I got a boyfriend/girlfriend.My Hair is Bad
How would you feel upon learning that someone you once shared a deep connection with has found a new partner? My Hair is Bad’s 2016 album “woman’s” features a song that delicately captures exactly that complex state of mind.
Even though you’re supposed to have moved on and found a new lover, you can’t shake the lingering attachment to the one you can’t forget.
Spending time with your current partner—who’s the complete opposite type—only makes the quiet ache of your feelings for the former one smolder in the back of your heart.
Released as the album reached a peak position of No.
5 on the Oricon charts, the track’s music video also drew significant attention.
It’s a song that will deeply resonate with anyone who thought they’d stepped into a new love but still finds themselves tethered to the past, or who has felt a rush of complicated emotions upon seeing an ex looking happy.
Unfit to be a loverKoresawa
A breakup ballad from a male perspective that portrays the anguish and regret of the one who said goodbye.
It’s a self-cover sung from the viewpoint of the man who leaves the room in Koresawa’s signature song “Tabako.” Released as a digital single in June 2019, it was later included on the concept mini-album “Heartbreak Scrap” in January 2020.
Originally written for Miyuhan, the track drew attention with its music video featuring Ryusei Yokohama.
The song movingly captures the conflict of a man who ends the relationship precisely because he loves her, blaming not her but his own shortcomings.
Listening to it alongside “Tabako” deepens your understanding of the couple’s emotional misalignment.
Highly recommended for anyone who’s experienced the end of a cherished relationship or carries guilt over having hurt someone they love.
Romance and LoveSandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu
A gem of a ballad by Sandaime J SOUL Brothers from EXILE TRIBE, told from a male perspective about the resolve to part ways.
Included on the album “FUTURE,” released in June 2018, the song was also used as the theme for Nippon TV’s “Sukkiri” and in commercials for the job site Baitoru NEXT.
It portrays the adult, heartrending choice of parting ways because of the difficulty in moving from infatuation to true love, and the feeling that one cannot make the other person happy.
Even though his feelings haven’t faded—in fact, precisely because he cares—he chooses to leave, and his emotions resonate deeply.
A beautiful piano- and strings-driven melody is layered with the heartfelt vocals of Ryuji Imaichi and Hiroomi Tosaka, moving listeners to tears.
It’s a piece that offers comfort to anyone who has experienced parting from someone dear.
