Breakup songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke: soothing songs for a healing heart (71–80)
Before GoodbyeAAA
Depending on whether a man or a woman is singing, the point of view can feel different, which can make it easier or harder to connect emotionally.
Especially with breakup songs, many people prefer to choose a track that matches their own perspective.
But this song, “Sayonara no Mae ni,” is by AAA, a mixed-gender group, so I recommend it as a breakup song that will likely resonate naturally with both male and female listeners.
While there are separate male and female parts, it’s still easy to sing as a karaoke song, and I think it’s a track many people can relate to.
Time goes byEvery Little Thing
“Time goes by,” one of Every Little Thing’s signature songs, was released in 1998 and became a massive hit.
It’s a heartbreak song about thinking of someone you loved, but even those who aren’t going through a breakup can’t help being drawn in by the lyrics that really hit home.
For anyone heartbroken, it resonates even more deeply.
You might even end up in tears if you sing it at karaoke.
It’s a gentle, moving ballad that makes it easy to pour your emotions into.
You’re no longer here.FUNKY MONKEY BABYS
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.
Stop this nightJUJU
How about choosing a song that really lets you sing your heart out? JUJU’s “Kono Yoru o Tomete Yo” is a single released in 2010 and was also the theme song for the drama “Guilty: Akuma to Keiyaku Shita Onna,” starring Miho Kanno.
Sung from a woman’s perspective, it expresses aching sorrow and heartbreak, making it a ballad that pierces the hearts of those who’ve experienced a breakup or lost someone dear.
Try picking a weighty, emotionally heavy ballad like this to captivate the moment.
taxiKEN MIYAKE
It’s a bittersweet love song depicting a farewell at a taxi stand.
Released in February 2025, the track features KEN MIYAKE’s delicate vocals that beautifully convey the pain of heartbreak and lingering attachment.
The pop-rock sound is bright and breezy, yet the lyrical world is melancholic—an irresistibly appealing contrast.
Listening to it brings a sense of calm.
It’s a perfect song for nights when you want to dwell in the afterglow of a breakup, or to play while out for a drive.
I long to see you now.MISIA
MISIA’s song “Aitakute Ima” (“I Want to See You Now”) expresses feelings for a precious person you can no longer meet.
Released in 2009, it was used as the theme song for the drama JIN.
Many people were likely moved by the melody of love—sung with MISIA’s expansive, soaring voice—together with the drama.
The lyrics convey an overflow of emotions for a dear you whom one longs to see but cannot.
It’s a famous song featured as a drama theme, and the parts that can be sung freely and powerfully make it especially approachable even after a heartbreak.
Sing it with all your heart, so your feelings reach the one you loved.
