Recommended breakup songs for high school students: classic and popular J-pop tracks

lighterutatane
A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Have a good cry and feel refreshed, or just zone out and listen without thinking.

Your Trace

Your TraceMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto

It’s a song that gently, effortlessly slips into even a tired heart.

Although it’s a breakup song, the fact that it’s sung by a group gives the vocals a rich fullness, and even in the lyrics that express painful feelings, you can sense warmth.

The final phrase of the chorus never changes, giving the impression of music that simply chooses to coexist with the pain.

the first strong spring windnishina

A song by Nishina that delicately depicts a poignant spring scene.

The warm tones of the acoustic guitar and a melody line that feels somehow nostalgic sink deep into the heart.

The lyrics, woven with everyday scenery and memories, resonate with each listener’s own experiences and evoke empathy.

Released in March 2023, it was featured as a song for a radiko commercial.

Seeing the lyrics that recall a love which ended without ever being confessed may make many people feel as if their hearts are being gently gripped.
