Is there a word for nostalgia, wistfulness or yearning for something never personally experienced? If not natively to English but a loanword, it seems a common enough experience that there would be.

Forlorn seems somewhat close, but the emotion would be more sad than happy.
There's a word in japanese for it but I forget.
God, that cover.

Anticipation is a more obvious word, but not so good either. You could try and combine it with something like " an anticipatory-wistfulness"

That was it. Alternatively, the brazilian "Saudade"

Cheers, that was another concept that I'd read about some time ago but could not remember.Certainly useful, but I feel Saudade might work better.

kek my portuguese jimmies are rustled. There is no 'Brazilian' language, Brazil's official language is Portuguese which in their case has some variations such as accent and specific idiomatic expressions.
In Portuguese 'Saudade(s)' means the emocional yearning for something which has gone absent and is causing sadness or pain. For instance the feeling one gets off a friend or a place one has not seen for a long time. You can yearn for something or someone you have never had or met before but you cannot say you feel 'saudades'. There is an obligatory condition of having had something that you don't anymore
