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.

This song is known as a theme for the anime Gintama.

It’s a cool, rock-style number.

The lyrics can be a bit hard to grasp, but interpreting it as a love song is the right approach.

It stylishly sings about feelings swaying between ideals and reality.

Let’s keep singing until we turn to ash.

A three-member girls’ band, the peggies, sing a breakup song from a man’s perspective.

It charmingly delivers the feelings of a couple who, after a long relationship, decide to part ways—pairing bittersweet lyrics with a poppy melody.

The lyrics depict a forward-looking breakup and make you reflect on how heartbreak can take many different forms.

This song is about a brief summer romance.

Even though it’s a love that can never come true and they’ll never meet again, its positive message that there are no regrets is uplifting.

It’s a masterpiece that makes you realize some loves are meant to be kept as memories.

MADOKA’s assured vocal performance is truly impressive.

This song is perfect for blasting away the negativity after a breakup.

Its energy is ridiculously high, so those gloomy feelings just vanish.

The lyrics aren’t direct, but it’s a rock track that captures the dizzy, messy emotions you feel when you’re reeling from a breakup.

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.

Breakup songs by Japanese girls’ bands (41–50)

Desolate LoveAldious

It’s a melodic metal breakup song by the all-girl heavy metal band Aldious.

Despite being a breakup song, it’s insanely heavy metal and unbelievably cool.

Knowing that even such a badass, glamorous queen could yearn for love and get her heart broken somehow feels encouraging.

LINDBERG “You’re My Number One…” (Official Music Video) [Lyrics available via subtitle settings]
To be your number one…LINDBERG

This is one of LINDBERG’s signature songs that was hugely popular in the ’90s.

The female heart sung with Maki Watase’s gutsy, boyish vocal power really hits home.

It beautifully captures both sides of heartbreak: the positive resolve to become stronger even if you end up in tears, and the vulnerability that makes you feel like you might still complain.
