Kana Nishino’s track is one that soothes the pain of heartbreak and gives you the courage to look forward.

With its upbeat rhythm and bright melody, just listening to it is enough to bring a natural smile to your face.

The lyrics, which paint the small joys of everyday life, are sure to gently reach even those weighed down by heavy feelings.

Released in May 2017, the song was used in Otsuka Foods’ “Vitamin Carbonated MATCH” commercial and as the theme song for NTV’s “Sukkiri!!.” Speaking about its production, Kana Nishino shared that “a voice from my heart just slipped out.” It’s a perfect song for anyone who wants to regain their smile after tears.

Kanjani Eight are constantly active individually and show up in the media almost every day.

This song packs all of their power tightly into one track.

Their freewheeling performance feels like it goes beyond the boundaries of Johnny’s.

It’s a pretty overly bright song, so I wouldn’t recommend listening to it right after a breakup, but it’s definitely a number that will give you courage.

Mao Abe always captures raw emotions so well, whether it’s through love songs that stay close to the heart or upbeat tracks that lift you up.

Her song “Sorezore Arukidasou” is less a breakup song and more a “post-breakup” song—perfect for someone who’s ready to open a new door.

The lyrics reflect on a past boyfriend and past love, acknowledging one’s own shortcomings, engraving it firmly as a page in memory, and then saying, “Let’s move on!” as both people step forward onto new paths.

There are surely many who share the same situation and feelings.

This song is about that lingering attachment—the feeling that, even though you know it’s over, you still find yourself wanting to cling to the memories.

The repeated chorus expresses that straightforward emotion.

You can let yourself sink into the sadness, and from there, feel ready to move forward.

To move forwardAbe Mao

A sweet, heartrending vocal that sinks deep into your heart.

This is a May 2024 release from Mao Abe.

It’s a cheer song that gives you the courage to take a new step forward, even while carrying the pain of a broken heart.

It drew attention through a collaboration with Shueisha’s popular manga “I Want a Love That Forgets You.” The lyrics portray the highs and lows of watching for read receipts on messages and a love you just can’t let go of.

Yet it also conveys a resolve to overcome the past and move forward.

Perfect not only for those troubled by love, but also for anyone ready for a fresh start.

Give it a listen—and take your own first step forward.

Adolescent relationships are tricky, aren’t they? Many people probably worry that if they don’t keep in step with their friends, they’ll be disliked.

The song “Otome-domo yo” also portrays the feelings of a girl who tries to give up on love in order to prioritize her friendships.

She once struggled to get along with friends while staying true to herself, and those memories have become almost traumatic for her.

But in the end, she regains her sense of self and becomes positive about love as well.

It’s a song I recommend when you’re feeling troubled—one that will gently lighten your heart.
