A breakup song with great lyrics. A beautiful message that lingers in the heart.

I can’t stop this sadness.Anri

Junichi Inagaki & Yuki Koyanagi – I Can't Stop the Loneliness

When it comes to Anri’s heartbreak songs, many people probably think of “Listening to Olivia.” It’s a classic, isn’t it? But if I heard “Olivia” right after a breakup, it would bring back so many memories like a revolving lantern that I might end up crying for real.

So instead, please give a listen to “Kanashimi ga Tomaranai,” which tells the story of, “Wait a second—did I get my heart broken because you, my best friend, stole my boyfriend?” This one is highly recommended too.

Seiko Matsuda “Eyes Are a Diamond” (from Super Diamond Revolution)

“The Wind Rises,” “I Want to See You,” “Heart Earrings,” and “Eyes Are Diamonds” are representative breakup songs by Seiko Matsuda.

Among them, “Eyes Are Diamonds” especially conveys, through its lyrics, the feelings of a woman trying to act strong and move forward.

“Even if I shed many tears, I should be stronger than this.

But still, the tears won’t stop…” That’s often how it is when a true love comes to an end, isn’t it?

Love Squall /casamila [cover version]

It’s the ending theme of the anime Lupin the Third.

It’s common for couples to grow out of sync—whether it’s schedules and day-to-day life, or feelings drifting apart.

“I tell you that our distance makes me anxious, but you won’t really face it.

You always slip away somehow, and even though we’re together, it feels like I’m heartbroken.

Someday, please ease my fears—tell me you love me.” Haven’t you ever felt that way?

Hitomi Ishikawa – Ambush

Machibuse is a song performed by Hitomi Ishikawa, written by Yumi Matsutoya.

Later, Yuming herself released a self-cover, bringing the song back into the spotlight.

The lyrics say, “I’ve always liked you.

I couldn’t tell you how I felt.

But I won’t express these feelings straightforwardly—I’ll make you turn around and notice me.” It’s about taking a kind of revenge on the one who broke your heart—that, too, is a woman’s heart.

I can’t dance well.Ishikawa Seri

SERI ISHIKAWA Seri Ishikawa I Can’t Dance Well

It’s Seri Ishikawa’s “I Can’t Dance Well.” It’s also widely known as a song by Yosui Inoue.

When people go through heartbreak, many of them can’t get anything done.

Things they could usually handle without thinking suddenly become impossible, and they keep failing… When Yosui Inoue expresses that state of being unable to do anything, it takes on this kind of flavor.
