Love Song Ballads (21–30)
GarnetHanako Oku
A signature song by Hanako Oku, chosen as the theme for the animated film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, which earned high praise at numerous film festivals.
Its refreshing lyrics and simple sound vividly evoke a summer of youth.
Oku’s pure, unaffected voice gently sinks into the heart.
For students it feels real; for adults it’s nostalgic.
Why not put the feeling of “I’m glad I met you” into a song and subtly appeal to the guy you’re interested in?
tobacco / cigarette(s)Koresawa
A popular song released by Koresawa in 2017.
It’s a bittersweet track about feelings for a lover who used to smoke.
Sometimes, precisely because you love someone, you end up saying too much—and you can regret it when things become irreversible.
It might feel a touch heavy, but I think it’s perfect for when you want a calm, mellow mood.
Koresawa’s laid-back singing is soothing, the gentle atmosphere is lovely, and it makes you want to hear the person you’re with sing it in a mild, easygoing way.
When cherry-blossom hues danceMika Nakashima
Mika Nakashima’s hit number “Sakurairo Mau Koro.” Although it was released in 2005, it’s a ballad with a beautifully memorable melody that still captivates listeners—so many people can probably still sing it today.
And of course, when you hear this song, memories of that time, that place, and that season come flooding back; I think many people feel the same.
Depending on your generation, it might hit you right in the sweet spot, so why not choose just the right moment and give this song a try?
Prisoner Of LoveHikaru Utada
It was released in 2008 as Hikaru Utada’s 21st single.
The track was cut as a single from her fifth album, “HEART STATION,” and was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama ‘Last Friends.
’ It’s a song I want you to sing with a cool, striking vibe.
Tell Me Tell Me ☆PiKi
This PiKi track is packed with that sweet-and-sour feeling of wanting to know how your crush really feels.
Released as a single in July 2025, it was chosen as the theme song for a segment on “Oha Suta.” Riding a catchy sound woven from rhythmic beats and futuristic synthesizers, the lyrics express the pure flutter of a protagonist whose mind is completely occupied by the one they like.
The harmony blending Karen Matsumoto’s clear, translucent voice with Haruka Sakuraba’s warm tone is just wonderful.
It’s perfect for when you want to savor the heart-pounding excitement of a love that’s just beginning!
YOU… feat. Izumi Nakasone (HY)Miliyah Kato
Speaking of collaborations between powerhouse female singers, we can’t forget this song by Miliyah Kato and Izumi Nakasone of HY.
Based on real unrequited-love stories sent in by radio listeners, the two artists co-created this gem of a ballad.
Released in September 2014 as their 30th single, it was also included on the milestone 10th-anniversary album “MUSE.” The frustration of not being able to put your feelings into words, and the emotional wavering as you move toward confessing your love, come through poignantly in the harmony between Kato’s delicate vocals and Nakasone’s warm voice.
Chosen as the theme song for a radio drama, this track just might gently give you the push you need if you’re struggling with a one-sided love.
LONELYMiliyah Kato feat. LANA
This is a track by Miliyah Kato—known for her realistic, highly relatable lyrics—teaming up with new-generation icon LANA.
The theme of the song is “loneliness.” It powerfully conveys the honest feeling of “I’m not okay” hidden behind a brave front, and the earnest wish to simply have someone by your side.
Over a mellow beat crafted by KM, the emotional vocals of Miliyah Kato blend with LANA’s cool flow, stirring the heart.
Released in July 2024, the song also drew attention as a collaboration between a Heisei-era gal and a Reiwa-era gal.
On nights when you feel alone, this song, which seems to speak on your behalf, will surely stay gently by your side.
