Songs women like. Famous and popular Japanese songs.

O-Shichi and the Night Cherry BlossomsFuyumi Sakamoto

Fuyumi Sakamoto – Yozakura O-Shichi

This is a song about unrequited love, told from a woman’s perspective.

Rather than simply expressing what she likes, it directly conveys a blazing, overflowing passion for the man she’s fallen for.

Although “cherry blossoms” are the theme, the song’s image color might be better described as red than cherry blossom pink.

Instead of enka, it features a chic, rock-like melody, and the contrast with the beauty of the Japanese lyrics makes it feel fresh.

Playback Part 2 # Momoe Yamaguchi (CD audio)

Even someone like me, who isn’t from Momoe-chan’s generation or anything, knows this song, and her low voice is sexy and truly cool.

It’s a song that lets you picture a woman on top, commanding a man with real authority.

In reality it doesn’t work that way, so it’s also a song that makes you long to become a woman that cool.

Shinichi Mori - Winter Riviera

When a man and a woman fall in love, it’s inevitable that there may come a day when it ends.

At that moment, what matters most is how cleanly, neatly, and beautifully they can part ways.

How wonderful it would be to say goodbye to the man you love with the kind of cool composure shown by the woman in this song.

I imagine many people feel the same way when they listen to it.

Perch Dream LanternKaori Kouzai

Kaori Kozai – “Perch Dream Light”

This song portrays a meeting and romance between a man and a woman in a lively nightlife district.

Although they loved each other, they end up parting ways, and it gently conveys the feelings of a woman who still cannot forget him.

Her only emotional support is the belief that she will surely reunite with him someday and once again spend happy time together as they did before.

In an era when people’s hearts are so easily swayed, many may find such a promise especially moving.
