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.

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.

As he looks back on their memories, the man regrets how hopeless he is, yet wishes happiness for the girlfriend he broke up with.

Still, even while wishing her well, he can’t let go of his own feelings—his hopelessness really hits home.

Goodbye # Naoko Ken

See ya. Naoko Ken

This song was the 12th single released by Naoko Ken in 1976, written and composed by Miyuki Nakajima.

It’s a masterpiece born from what you might call an ideal pairing: a song crafted by Nakajima, who is known for her strength with heartbreak-themed pieces, and performed by Ken, who seems especially adept at singing such songs.

Nakajima later covered the song herself on her 1979 album “Okaerinasai.”

Shall we break up?Miyuhan

Shall we break up?Miyuhan

I’d like to introduce “Wakareyokka” as a highly relatable breakup song.

It’s a track released by singer-songwriter and voice actor Miyuhan.

This ballad features a guitar-driven sound and portrays a woman who’s grown tired of a boyfriend that doesn’t cherish her, as she decides to end the relationship, along with the inner conflict leading up to it.

As you listen, pay attention to how the ending unfolds and when the titular phrase makes its appearance.

It’s sure to give you a jolt.

I want to see you – Chikaco Sawada

I want to see you.sawada chikako

A poignant ballad marked by Chikaco Sawada’s gentle vocals that tenderly embrace the deep sorrow of losing a loved one and the aching hope of reunion.

From beautiful memories with a lover to a sudden parting—and the powerful love that still remains in the heart—are expressed through delicate lyrics and melody.

Released in June 1990, this track was single-cut from the album “I miss you.” It was used as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Tonight” and in a Nisshin Flour Mills commercial, gradually gaining attention and ultimately becoming a million-seller.

For those who have lost someone precious in life or who hold someone far away in their thoughts, it will surely resonate deeply.

Huwie Ishizaki – Where Are You

Where are you?Ishizaki Hyuui

Huwie Ishizaki is a singer-songwriter known for writing hit songs such as “Sayonara Elegy” and “Niji,” which he provided for Masaki Suda.

“Where Are You,” the opening track on his third mini-album Golden Age, was selected as the ending theme for the TV drama Sasurai Onsen ♨ Endo Kenichi.

Its lyrics, which sing of someone unforgettable even after parting, are likely to resonate with anyone struggling to get over a heartbreak.

With a striking introductory guitar riff and an offbeat rhythm that lingers in the ear, it’s a rock tune that blends a sense of speed with a touch of melancholy.
