Change of Heart: A Love Song About the Bittersweet Feeling When the One You Love Changes (41–50)
letterHY
It’s a breakup song from a man’s perspective, and it feels like he’s still hung up on her.
As time has passed, he feels like the person he is now could have been the ideal partner for her—that part really resonated with me.
He believes he could make her happy now, but since that’s no longer possible, at the very least he hopes that when they meet again someday, they’ll both have become each other’s ideal.

This song by aiko, widely adored as a poignant heartbreak ballad, portrays a woman’s loneliness as she realizes her lover’s feelings have changed and resolves to break up.
The gentle melody carries the turmoil of being unable to let go of her feelings for the other person, and the sorrow of no longer being someone important.
Released in August 2002, it reached No.
3 on the Oricon weekly chart and was certified Gold.
Accompanied by aiko’s delicate vocals, this track is one that stays close to the hearts of those seeking solace from the pain of heartbreak.
For those who have had their hearts broken by someone they love deeplyerica
I regret a love that has ended, but in the end I accept it.
Right after the breakup I was very sad and found myself lamenting why I couldn’t have handled things better, but as the song says, I had my own reasons for reaching that conclusion.
It’s a song that conveys a kind of resolve—not resignation—like saying, “Who I was then just wasn’t enough.”

I acted tough.aimyon
After breaking up with someone you loved, there are times when you want to deny you ever even met and run away from your true feelings… aren’t there? That’s how painful it is.
A love that should have come true turns into an unattainable one the moment you part.
It takes courage to be honest, but if you can’t give up, I hope you’ll try again.
