A Little Love SongMONGOL800
A MONGOL800 song that gently wraps a wistful love.
It expresses the bittersweetness of long-distance love and first love with simple, heartfelt lyrics.
Depicting a small love born in the vast universe that surely reaches the other person, this piece was included on the album “MESSAGE,” released in September 2001.
It has been covered by many artists and was used as a theme song in a film of the same name in 2019.
It’s perfect not only for women experiencing unrequited love, but also for moments when you want to feel the bond with someone special.

Blue SpringAkane (Otoame)
A single released in 2021 by the two-member music unit Onriame, made up of Akane and Akari.
Just like the title suggests, it’s a love song about a “girl in love” right in the midst of her youth, and the shoujo-manga-like world it creates is irresistible.
The music video is also recommended—you can experience firsthand a love story that charges straight ahead, even as she’s bewildered by and pokes fun at her own feelings.
As you listen to this song, savor to the fullest that faint yet aching feeling of “I really like you,” and enjoy the sweetness of a one-sided crush!
A triangular lovesaji
This song, “Triangular Love,” included on the 2020 mini-album Fireworks Poem, is a love song that conveys, almost painfully, the feeling of knowing an unrequited love won’t come true—and yet being unable to give up.
It’s about liking someone who, in turn, likes someone else, and it powerfully communicates that inner turmoil.
For those experiencing a similar love, it’s a track that may seize your heart with pain and move you to tears in deep empathy.
Blue and SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE
This song was used as the theme for the film Aonatsu: Kimi ni Koi Shita 30-nichi, released in the summer of 2018 and based on a popular comic.
People often say, “Mrs.
GREEN APPLE writes and sings songs like this too?” and this one is a straight-down-the-middle youth anthem that’s very much their style.
With its poppy, cute take on unrequited love that makes your heart flutter, it will likely resonate especially with middle and high school students.
It was released in 2018 as their seventh single.
