Kana’u Matsumura, who has been gaining attention after posting a singing video on TikTok, is in the spotlight.
The heartbreak song he’s known for—one that listeners say moves them to tears—is “You’re Going to Be Happy.” The first half of the song reflects on memories with a former lover from a male perspective, while the latter half expresses wishes for the ex’s future happiness.
It’s a bittersweet and sorrowful piece, yet its appeal lies in the hopeful feeling woven into it.
Although it’s sung mostly in a high tone, the slow tempo should make it easy to sing.

Beyond the goodbyeMatsushita Kohei
Some of you may be feeling down after a broken heart.
If so, I’d love for you to listen to “Beyond Goodbye.” It’s a song written by singer-songwriter Kohei Matsushita.
The lyrics portray the sorrow and emptiness of a man who’s parted ways with his lover, while still conveying the belief that a wonderful future awaits.
His gentle vocals soothe the heart and help you look forward, I believe.
Another appeal is that the lyrics are structured like a monologue.
sayonaraHirai Dai
This is a track by Dai Hirai, known for a sound rooted in surf music.
Although Hirai is also recognized as a ukulele player, this song features a beat-driven sound with an emphasis on guitar tones.
As the title suggests, it depicts a farewell to a loved one and expresses unforgettable feelings toward that person.
The guitar’s rich, spacious timbre is especially striking, evoking the image of trying to send one’s feelings far into the distance.
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā
It’s a song that always gets the crowd going at karaoke, but if you look closely at the lyrics, it’s actually a heartbreak song.
The lyrics are bittersweet—he knows the reality that the girl who said she liked him has fallen for someone else, yet he clingingly can’t let go.
But because the dance and performance are so upbeat that you barely notice, it ends up feeling like a non-serious breakup song.
When I was your manBruno Mars
Bruno Mars is hugely popular now.
As you can guess from the song title, he’s completely heartbroken! The lyrics of this song are really great.
Simply put, while regretting that he was the one who was wrong, he wishes that her next boyfriend will do all the things for her that he himself couldn’t.
It’s that kind of song.
Very mature!
