A Naked Heartaimyon
Many of you may have listened to “Naked Heart,” which was also the theme song for the drama My Housekeeper Mr.
Nagisa, while overlapping it with your own experiences.
One-sided love that never seems to go well.
Even so, the lyrics of this song—wishing to fall for someone again and to be accepted for who you are—gently resonate to the point of tears when you listen to it after a heartbreak.
It even portrays facing love once more at the end, making it a song that inspires you to think, “I’ll try again too.”
First LoveUtada Hikaru
It’s ‘First Love,’ included on Hikaru Utada’s debut album released in 1999.
It was a TV drama theme song at the time and has continued to be loved for a long time—it’s very famous, isn’t it? Even now, I’m amazed by the mature lyrics that are hard to believe were written when she was a teenager.
It’s a classic heartbreak love song, don’t you think?
Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
AKB48 is a girls’ group that has become virtually synonymous with idol groups in the modern J-pop scene, achieving immense popularity and name recognition.
Their 32nd major single, “Koi Suru Fortune Cookie,” became a massive hit thanks to its arrangement reminiscent of classic disco sounds and its irresistibly catchy, easy-to-copy dance.
Its positive message set to a cute melody might even help heal the wounds of heartbreak.
It’s a pop tune that inspires hope for the future and gives you the courage to bounce back from sadness.

whiteoutreGretGirl
Starting off rough—suddenly suffocating and then getting dumped—reGretGirl’s “Whiteout” begins with a scene like that.
The song is the first track on their debut mini-album “my,” released in 2017, and is well known as a breakup song from a male perspective.
Its realistic depiction of heartbreak might make some people relive their own painful experiences, but doesn’t it feel like only by overcoming this pain can we move on to the next stage?
It’ll get stained.Chatto Monchī
A heartbreak song from Chatmonchy, a band symbolic of girls’ rock, told from a woman’s perspective.
The man she broke up with seems to have been a smoker—cigarette smoke, his absence, a bitter taste, a dark night…
The lyrics deftly blend these images to express the pain of heartbreak and lingering regret.
It’s a song I’d recommend to any woman who still can’t shake her attachment.
not enoughwacci
This is a heartbreak song overflowing with poignancy, capturing the emotional turmoil of trying to sever lingering feelings for an ex.
Featured on wacci’s 2019 album Empathy, the track stands out for its lyrics written from a woman’s perspective.
Though she still has feelings, the protagonist’s struggle to choose a clean break in order to move forward is deeply affecting.
Positioned as a side story to “Betsu no Hito no Kanojo ni Natta yo,” a one-take recording was also released in 2020.
It’s a must-listen for anyone who’s gone from mutual love to one-sided, or who wants to move on but can’t quite bring themselves to do it.
SEASONSHamasaki Ayumi
Ayumi Hamasaki’s sixth single “SEASONS,” released in 2000, is one of her signature songs.
When the chorus comes on, many people probably think, “Oh, this song!” We all have someone or some feelings we just can’t forget.
Sometimes they come to mind out of nowhere, even when nothing in particular is happening.
I think this is a song that, when you listen to it at times like that, makes your heart feel a little lighter.
