Deputy Editor of the web media RAG MUSIC. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. In my student days, I studied broadly at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, covering sound, lighting, and video technology, and acquired skills from comprehensive stage production to the fundamentals of creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, and have consistently built my career on the production side, taking on diverse tasks centered around music. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting in my own way, as well as insights and discoveries from interacting with my kids every day. I hope I can be of help to you, even just a little!

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.

If you’d like, try listening to any songs that catch your interest.

It’s a song about an affair told from a man’s perspective.

The one featured here is Yasushi Nakanishi’s “Saigo no Ame,” released in 1992.

Even nearly 30 years after its release, it’s still a classic covered by many.

The protagonist is told goodbye by the person he loves, and his burning feelings for her really hit you in the chest.

Maybe the mistress is saying goodbye so she can return to her husband, or maybe the wife has chosen her lover and is seeking a divorce—there are many possible situations.

What’s common to all of them, though, is a passionate love so strong that he doesn’t want to let her go.

It feels like a song that could be about an affair or cheating.

I love Aiko’s way of singing and her breath control.

They add depth to the song, and the phrasing of the lyrics is wonderful.

I think people interested in affairs, or women who are in the midst of an affair or cheating, will find many parts they can relate to.

Ms.

Sakai’s clear, translucent voice conveys a very poignant feeling.

If you just listen casually, it doesn’t sound like a song about an affair, but when you really pay close attention to the lyrics, it seems to depict an adulterous love.

The sense of her questioning herself is heartbreaking.
