This is a song that openly pours out the emptiness and resentment of a love that has ended, while conveying a resolve to move forward.

The powerful vocals, as if cutting off lingering attachment, resonate deeply in the chest.

Created by the singer-songwriter aiko, this track opens her album How Can I Possibly Tell You, released in March 2021.

While reflecting on a past romance, it carries a positive message of viewing the many forms of affection received from the other person as gifts to oneself.

Its melodic, gentle tone and her tender, composed vocals softly envelop a wounded heart.

Rather than denying the end of a relationship, give it a listen if you want to make a clean break and use it as nourishment to move forward.

Rather than merely lamenting the pain of heartbreak, it transforms that pain into the resolve to stand back up on your own two feet.

It’s a powerful, counterpunch love song.

Tsukimi, a band from Iwaki City in Fukushima Prefecture, released this track as their first single in April 2023.

Set to a straightforward, high-energy punk rock sound, it lays bare a tangle of emotions—anger at the other person, resignation, and bravado.

The vocals, raw and unpolished yet brimming with unfiltered emotion, provide a major driving force for the song.

More than just wallowing in the sorrow of a breakup, this is a work we especially recommend to those who, even while nursing a wounded heart, want to cut off lingering attachments once and for all.

It’s sure to share plenty of energy to help you start walking forward on your own.
