SaudadePorunogurafiti
Saudade, which brilliantly sings of the growing emotional distance between lovers.
Released in 2004 by the rock duo Porno Graffitti, it’s known as one of their signature songs.
Set to a lively, Latin-tinged rhythm, it expresses a bittersweet love that anyone can relate to.
Even the title—Portuguese for a sense of longing and melancholy—conveys an inescapable ache.
It’s a track whose rhythmic performance offers support precisely when you feel lonely.
Let this number, filled with poetic charm, soothe you.
You & MeHamasaki Ayumi
It’s striking how the music video starts with a super lovey-dovey couple and ends with an intense fight.
A romance that’s sweet at first can gradually turn into arguments and misunderstandings, right? I hope people who still have feelings they wanted to convey—no matter how much they fought—will listen to this.
Dried flowersYuuri
This is one of singer-songwriter Yuuri’s signature songs, powerfully conveying the pain of heartbreak.
It unfolds from a quiet, confessional mood—as if whispering inner feelings—into a strong, surging sound when the emotions can no longer be contained.
The lyrics depict two hearts drifting apart, and as the song progresses, you can feel the shifting emotions; that raw portrayal resonates deeply.
Positioned as an after-story told from a woman’s perspective to Yuuri’s debut track “Kakurenbo,” which also centers on heartbreak, this song gains new layers when you listen to the two pieces side by side.
don’t cry anymoremiwa
Singer-songwriter miwa has a crystal-clear, beautiful voice and a determined presence as she powerfully strums her guitar—delicate yet undeniably strong.
Her 2010 release “don’t cry anymore” is the celebrated song that marked her debut.
The track sings of the strength of a protagonist who, even after hitting rock bottom, vows to rise again, declaring, “No matter how hard it gets, I won’t lose.” It was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Nakanai to Kimeta Hi,” starring Nana Eikura.
After a heartbreak, it’s easy for your mental state to fall apart.
No matter how many times you experience it, the sadness never disappears—but if you develop the resilience to endure it, you can become an even more compelling version of yourself!
OVERMr.Children
A heartbreak song by Mr.Children, this track is included on the album Atomic Heart.
The title “over” carries a dual meaning: the end of a romance and the act of moving beyond sorrow.
The lyrics look back on the many memories the two shared and express the sadness of knowing those days will never return.
Although the song depicts pain, its sound has a light, breezy feel, and the difficulty of reading the narrator’s true emotions may be part of the song’s appeal.
Sayonara ColorSUPER BUTTER DOG
This is one of SUPER BUTTER DOG’s signature songs, which can be taken as a “cheering song” for someone who’s going away.
Inspired by this track, Naoto Takenaka made a film with the same title, which also drew attention for featuring many famous musicians.
Fall down seven times, get up eight.Anjurumu
ANGERME’s songs have increasingly taken on a gritty, never-give-up spirit.
Even if you fail, they give you the push to move forward.
They basically turn the four-character idiom “shichiten hakki” (fall down seven times, get up eight) into music—songs that nudge you to try again with a “one more time!” and help you stand back up from where you stumbled.
