I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Breakups are part and parcel of romance.

Heartbreak can really take a toll on you.

Sure, some breakups leave you feeling refreshed, but far more often, that’s not the case.

There’s that sudden moment when you realize the person who was always by your side is gone… Just thinking about it makes your chest ache.

In this article, I’ve put together a collection of anime heartbreak songs.

They’re all gems that will soothe the wounds in your heart.

Letting a song lead you to watch the anime it’s from might be a nice change of pace, too—give it a try.

TV anime “The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses” Non-Credit Ending [Miki Satō - “Dramatic”] | Airing from April 7

Dramatic Miki Sato

This song was chosen as the ending theme for the anime The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses.

It’s sung by Miki Satō, a Hokkaido-born singer, and was released in April 2023.

It’s a bittersweet yet lighthearted breakup song with a touch of jazz.

The lyrics portray not only the pain of parting, but also a hopeful sentiment: “When we meet again someday, let it be with a smile.” A breakup is sad, but it can become a valuable experience that helps you grow someday—this song inspires that mindset.

Liar

Lying Moon, Yorushika

It is a ballad marked by the quiet melody of the piano and Suis’s gentle vocals.

Through vivid depictions of scenes in the rain and the symbolic image of drinking down moonlight, it delicately portrays the protagonist’s emotions as they face loss and loneliness.

Produced in June 2020 as the ending song for the Netflix feature-length animated film A Whisker Away, the piece was composed by Yorushika’s n-buna to reflect the film’s worldview while capturing the atmosphere from spring to early summer.

It is a song that will deeply resonate with those who wish to relive a fragile yet beautiful page of youth, as well as those who have experienced parting with someone dear.

In conclusion

Yeah, it really weighs on the heart… saying goodbye to someone important.

Come to think of it, I’ve heard that when you’re sad, it’s easier to reset your feelings by listening to a wistful ballad rather than forcing yourself to listen to upbeat songs.

So if you’ve made it this far checking out these tracks, there might be some of you who are already feeling a little lighter.
