Breakup songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke: soothing songs about parting (41–50)
When love endsRin Oto
Born in 1999 and hailing from Fukuoka, Rin-ne is a rapper who’s gained popularity especially among younger listeners.
Rather than a hard-edged style, he’s known for a melodious approach that sits between mellow tracks, melody, and rap—earning support even from people who don’t usually listen to hip-hop.
“Koi ga Owareba,” a track from his third EP, “back alley,” released in December 2024, is quintessential Rin-ne: a standout song featuring a chill, lo-fi hip-hop-inspired track, melodious rap, and sharp, clever wordplay.
Overall, there are plenty of sections where the melody is sung, and if you learn the lyrics and the phrasing breaks, it’s approachable even for those who aren’t confident with rap—plus, it’ll sound cool at karaoke!
Only a single voicerokudenashi
It’s a poignant song that empathizes with people carrying the pain of heartbreak and the struggle of living.
Released in December 2021, it delicately portrays the loneliness and inner conflict of young people today, accompanied by the gentle tones of the piano.
The emotions expressed by Rokudenashi reflect the image of people who, though hurt by everyday words, still try their best to smile.
The song resonated across borders, reaching No.
1 on Hong Kong’s Spotify Viral Chart and moving many hearts.
It’s a track I wholeheartedly recommend to those who can’t quite put their feelings into words or who are wrestling with worries alone.
Its tender melodies and vocals will surely stay close to your heart.
Blue amberback number
This back number song gives you such an indescribable feeling, doesn’t it? I think Iyori Shimizu is a genius at creating a sense of heartbreak.
The harmonies in this track are mostly in the chorus.
It’s basically an upper harmony, but the way the ends of phrases drop an octave and other clever choices in the harmonizing really amplify the bittersweet vibe.
In the final chorus, there’s a key change and the pitch goes up, so I think it’s good to sing a bit louder in falsetto so you don’t get overshadowed by the lead vocal.
A lot of people sing back number, so be sure to add these harmonies to your repertoire!
LAST CHRISTMASEXILE
It’s a song that EXILE covered in Japanese from a classic by Wham!, and since it might already feel nostalgic, I consider it a hidden gem.
It’s very straightforward, and I think it’s a song about thinking of an ex-girlfriend.
The overall vibe of the song feels very lavish and well-produced.
YOUYUI
If someone could sing this beautifully and lyrically, even the wounds on my heart might heal a little.
Breakup songs are often about lingering feelings—still loving someone yet unable to forget them.
That’s precisely why melodies as lovely as this really shine.
I became a fool after meeting you.Chīmu Kamiuta
A work by Team Kamiuta sung by Miku.
True to its painfully on-the-nose yet familiar title, the lyrics prompt you to reflect on yourself in various ways.
The way it portrays being crushed by hope, expectations, and an unattainable reality—and the blunt self-awareness of having ‘become a fool’—feels somewhat painful.
Nostalgiaikimonogakari
This is a single by Ikimonogakari released in 2010.
It was a song from their indie days, and although it was re-recorded, some parts like the lyrics have been slightly changed.
I heard Yoshioka said she didn’t want to sing it because she disliked the female protagonist, who’s so wishy-washy and hung up on her ex (lol).
