This is LAST is a three-piece rock band.
Their song “#What Is Affection” is a bittersweet infidelity track that was also featured as an insert song on ABEMA’s original dating show “The Bachelor and the Little Wolf Won’t Fool Me.” What makes this song compelling is that it doesn’t depict cheating scenes directly; instead, it weaves together a woman’s lines and a man’s lines, crossing to suggest a single story and indirectly portraying a past mistake through the lyrics.
Because the imagery invites interpretation, the song can feel different depending on what you imagine—making it easy to project onto your own situation.

A song with lyrics so shocking that I want you to listen while carefully reading them.
Cocco’s “Countdown” is her debut single, released in 1997.
Judging from the lyrics, it’s a track where she fiercely berates a boyfriend who has cheated, and it’s so impactful you might even think playing it for your boyfriend or husband could serve as a deterrent to cheating.
While the lyrics prominently feature scolding and violent expressions, it shows just how indescribably painful it is for someone who has been cheated on.

The heart sways painfully between the anguish of being betrayed and the overwhelming feeling of still loving you.
It’s a song that gives voice to that inner cry—gentle yet powerful.

You could say it’s the quintessential “cheating” song—the word even appears right there in the title… Yes, it’s ‘Cheating in the Third Year.
’ Released in August 1982 as the debut single by Hiroshi & Kībō, it became a big hit.
Thanks to how easy it is to sing, it’s also a staple duet number that’s crossed eras and generations.
I love you.Laughing Hick

This song is told from the perspective of someone whose feelings for their partner have completely cooled and who is starting to look toward someone else.
It portrays the misunderstandings born from the frustrations they both carried, and the emotions that have been damaged beyond repair.
The refreshing sound is striking in contrast to the lyrics, conveying a clear, liberated feeling as if the singer has shaken off their attachment.
The brazen attitude of saying that cheating goes both ways, and the way they hurl insults at their partner, also reveal a shift in their emotions.
