A breakup song by a Japanese girls’ band
Many heartbreak songs by all-girl bands feature intense language, candid depictions, and a strong rock-band vibe.
Because the lyrics often capture raw, real emotions, listeners may find it easier to relate—perhaps that’s the secret to their popularity.
This time, I’d like to introduce breakup songs by Japanese all-girl bands.
Breakup Songs by Japanese All-Girl Bands (1–10)
I don’t plan to see you again—take care.SCANDAL
It’s a masterpiece that portrays the breakup of a couple who were once together.
She sings, with grace and swagger, about the turmoil in a woman’s heart stirred by the parting words—“Take care”—from someone she’ll likely never see again.
The raw lyrics and top-tier musicianship make this a song that grabs you by the heart.
Goodbye, Identityyonige
I think the lyrics are very deep.
They capture the genuine feelings of a girl who has experienced heartbreak.
The thoughts that arise in fleeting moments are often quickly forgotten, but Ushimaru is very good at capturing those instantaneous emotions and turning them into songs.
voiceSCANDAL
This song is included on the album “Queens are trumps – Kirifuda wa Queen -.” Although HARUNA is the main vocalist of SCANDAL, MAMI handles the vocals on this track.
The lyrics overflow with heartbreak, sadness, and a questioning tone that leaves a lasting impression.
Hoshigaoka ParkHump Back
It’s a masterpiece that knocks you out with vocalist Momoko Hayashi’s incredible expressiveness.
You’ll be drawn in by her powerful yet crystal-clear voice that carries far.
I think the lyrics will especially resonate with high school and college-aged women.
The strummed guitars feel great, too.
The Last Love LetterSabasusutā
A bittersweet medium-tempo rock ballad that says goodbye to feelings for a former lover along with a burning letter.
It’s a track by the three-piece girls’ band Sabashisuta, included near the end of their album “It’s Only Punk Rock!” released in October 2025.
Tracing concrete memories like guitar scale charts and lingering scents, it delicately portrays the narrator’s conflicted heart—wishing to be forgotten while tears keep falling.
Amid a collection filled with energetic punk numbers like the au Santaro CM song, Nachi’s down-to-earth words ride on a simple yet somehow wistful guitar sound that goes straight to the heart.
It’s a song to listen to closely on nights when you want to elevate a past love into a beautiful yet sorrowful memory.
avocadoyonige
A raw breakup song based on vocalist Arisa Ushimaru’s real-life experience.
It’s a cool yet bittersweet track that rocks out the sting of watching an ex-boyfriend start dating a model-level beauty.
It’s funny how, despite all the lingering feelings, it somehow comes off cool when put into song.
Makes you wonder what the ex will think when he hears it.
No way I’m going to forget it.SHISHAMO
An emotional rock number by SHISHAMO that hurls the anger and sorrow of heartbreak straight at you.
Included on the album “SHISHAMO 6,” released in January 2020, this track stands out for its unique structure, unfolding from a reggae-flavored beat into intense rock.
The protagonist’s searing emotions—crying, throwing up, and still trying to live on—pierce the heart through Asako Miyazaki’s vocals.
It’s a work that transforms the anger of heartbreak into catharsis.
