Yorunagi feat. nishinaindigo la End
A heart-stirring ballad by indigo la End that, with a gentle melody wrapping the hush of winter, portrays the bittersweet feelings of two people facing a farewell.
The wish to stay together a little longer, to postpone goodbye until winter ends, resonates deeply.
Enhanced by a collaboration with female artist nishina, the song gains even greater depth.
The music video, directed by filmmaker Aya Igashi, beautifully captures the stillness and fragility of a winter night.
It’s a song that stays close to the hearts of those who want to cherish their final moments with a lover.
Love StoryAmuro Namie
We can’t be together anymore, but I’m always thinking of you… This is a ballad that sings of such aching feelings.
It’s a song by Namie Amuro, a beloved national singer who retired in 2018 to much regret, released in 2011 as her 38th single.
It was the theme song for the drama “Watashi ga Renai Dekinai Riyuu” (The Reason I Can’t Find My Love).
The lyrics make you feel that it’s because of the time you spent with the lover you parted from that you are who you are today.
Its straightforward, heartrending message will surely bring comfort to your heart.
You are freeCHAGE and ASKA
Recut from the 16th album “RED HILL,” this is CHAGE and ASKA’s 33rd single, released in November 1993.
At the time, it was featured as the commercial song for Asahi Soft Drinks’ “J.O.,” and the music video starring Hong Kong star Michelle Reis left a strong impression.
Blending urban sounds with 90s R&B and emotive choral work by 14 Karat Soul, the track is truly moving.
The lyrics, which accept a breakup by acknowledging the other person’s righteousness—a quietly adult kind of sorrow—are sure to resonate.
Because it unfolds at a relaxed tempo, you’ll want to be careful not to lag behind the rhythm, but it’s a song to sink into on a night when you want to gently soothe the pain of heartbreak.

Soda compares the end of a romance to the fizz of bursting carbonation.
Released in 2014 by sumika, a band known for delivering warm, heartfelt songs, it resonates with a passionate yet refreshing performance that seems to blow away the loneliness of losing someone you love.
The clever wordplay on “soda” and the Japanese phrase “sou da” (“that’s right”) invites multiple interpretations of the emotions at play.
It’s a track that says farewell to the happy days with an ex and gives you a push to move forward.
All the more reason to try some energetic rock when you’re feeling down after a breakup, don’t you think?
On this day of goodbyeaimyon
You need strength to get over a broken heart.
How about a moving message song that gives you just that? It’s a track by Aimyon, a singer-songwriter from Hyogo Prefecture, released in 2020.
It drew attention when it was chosen as the theme song for the news program “news zero.” Her unadorned, straight-to-the-heart vocals pierce deep within.
It’s a masterpiece that’s great for calming your mind by listening closely, or for blowing off steam by singing it at karaoke.
SSWKoresawa
This is a heartwarming song by Koresawa that transforms the lingering feelings and memories of heartbreak into a positive outlook.
While reflecting on past love, it conveys the strength to move forward by drawing on the experiences gained from it.
Included on the album “Korekara,” released in August 2017, the song was also used as the opening theme for tvk’s music program “Mutoma 2.” It’s a track that gently heals the heart, offering words of encouragement and standing by those who have gone through painful breakups and are finding it hard to move on.
Because I like you—because I love you.Merofuroto
Rather than a song of lingering attachment, it’s a refreshing love song that shouts love after moving on.
It’s a track by the music group MeloFloat, released as their second single in 2020.
The lyrics retrace memories with an ex—something anyone can relate to—and they really pierce the heart.
However, as mentioned above, it’s not merely about clinging to the past; it conveys a heartfelt confession: I still love you, I want us to be together again.
That feeling comes through so strongly that it even makes the listener feel more positive.
