Recommended breakup songs for women in their 50s: Classic and popular Japanese tracks (81–90)
Dumped, banzai!Kondō Masahiko
As the title suggests, this is Matchi’s heartbreak song.
Back then, breakup songs tended to be either dark and moody or upbeat and defiant—like “Yeah, I got dumped!” This one is definitely the latter: breezy, carefree, and very much in Matchi’s style.
I can’t help wanting to see you.Gō Hiromi
Even now, fans from back in the day still show up at his dinner shows—Hiromi Go and his fans are both going strong.
Amid the cover-song boom, this original track stands out; it’s a breakup song that conveys a mature sense of heartache.
Sky Restauranthaifaisetto
“Sky Restaurant” is a song written by Yuming and performed by Hi-Fi Set.
Originally, Yuming was supposed to sing and release it herself, but it ended up being shelved.
The sound is bossa nova–tinged and urban.
It portrays the complex emotional shifts of a woman who, harboring a premonition of a breakup, arrives at the meeting place with her lover—likely a restaurant on the upper floors of a high-rise.
It was released in 1975.
I’m glad I met you.Koizumi Kyoko
“I’m Glad I Met You” is a single released by Kyoko Koizumi in 1991.
It was the theme song for the commercial TV drama “Papa to Natchan.” The lyrics are said to be based on Kyon Kyon’s own experience of parting with someone important to her.
To date, this song remains her biggest hit, and it’s one that adults in particular should sing.
No matter how painful the farewells or experiences, nothing is ever in vain.
Love is overŌyō Fifi
Ouyang Fei Fei is a singer from Taiwan.
She is still active in music, mainly based in Taiwan.
She has a hit song composed by The Ventures called “Ame no Midosuji,” but if you’re going to sing at karaoke, I recommend “Love Is Over.” It’s a relaxed ballad; although it’s about heartbreak, the female protagonist remains poised and dignified, so it doesn’t feel gloomy.
That’s its charm.
