[Cheating Song] A forbidden love that crossed the line — infidelity song

Call measmi

Call me – asmi (Official Music Video)

This is a song by asmi that straightforwardly portrays an episode of being tormented and swayed by a love she couldn’t stop.

While the sound has a glamorous feel with added brass, the inclusion of airy, floating tones is also striking, giving the impression that the instability of the heart is being emphasized.

Alongside her frustration toward a man who approached her saying he was about to break up with his girlfriend, the lyrics also depict self-deprecation for letting herself be tossed around by him.

The detailed depiction of episodes—like realizing she had become the other woman—vividly conjures up the scenes and sharply conveys the pain.

Flower “Snow White” — 2nd album “Hanadokei (Flower Clock)” out 3/4

One of the signature songs by Flower, the dance and vocal group that sadly disbanded in 2019, is “Snow White.” The theme of this song is an unrequited love.

Those who are involved in an affair will likely find the feelings expressed painfully relatable.

The lyrics evoke a hush of falling snow; you can almost feel the cold, and that chill mirrors the turmoil of a heart swayed by a love that cannot be.

It’s a tear-jerker that captures the poignant wish to be told, once and for all, “I hate you,” and to cut things cleanly.

Shikao Suga / Sweet Fruit

What Shikao Suga has crafted is a song from the perspective of a man who’s been cheated on.

Sung over a suspicious, shadowy melody, it portrays a deep love that borders on frightening—a stubborn fixation on his girlfriend even after her infidelity.

“I have to find a way to bring all of your feelings back to me, even though you cheated and drifted away…” It might seem like a normal emotion, but the reason it feels terrifying could lie in Suga’s world of melody and his choice of words.

The driving band performance conveys a sense of sorrow that only intensifies.

After the nightadieu

adieu [after the night]

The song Yoruno Ato, sung by actress Moka Kamishiraishi under the name adieu.

Speaking of Moka Kamishiraishi, in addition to her acting ability, her cute looks and smile are very popular.

However, this song is a very mature woman’s song—a love song about parting ways with someone you love.

Because the lyrics seem to suggest the two are keeping their relationship a secret, some say it’s a song about an affair or infidelity.

Listening from that perspective, the chorus sounds like words of resignation, and also like a wish—“I wanted you to love only me.”

“Can’t Stop Fallin’ In Love” is a song that portrays the painful feelings of a woman drowning in an adulterous love.

Released in 1996 by globe, led by Tetsuya Komuro, it sold over 1.3 million copies and is known as the group’s third biggest hit.

The lyrics capture the unique anxieties of an affair—worrying about the relationship between the partner and his wife, and agonizing over one’s own happiness.

KEIKO’s vocals make the protagonist’s heartrending emotions feel even more real in this track.
