A wonderful heartbreak song

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.

Heartbreak songs by Japanese all-female bands (21–30)

It’s a breakup song from a man’s perspective, sung by the girls’ band Nakanomori BAND.

Men can be pretty sentimental creatures, so when a woman sings about a man’s broken heart, it really hits the mark.

It’s a very cool track—definitely give it a listen.

A song in which she sings one after another about the gifts she received from the man she loved.

Despite giving her so many presents, it turns out he actually had a girlfriend—so it’s a heartbreak song.

It’s upbeat ska music, so it really gets the crowd going.

It’s also fun to turn it into a parody when you sing it at karaoke.

This is a track from Chatmonchy’s first album, “Miminari,” released in 2006.

The guitar arpeggios evoke raindrops falling to the ground, while the solid bassline creates a damp, heavy atmosphere.

The lyrics are calmly resolved to say goodbye, and their poignancy makes this a gently affecting heartbreak song.

Come see me, I NEED YOU!GO-BANG’S

GO-BANG’S “Come See Me I NEED YOU!”
Come see me, I NEED YOU!GO-BANG'S

This song is about the romantic feelings of a bold, confident woman.

The lyrics are amusingly bubble-era in flavor, with her relentlessly urging a guy who already has a girlfriend to “come see me,” making advances with persistent enthusiasm.

It’s such a high-energy track that it boosts your mood in an instant.

It’s a fierce heartbreak song by Gacharic Spin, the powerhouse girls’ band nicknamed “Gachapin.” With overwhelming musicianship, they sing about love.

The aggression and impact are tremendous.

It’s the kind of track that blows away the pain of a broken heart.

It’s not just heartbreak—life is full of worries and hardships.

This is a life-affirming anthem that carries a message to believe in yourself and keep living strong even in those times.

Though it’s sung by a young woman, it feels convincing—a powerful track.

You and the slopesSHISHAMO

It’s their fourth single, released in 2015.

The song expresses the frustration and regret of not being able to convey your feelings to someone you love.

It’s a track that brings up feelings of jealousy and memories of happier days, to the point that tears start to fall.
