Love is overŌyō Fifi
“Love is Over,” the signature song by Taiwanese singer Ouyang Fei Fei, was released in 1979.
Although it’s widely remembered as a big hit, it actually became successful by being performed steadily over a long period of time.
It’s a very sad, mature love song, and it’s also well known for having been covered by numerous famous artists.
To move forwardAbe Mao
This song portrays the feelings of a woman who overcomes the pain of heartbreak and tries to take a new step forward.
The lyrics delicately depict her lingering attachment to her ex and her wavering emotions, while conveying the strength to stay true to her resolve to value herself.
Released in May 2024, the track is included on Mao Abe’s 15th-anniversary album, “NOW,” and drew attention through a collaboration with the manga “Kimi o Wasureru Koi ga Shitai” (I Want a Love That Forgets You).
It’s a must-listen for anyone who wants to face forward even while carrying the pain of heartbreak.
The message that resonates in your heart will surely give you the courage to take that next step.
Catch the loveyayuyo
Yayuyo is a rock band that debuted in 2019.
Their song “Ai wo Tsukamaete” is a cheer-up anthem for anyone nursing a broken heart.
Told from the perspective of a woman after a breakup, it digs into the question of what love really is.
Even though they split up, they must have loved each other—this song makes you reflect on that contradiction.
And the answer offered within the song is sure to be soothing.
Plus, its intense, rock-driven sound keeps the mood from getting too gloomy, which is another strong point.

At first glance, the lyrics seem difficult, packed with unfamiliar compounds, but the song conveys a strength that comes from recognizing what binds you and breaking free to live.
It starts with a slow-tempo intro and verse, then shifts into an up-tempo sprint, making it a compelling listen.
balladGO!GO!7188
In GO!GO!7188’s catalog, songs like “Koi no Uta” and “C7” are staples, but I think this track is a masterpiece on par with them.
It sings about someone who was always by your side as if it were a given, and then is suddenly gone—and about continuing to move forward in life anyway.
When you go through a breakup, you lose confidence and become timid about the next love, but I’d like to embrace it as a precious memory and let it lead to what comes next.
If I can be by your sideKobukuro
There are many times when love doesn’t work out simply because the timing of falling in love doesn’t match.
This song portrays an unrequited love in which, no matter how much you care for the person, they already have a partner.
The sound of the guitar in the background heightens the sense of melancholy.
