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 by Aimyon portrays a cohabitation that was supposed to begin with a vision of a bright future for two people, but gradually stopped working without them noticing, as small things—like misunderstandings and differences of opinion—piled up.

For those who have continued living together while feeling bewildered by a cooling relationship—wondering, “Have they stopped loving me?” “Do they not like my cooking?”—and blaming themselves, the pain of this situation will feel all too familiar.

Don’t you think that listening to this song and being able to think, “Maybe this kind of thing happens a lot,” might make your heart feel just a little lighter?
