Name of the FlowerBUMP OF CHICKEN
BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Hana no Na” begins with the bittersweet sound of an acoustic guitar.
With a relaxed tempo, Motoo Fujiwara’s gentle vocals sing tenderly about two people meeting, as if they could softly heal the wounds of heartbreak.
The lyrics are truly wonderful, so be sure to look at the lyric sheet and listen closely to each and every word.
Rather than for when you want to dwell in the pain of a breakup, give it a listen when you’re ready to bounce back and move forward.
loveUru
Don’t miss “Koi,” a song that affirms the sadness of heartbreak.
Written and composed by Yohei Hashiguchi of wacci and sung by Uru, it encourages us not to view heartbreak negatively, but to see it as something that helped us grow and that can lead both people to greater happiness.
The lyrics are in a first-person female perspective, so women may find it directly relatable, while men can listen from the standpoint of the one being addressed.
Give it a listen along with the music video, which depicts a love story.
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.
Lovers AgainEXILE
Right after a breakup, I think it’s natural to unconsciously look for the person you loved.
You can sense those feelings in the lyrics of this song as well.
There are so many emotions you only realize when you’re alone.
This is a track I’d like you to listen to at times like that.
Baby Don’t CryAmuro Namie
When Namie Amuro, with her cool vibe, sings, even a heartbreak song sounds stylish.
If someone like her cheered me on, it feels like the pain of a breakup would ease.
The song has a tempo a bit faster than mid-tempo, giving a sense of moving forward, and it makes you want to wipe your tears and feel better.
It’s a song I’d want to share with a female friend who’s sad over a breakup.
