Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

Has anyone gone through a breakup now that autumn has arrived?

There are all kinds of heartbreaks—like the end of a blazing “summer fling,” or unrequited love that never came true after longing for so long.

Unlike summer, with its many fun events and liberating mood, autumn has a calmer atmosphere that can feel a bit lonely.

If you experience a breakup in such a season, you might feel even more wistful and sentimental than usual.

In this article, I’ll introduce heartbreak songs that perfectly match the autumn vibe.

They’re all gentle tracks that will stay close to your heart, so take your time and listen.
