu, Shunsuke Takeuchi, and Shinichiro Hara each performing in their respective roles—fills listeners with excitement.
Included on the album Frozen 2 Original Soundtrack, this piece is guaranteed to liven up any karaoke session if you assign roles among friends and sing together! Enjoy the dialogue-like back-and-forth as you all join in for a lively performance.
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.
for a very, very long timeFANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE
Here is a pure-love ballad that warms the winter chill and seeps deep into the heart.
The lyrics, which capture the growing feelings of love through everyday, fleeting moments and the frustration of being unable to say “I love you,” tighten the listener’s chest.
Released as a single in December 2025, this song was chosen as the theme for the film “Romantic Killer,” starring member Sota Nakajima.
The delicate timbres of piano and strings intertwine with twin vocals, unfolding dramatically toward the chorus—another point of allure.
If you’re stuck in a one-sided crush and can’t quite take that first step, listening to it might gently nudge you forward.
Why not savor it slowly while thinking of someone special?
Because I’ve always loved you.neguse.
A straight-shooting cheer song from Neguse, the Nagoya-born rock band whose motto is “smiles”! Its message, delivering the value of “keeping at it” head-on, slowly seeps into a tired heart.
The structure—unfolding from Ryotachi’s rhythmic rap to a soaring sing-along chorus—gives listeners a powerful push forward.
Released for streaming in June 2024, it’s also included on the EP “Ai to Ai no Fight!” Chosen as a summer high school baseball cheer song and the theme for “Netto Koshien,” it even became the melody played at Koshien Station—a hot topic indeed.
Give it a listen especially when the May blues sap your motivation.
It’ll remind you of that fiery feeling: you can give it your all because you love it!
Always.haji→
Singer-songwriter Haji→, hailing from Sendai, is beloved for his warm messages that resonate with everyday life.
This title track, released as a single in April 2012, was selected as the ending theme for the TV show “Futtonda.” The straightforward lyrics—vowing to protect one’s partner for life despite being a bit clumsy—sound just like a proposal to the person you’ve decided is your “last love,” and they truly stir the listener’s heart.
It’s no wonder it was cherished by many listeners, even reaching No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Indie Chart in April 2012.
It’s a heartwarming, heartfelt number that couldn’t be more perfect as BGM to convey overflowing love to someone special at a wedding or on an important anniversary.
