Someone other than you ~tejina~DEEP
Listen to this song, have a good cry, and let it all out.
It’s a track by the male vocal group DEEP, released in 2011 as their sixth single.
The fragile vocals paired with the piano tones create a rich, immersive world.
You’ll likely find yourself wanting to keep it on repeat.
That said, the lyrics might really bring back memories of heartbreak.
All the more reason to listen, cry, and reset your feelings! It’s also great for karaoke.
Rebootmiwa
This song, Reboot, was also the theme for the hugely popular drama Nagi’s Long Vacation, so many of you have probably heard it.
Miwa usually sings cutely about the feelings of a girl in love, but this track has a slightly different vibe.
It’s refreshing—you can feel the decisiveness of a woman who’s had enough, is fed up with everything, and is ready to throw it all away.
Sky of TearsGReeeeN
When you go through a heartbreak, you just want to cry your eyes out, don’t you? I think this song makes you feel like even those tears you shed have meaning.
Many of GReeeeN’s songs are the kind that make you feel positive just by listening to them.
Letter to TomorrowTeshima Aoi
“Letter to Tomorrow” by Aoi Teshima, used as the ending theme for the drama “Love That Makes You Cry” starring Kasumi Arimura.
A life built with a lover and the future you had envisioned crumble because of heartbreak.
You find yourself on the brink of despair, sinking to a state where even just staying alive feels like all you can manage.
Even so, night gives way to dawn, tomorrow comes, and it’s time to go to work or school.
No matter how painful it is, you have to face forward.
This is a song that gently gives you a push on the back.
About meMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE is hugely popular among junior high and high school students.
They have many songs that really resonate, and “Boku no Koto” is exactly one of those.
It’s a track I highly recommend you listen to without dismissing it just because Mrs.
GREEN APPLE is a band young people like.
It reminds you that you’re not the only one who’s fallen into those dark feelings or shadowy places we’ve all experienced—everyone goes through it.
One more time, One more chanceYamazaki Masayoshi
It’s truly one of the all-time great heartbreak songs.
It’s a signature track by singer-songwriter Masayoshi Yamazaki, released as a single in 1997 and a long-running hit.
It also served as the theme song for the film “The Moon and the Cabbage,” in which Yamazaki himself starred, and for the 2007 animated film “5 Centimeters per Second.” When you’re feeling down after a breakup, singing might be the best remedy.
So it’s highly recommended for karaoke—belt it out with all your emotion.
Love DrizzleShonan no Kaze
Koi-Shigure portrays the loneliness of facing your own heart when you’re all by yourself.
Released in 2008 by Shonan no Kaze, a music group leading Japan’s reggae scene, the song blends beautiful string and synth tones with their emotional vocals.
It captures the gratitude and heartbreak you realize after parting with someone you love—feelings many will surely relate to.
Carrying a resolve to move beyond helpless sorrow and loss, it’s a song about becoming someone who can appreciate the past.
Give this love song a listen—it might be the push you need to take a new step forward.
