Recommended breakup songs for women in their 50s: Classic and popular Japanese tracks (81–90)
Until we meet againOzaki Kiyohiko
He was so powerful in both his vocal ability and personality that you could call him the original wild singer.
Looking at the lyrics, it’s a heartbreak song, so I picked it out.
It’s also famous as a song often performed on impression/impersonation singing shows, and although it’s a breakup song, its melody isn’t in a minor key, making it a refreshing track.
Eyes Are Like DiamondsMatsuda Seiko
A slightly mature breakup song with the sparkling, candy-like voice of Seiko Matsuda—her “candy voice” nickname says it all.
The combination of lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto and music by Yumi Matsutoya (under the pen name Kureta Keiko) wonderfully conjures vivid scenes, making this one of Seiko’s hidden masterpieces.
Love Is OverŌyō Fifi
For those who were in their 50s, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call this song the ultimate heartbreak anthem.
It was released in 1979, and since it was on TV almost every week, I think many people ended up memorizing it.
It even became a karaoke standard that everyone sang.
Is Fifi Ouyang still active in Japan now?
Sentimental and DearTahara Toshihiko
It was Tahara’s debut single, a cover of Leif Garrett, and a breakup song at that—so realizing now just how incredibly popular it was back then, I really feel its impact.
People who were in middle or high school at the time probably remember the choreography.
Toshi-chan was so cute, after all.
bachelor girlInagaki Junichi
Junichi Inagaki is known for his gently heartfelt love songs, and this track—composed by Eiichi Ohtaki—retains a refreshing feel while deepening the poignancy of heartbreak.
By the way, “bachelor” is used to mean an unmarried man.
