[Older × Younger] Songs about age-gap romance | A curated selection of gem-like love songs (1–10)
Love You, Miss YouKana Nishino
Kana Nishino is a singer-songwriter who perfectly speaks for the complex feelings of young women.
Among her songs, “Love You, Miss You” is a sweet love song set to dance-pop, capturing the heart of a girl enthralled by an age-gap romance.
What’s wonderful is how the four-on-the-floor “don, don, don, don” rhythm expresses the burning desire to stay by her lover’s side.
The biggest highlight is the build-up right before the chorus: the rising synthesizer phrase—often used in EDM—amplifies the feeling of being in love.
A love with you from nine steps apartWHITE JAM
WHITE JAM is a music group that began its activities in 2011.
Their song “A Love 9 Years Apart” is a poignant love ballad with lyrics based on actual LINE messages sent to a significant other.
The song’s appeal lies in the contrast between vocalist SHIROSE’s spoken, diary-like passages that lay bare his feelings and the catchy, melodic chorus.
There’s also a section in the interlude featuring a very high falsetto, whose pure tone is enough to make your chest tighten.
