A person I mustn’t fall in love withCHIHIRO
The song’s straightforward title, “A Person You Mustn’t Fall For,” really packs a punch, doesn’t it? It sings about a woman’s heart that becomes all the more aware precisely because she thinks she shouldn’t fall in love.
And yet, even as she says that, she also shrugs and thinks, “What’s so wrong with falling in love?”—women’s hearts can be fickle.
The things we can’t have tend to look all the more dazzling, don’t they?
Someday, the two of usMr.Children
A bittersweet love ballad sung by Mr.Children, “Itsu no hi ni ka Futari de.” It’s an unrequited love song about a younger man who falls for an older woman.
It’s unclear whether she’s simply not interested or already married, but because they can never be more than friends, the man soothes his heart by dreaming of the day they’ll be together.
His thoughts are consumed by her, his longing to see her keeps growing… The lyrics are achingly poignant, resonating with any man experiencing a love that won’t come true.
It’s a song you should listen to on those days when you just can’t see the one you love.
So it wasn’t me, huh.riria.
This song, Riria.’s “It Wasn’t Me, Was It.”, pierces the heart with the feelings of the so-called ‘second woman’ seen from a woman’s perspective.
When you’re having an affair or a love you can’t tell anyone about, you probably end up bottling up a lot of emotions inside, don’t you? In this song too, there are lyrics about keeping quiet and enduring—wanting to continue the relationship—even though she sensed his actions and attitude and kind of knew what was going on.
I’m sure many people will relate.
You can also feel that, even knowing the truth, she just couldn’t help loving him so much.
