Red Thread – Kobukuro (Full)

Kobukuro is a name formed by combining the names of Mr.

Kobuchi and Mr.

Kuroda.

Visually, the two of them make a very strong impression as well.

I imagine many people have had their hearts stolen by the music they create.

Among the groups in the EXILE family, Sandaime J Soul Brothers are especially popular.

Their looks are outstanding, winning over many women.

This is their go-to heartbreak song, beloved even overseas.

It compares a broken heart to fireworks—a track many can relate to.

Haru Igarashi – Laughing Habit (Official Music Video)

A song that portrays the ache of a love too deep to forget, even as time passes.

In this track, Haru Igarashi delicately captures the frustration of how trivial everyday moments turn into special memories, and the poignancy of nights spent with those memories when you can’t move on.

Even the way the other person laughed and their gestures remain vividly etched in the mind, and the feeling is so intense that you find yourself praying to God, “Please let me forget everything.” Released in March 2025, this work will gently accompany those whose hearts are filled with memories they can’t forget, no matter how hard they try, and those who are still unable to accept parting from someone dear.

Haruna. “Don’t mess with me.” feat. Hatsune Miku

This is a track by Haruna, included on the album “Summer Sky Free Notebook: Page 1,” released in May 2023.

Its emotional, fast-paced rock sound and lyrics filled with anger, sorrow, and an unforgettable ache toward a former lover really strike a chord.

Every down-to-earth word lined up there is so relatable.

I highly recommend it to anyone who needs time to face the pain of a breakup.

Kano Kanaru “Bad Person” M/V

A heartrending unrequited love song that delicately portrays the feelings of a woman who has stepped into a forbidden romance.

While trapped in memories that resurface with the chill of autumn, her determination to move forward leaves a strong impression.

Kanano Senritsu’s fragile vocals beautifully express the inner turmoil of the conflicted woman.

Released in September 2024 as Kanano Senritsu’s solo major debut track, the song depicts the complex emotions of recognizing the other person’s lies yet accepting them, as well as a mixture of regret and lingering attachment—inviting empathy from those who have experienced something similar.

Mirei Touyama “If There Were Another Goodbye” Lyric Video

This is a bittersweet breakup song that gently wraps feelings of regret and gratitude toward a loved one in a clear, translucent voice.

Released by Mirei Toyama in August 2021, it portrays the struggle with the pain of parting while trying to find gratitude for a “once-in-a-lifetime happiness.” The hesitation over when to bring up the breakup, and the strength to be the one to finally say “thank you,” are also compelling.

As a track from the album “still,” this cover of a original song by Sorari Sawada offers quiet solace to those who must end a relationship or are suffering through a love they need to let go of.

Koresawa’s song portrays the lingering attachment and regret of the one not chosen, along with the complex feelings toward the other person.

While conveying the emotions of a heartbroken woman in a straightforward way, it pairs a catchy, fast-paced band sound with a powerful expression of bittersweet longing.

The track is included on the album “To the You Who Chose Me and the You Who Didn’t,” set for release in March 2025, and an animated music video has also been released.

It’s a song that gently gives a push to those trying to move forward while carrying the pain of heartbreak.
