1/3 No Junjou Na Kanjou

The song '1/3 No Junjou Na Kanjou' by Flow is a poignant expression of unrequited love and the frustration of feelings that remain uncommunicated. The title itself, which translates to '1/3 of Pure Feelings,' suggests that only a fraction of the singer's emotions are able to reach the object of their affection, leaving the majority of their pure, earnest feelings spinning in place, unacknowledged and unreciprocated.

The lyrics depict a narrator who is deeply in love, to the point of feeling broken, yet unable to convey even a simple 'I love you' to their beloved. This internal struggle is further emphasized by the contrast between the warmth of the loved one's smile, which can alleviate the coldness of a freezing night, and the narrator's own inability to express their love, which leaves them feeling cold and alone. The repeated pleas for a smile and 'shiny days' reflect a longing for happiness and connection, which the narrator believes can be achieved through the reciprocation of their feelings.

The song also touches on the paradox of desire, where the more the narrator longs for their love, the more acutely they feel the painful distance between them. This is a common theme in love songs, capturing the universal experience of loving someone from afar and the bittersweet nature of unspoken affection. Despite the heartache, the narrator remains hopeful, believing that any obstacle can be overcome if they could just hold their love in their arms.
