I got a boyfriend/girlfriend.My Hair is Bad
When you want to hear a heartbreak song that really grabs your heart, I recommend this track by My Hair is Bad.
Just as the title “Koi-bito ga Dekitan da” (“I Got a New Girlfriend/Boyfriend”) suggests, the lyrics read like a man speaking to his ex, now that both of them—once a couple—have found new partners.
He says things like, “I’ve got a new girlfriend who’s a different type from you, and things are going well—how about you? I hope you’re happy,” putting on a brave face, but his lingering feelings for his ex seep through.
When you want to cut those lingering feelings and move forward—or when you’ve started to move on but still can’t forget your ex—try listening to this song while reading the lyrics.
National Route 2gagaga supi
This song by Gagaga SP lays bare the pain of heartbreak.
Released in August 2002 as their fourth single, it became a turning point that broadened the band’s musical scope.
Beyond Kozak Maeda’s warm voice and the wistful guitar riff, the lyrics—wishing the other person happiness while being unable to let go—are sure to hit you hard.
Truly a classic breakup song that’ll have any man in tears.
That’s all there is to it.Marushii
Marcy is a rock band popular mainly among listeners in their teens and twenties.
Their gently bittersweet mid-tempo ballad “Tada Sore Dake no Koto ga Sa” is one of their works.
The song depicts the everyday moments spent with a lover, and it sings of the regret of wishing one had cherished those ordinary days more.
Since the story is gradually revealed as it goes, it’s best to listen without spoilers first.
Also, don’t miss the music video featuring actress Rinka Kumada.
Sakuragichōyuzu
Yuzu’s “Sakuragichō,” released in 2004.
Set in the titular Sakuragichō, it’s a love song that poignantly depicts memories of someone you once loved.
In fact, Sakuragichō Station is a place dear to the duo, as it’s where they actually used to meet up and perform street gigs.
Don’t we all have a place that makes our chest ache when we pass by? “NATSUMONOGATARI,” released in 2021, continues the story of this song, so why not listen to them together?
Goodbye Busyuzu
Yuzu is strongly associated with refreshing, upbeat songs.
As the title suggests, this track “Sayonara Bus” is about saying goodbye and parting ways.
While many breakup songs tend to be subdued ballads, this one is characteristically Yuzu—pop, bright, and with a breezy feel.
Despite its cheerful tempo, the harmonica’s timbre and the heart-tugging lyrics gradually evoke a sense of poignancy.
