JengaHatsune Miku (40mP)
Many people may find themselves relating to these very heartrending lyrics.
When a romance ends, I think it’s common to feel, “This isn’t how it was supposed to be.” You thought you were making the best choices, but once it’s over, waves of regret come crashing in.
It’s painful to think about precisely because you cared so much, but as the song says at the end, you don’t want to pretend it never happened.
Less than friends, less than lovers703goushitsu
I’m sure there are people who decided to stop living together after a breakup.
It leaves you with such a bittersweet feeling, doesn’t it? That’s why I want you to listen to “Less Than Friends, Less Than Lovers.” It portrays two people whose feelings gradually drift apart until they’re just housemates.
In the latter half of the song, the two reunite, but they end up in an ambiguous relationship where they can’t go back to being lovers or even become friends.
Still, it doesn’t carry a negative message—it’s about the resolve to keep moving forward.
Things only you can doDaisuke
A cheering song that seems to gently let light into a heart clouded by heartbreak.
Its friendly rhythm and melody make it a flawless pop number! From 2011 to 2013, it was used as the first theme for the “Smile Caravan” segment on NTV’s information-entertainment program ZIP!, in which the artist appeared.
The second theme, “Sketchbook,” is also recommended.
My huge flowerMōningu Musume.
It may not be a well-known song, but among fans it’s considered a masterpiece.
It’s built around main vocals and rap, and instead of pushing others down or shaming them, it carries a positive message: I’ll polish myself as much as I can, bloom into a big flower, and laugh with joy.
PromiseKōda Kumi
This is a breakup song by Kumi Koda released in 2005, sung from a woman’s perspective about a final farewell to her lover.
After losing him, she realizes how important he was, and Koda delivers the song gently and poignantly, reflecting on the promises the two made that will never be fulfilled again.
GarnetOku Hanako
This song became the theme for the film “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” and is also one of Hanako Oku’s signature pieces.
It features Oku’s clear, straightforward vocals and a simple piano accompaniment, and its approachable charm lies in how the story painted by the lyrics seems to unfold right before your eyes.
Right after a heartbreak, your heart may be deeply wounded, but those wounds will surely heal in time, and one day you’ll be able to look back with a positive feeling and think, “That was an important experience.” I believe it helps ease your mind by saying you don’t have to force yourself to forget—just accept it as a page of your youth.
LOVE ～Destiny～Hamasaki Ayumi
I can always relate to Ayumi Hamasaki’s lyrics, delivered in her very cute, gentle singing voice.
They overflow with gratitude for meeting the man she loves, being able to be together, and being able to love each other.
With no hatred or anger, a farewell like this lets both people face forward and move on.
