Currently, I mainly handle content for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting in my own way, as well as the insights and knowledge I’ve gained from engaging with my kids every day.

Affairs are generally considered taboo by society, but sometimes you might fall for someone without knowing they’re married.

You probably have feelings you’re keeping tucked away in your heart, too.

This article introduces songs about “affairs.”

Some songs depict people already in an affair, while others are about accepting there’s no future and choosing to part ways.

Many of these tracks express painful emotions, so you may find one that resonates with how you feel.

PORNOGRAFFITTI “Let Me Peek into the Depths of Your Eyes (Short ver.)”

Let me peek into the depths of your eyes, Porno Graffitti

It’s a love song in Porno Graffitti’s signature Carmen style.

It truly sings of an ‘forbidden love,’ expressing the dangerous give-and-take of romance with beautiful words.

It’s like watching a novel or a movie, drawing you into the world of the two lovers.

Is the boyfriend older, perhaps? He seems to know every trick in the book when it comes to love.

The woman wants to probe his true feelings, but he absolutely refuses to reveal what’s in his heart.

I don't intend to ruin your happiness, but [a cunning person]

Mio Yamazaki, the sly person

Mio Yamazaki captivates many women with songs that set raw, unfiltered lyrics about a woman’s heart to loud rock sounds.

It seems the protagonist of the lyrics has fallen for a man who already has a family.

Even though she knows it can never be a happy love, she can’t help liking him and wanting to see him.

The lyrics portray the pain of an affair and the anguish of being unable to escape.

OH,NO OH,YESAkina Nakamori

[Official] Akina Nakamori / OH NO, OH YES! (Live in ’87 A HUNDRED days at Tokyo Kosei Nenkin Kaikan, 1987.10.17) AKINA NAKAMORI

OH, NO OH, YES Akina Nakamori

This is a song written and composed by Mariya Takeuchi and provided to Akina Nakamori.

It was included on the 1986 album “CRIMSON,” and the following year Mariya Takeuchi released her own self-cover.

Instead of choosing a warm married life while living alone in the big city, the protagonist chooses a love that can never be permitted.

It portrays the poignant feelings of an office worker wandering the city at night.

“The person I fell in love with just happened to have a family” is a common story.

The frightening thing about love is that, even knowing the moment you step in you will hurt someone and be hurt yourself, you still can’t stop.

Dear…Kana Nishino

Kana Nishino 'Dear...(short ver.)'

Dear… Kana Nishino

This is a song by Kana Nishino that conveys the pain of bittersweet affection and unrequited love.

The melancholic piano sound evokes the feeling of softly murmuring one’s sorrow, and the expansive development of the music strikingly expresses emotions overflowing.

The lyrics, which capture the inner movements of the heart when burdened with feelings that won’t reach their destination or love that cannot be fulfilled, further emphasize the poignancy.

By also depicting the ideal of “what if these feelings had reached you,” the song renders the suffering even more vividly.

COMPLEX BLUE -Love Alone Is Too Sorrowful- (THE ALFEE 2021)

COMPLEX BLUE - Only Love Is Too Sad THE ALFEE

This sings of a woman’s sorrow after parting from the man she loves.

He has another partner, and their relationship is forbidden.

She understands that, but she can’t help loving him deeply.

The two love each other profoundly, yet they have no choice but to part.

It’s unbearably painful, but because it’s an affair and they can’t be together openly, she has to give up…

BibleYasuyuki Okamura

It’s a slightly unusual song about the feelings of a male high school student whose female classmate is dating a 35-year-old married man.

He keeps saying, “I’d be better for you,” but she brushes him off with, “I can like whoever I want! It’s my business! Don’t be ridiculous!” Still, he can’t help thinking that being loved this much by someone else might be better than having an affair.

Anyone who is having an affair will understand all too well the pain of seeing the everyday life, the home, and the family of the person they’ve fallen in love with.

The words, “You’re not someone I mustn’t love—you’re someone who will never love me,” are unbearably heartbreaking.
