A poignant ballad that reflects on past romance and gradually realizes the value of a lost love.

It delicately portrays the warmth of happier days slowly cooling, as well as the magnitude of the other person’s presence that only becomes clear after the breakup.

Included on the 4th album “Love Story” released in March 2014, it was also used as the commercial song for JTB’s travel product “JTB Premium.” With a gentle, heart-touching melody and a relatable narrative, this song is relatively easy to sing at karaoke and is one you’ll want to try—especially if you’ve experienced heartbreak or parting.

MISIA’s “Aitakute Ima” is a song that expresses feelings for a loved one you can no longer meet.

Released in 2009, it was chosen as the theme song for the drama JIN.

Many people were surely moved by the melody of love, sung with MISIA’s expansive vocals, together with the drama itself.

The lyrics convey an overflow of emotions for someone precious whom you long to see but cannot.

Its fame as a drama theme song and the soaring parts that feel freeing to sing make it an easy choice even after a heartbreak.

FUNKY MONKEY BABYS’ “Mou Kimi ga Inai” is packed with that helpless feeling after a breakup—the sense that no matter what you do, you just can’t forget the person you love.

Even though it’s about heartbreak, it doesn’t feel like someone got dumped; rather, it’s a story where the two still love each other but, due to circumstances—or for each other’s sake—they part ways, and he sees his lover off.

It portrays, from a male perspective, the aching heart of someone who can’t bring himself to honestly express his feelings to the lover he’s sending off.

A song by PRINCESS PRINCESS, the five-member band that was practically synonymous with the girls’ rock scene of the 1980s.

Although it was the B-side to their seventh single, “Diamonds,” it’s known as a classic that continues to be covered by many musicians today.

Its laid-back shuffle beat and wistful melody gently comfort a heart wounded by heartbreak.

The tempo is slow, making it easy to sing at karaoke, and because it’s so well-known, it’s a great number that everyone can hum along to.

Supercell’s track “The Story You Don’t Know,” featuring a sparkling melody that glitters like stars in the night sky, made a strong impression.

With nagi on vocals, the song was released in 2009 and used as the ending theme for the anime Bakemonogatari.

Beloved not only by anime fans but also by many music lovers, its status as a major hit is one reason it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

The lyrics portray a heart-wrenching unrequited love—having someone you like, keeping those feelings hidden, and reaching the point where you can no longer confess.

Many people have probably experienced the sorrow of a love that ends without ever being expressed.

Try singing it while thinking of the person you loved back then!
