This is LAST “Balance” lyric video
BalanceNEW!This is LAST

Are my feelings the only ones weighing heavy, or is this love? That kind of hazy romantic distance is hard to navigate, isn’t it? This track, included on This is LAST’s mini-album “aizou,” released in November 2019, is a rock tune that vividly portrays the raw contradiction between wanting to be loved and being unable to be honest.

Though it never had a major tie-in, it spread widely through word of mouth and live shows, and it remains popular to this day.

A refined retake version is also featured on the album “HOME,” released in March 2024.

It gently stays by the side of a heart that ends up putting on a brave face precisely because it cares, and can’t quite express its affection.

This is a work I especially recommend to anyone struggling with the blurry line between friendship and romance.

aiko - “Byeee” (from “Love Like Pop vol.22” Tokyo Garden Theater, December 14, 2021)
ByeeeNEW!aiko

This is a song that openly pours out the emptiness and resentment of a love that has ended, while conveying a resolve to move forward.

The powerful vocals, as if cutting off lingering attachment, resonate deeply in the chest.

Created by the singer-songwriter aiko, this track opens her album How Can I Possibly Tell You, released in March 2021.

Though it had no media tie-ins, its weighty arrangement featuring strings leaves a strong impression of its world, and it holds an important place in live performances.

It doesn’t romanticize breakups; instead, it accepts the emotions that have built up in the heart, making it perfect for when you want to put some distance between yourself and the past.

If you’re determined to let go of feelings for your ex and step into a new life, be sure to give this song a listen.

luv – bye<3 (Official Music Video)
bye<3NEW!luv

関西発のバンド、luvが2026年4月にリリースした配信シングル「bye<3」。春の出会いと別れ、そして新生活への歩みを優しく描いた楽曲です。ネオソウルやファンクを取り入れた心地よいグルーヴと、都会的なキーボードの響きが絶妙に絡み合い、どこかノスタルジックな雰囲気を醸し出しています。大げさな別れの悲しみではなく、愛情や余韻を残しつつ、次のステージへ進む柔らかな気持ちが表現されています。同年にはSpotifyの「RADAR: Early Noise 2026」にも選出されるなど、勢いに乗る彼ら自身の状況とも重なるようなストーリー性が感じられますね。引っ越しや環境の変化を前に、静かな夜やリラックスタイムにそっと聴きたくなる一曲です。

This is a breakup song that captures the pain of a love that can’t be easily cut off.

Even though the person is hurt and swayed by their partner’s words, they can’t help but hold onto hope somewhere, unable to let go—those complicated feelings are sung gently in AYANE’s candid, down-to-earth lyrics over a mid-tempo, R&B-based sound.

Released in September 2022, the track was later included on the album “#Twenty,” which gathers emotions of her generation.

It’s a song that quietly stays by the side of anyone who resolved to say goodbye but whose heart can’t quite catch up—someone who wants to end it but just can’t.

On a night when you want to sever lingering attachment, how about listening to this song and facing your honest feelings?

It’s a collaborative track by singer-songwriter Riria and Arekun.
