A love that we can’t help but keep pursuing, even as we repeat regrets and failures.
It’s a bittersweet rock ballad themed around “growing up.” The song is by SHE’S, a piano rock band from Osaka, and is included on their fourth album, Tragicomedy, released in 2020.
The whisper-like vocals, the warm melody, and the lyrical message all fit together beautifully, and it really hits home.
By the time you finish listening, you’ll likely feel that heartbreak helps you grow.
Song of the WheelsBUMP OF CHICKEN
Farewells are sad, but no matter how painful a parting may be, at some point we have to see it in a positive light—that’s the feeling I think this song captures very well.
Just like its title, “Song of the Wheels,” the forward-rolling tempo vividly conveys the sense that life moves on in any circumstance.
It’s a song I recommend to anyone who wants to take a step forward.

Here’s a recommended track if you want a bright, upbeat breakup song: “Koibito Gokko” (“Playing Lovers”).
It’s a collaboration with Honda’s “Wanna ride a bike?” campaign, released in 2020 by Macaroni Enpitsu.
Looking at the lyrics, you can glimpse a protagonist who, despite being close to the person they like, can’t properly express their feelings.
In the end, they couldn’t confess and it seems they parted ways.
The regret of “I wanted to say it properly” is heartbreaking.
Still, it’s a love song that makes you feel, “Next time, I’ll surely tell them.”
Before you become a memorysupittsu
It’s a number that’s Spitz through and through.
The vocals—Masamune Kusano’s genius singing—really touch the heart.
It was also their first song to make the Oricon charts, and from there, Spitz’s appeal probably spread across Japan.
The gentle lyrics and melody alone can soothe a broken heart.
It’s a must-listen as an encouraging breakup song that helps you keep your head up and move forward!
Aya ~Aja~Sazan Ōrusutāzu
A relatively rare bittersweet breakup song for Southern All Stars.
Speaking of Southern, it’s all about the sea! True to form, this track portrays the ocean in a way that mirrors the characters’ emotions.
It’s sung with a gentle, careful touch, showcasing a different charm from the image of Keisuke Kuwata we usually see on TV.
Until the day I can no longer rememberback number
Back number is a three-piece rock band beloved for their poignant, cinematic lyrics and vocals that amplify that world.
Their 3rd single, “Until the Day I Can’t Remember,” stands out for its striking contrast between edgy guitar tones and gentle strings.
The lyrics, which capture raw emotions anyone who’s been through heartbreak can relate to, are especially piercing if you’ve just gone through a breakup.
It’s a sentimental track that helps you accept your sadness and realize it’s okay not to forget your memories—letting them remain as memories while the song stays close to your heart.

empathizes with the bittersweet feeling of yearning for the day you can see that person again.
It was included on Arashi’s 2007 single Happiness, released by the nationally beloved idol group.

Its up-tempo development conveys the quickening beat of a heart.
With Sho Sakurai’s rap part and the five members’ layered vocals, it’s a soothing track.
