A Tearful Farewell Song: A Love Song About Parting with Someone You Love

Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
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.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Even when you understand it in your head, an unexpected breakup with a partner is hard because your feelings can’t keep up.

Everyone has different reasons for breaking up, but I imagine most people feel the same way—“it hurts,” “I just want to cry.”

In this article, we’re picking out tear-jerking breakup songs from popular love songs.

Focusing on tracks that sing about lingering feelings of love, we’ll introduce breakup songs that stay close to your heart.

When you feel like crying, give them a listen.

This song, “Koi to Ai” by Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE, sings of a sorrowful parting and romance from a male perspective.

It’s a track included on the 2018 album “FUTURE.” Though voiced from a man’s viewpoint, its lyrics—resolving to say goodbye even while understanding a woman’s heart—will surely move and bring tears to female listeners as well.

It’s a mature number that says, “I love you, but let’s part while still in love.”

Covered by many artists, this number can be called a standard farewell song.

“Olivia” refers to the British singer Olivia Newton-John, and it’s unusual to have an artist’s name in the title.

The chord progression, melody, and lyrics at the end of the chorus evoke an indescribable catharsis.

To Those Who Know the Blue of the Skyaimyon

Aimyon – A Person Who Knows the Blue of the Sky [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

To Those Who Know the Blue of the Skyaimyon

A song by Aimyon that serves as the theme for the film Her Blue Sky.

While looking back on everyday moments, it portrays a bittersweet feeling of “I didn’t like it at all back then, but now I find myself longing for it.” The lyrics are moving, even as they contrast with Aimyon’s characteristically catchy, easy-to-listen melody.

Along with the sadness, it’s a song that lets you feel the scent of youth—awkward and raw, yet absolutely wonderful.

Song of PointillismMrs. GREEN APPLE

A gem of a duet song that delicately weaves together the tenderness of a budding crush and the sorrow of parting.

Released in 2018 as an insert song for the film “Aonatsu: 30 Days with You,” it blends the voices of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE and Sonoko Inoue into a track that leaves a fleeting yet warm afterglow.

From both male and female perspectives, it carefully portrays the joy of meeting, the premonition of goodbye, and feelings that are hard to put into words.

The gentle tones of piano and acoustic guitar express the subtle shifts of the heart as summer draws to a close.

It is a heartwarming piece that offers comfort to those who have experienced parting with someone dear or who wish to cherish irreplaceable memories.
