Unrequited love breakup songs from Western music. World-famous classics and popular hits.

I’m sure everyone has had times when their feelings didn’t get through and they ended up giving up.

It would be nice if the other person felt at least a little interest in return for how much you like them.

This time, I’d like to introduce some wistful, melancholy Western songs about unrequited love and heartbreak.

Even if you don’t understand the Japanese lyrics, I think the melody and the way they’re sung will still convey the feelings.
