The Last NightAikawa Nanase
It’s “Last Night,” from Nanase Aikawa’s album Red—a song that’s both cute and cool.
When you think of Nanase Aikawa, what first comes to mind is probably her catchy rock numbers, the edgy intensity that makes you want to bang your head, and those sharp, piercing, almost confrontational eyes.
But she also has many mellow, ballad-like masterpieces like “Last Night,” and her ability to keep fans captivated forever is truly remarkable.
I’ll be by your side.Aoyama Teruma ft. SoulJa
A song that snapped me out of the depths of heartbreak.
I feel its melody and lyrics overwhelm other tracks.
It even racked up an astonishing 9 million downloads.
I watched the music video on Space Shower TV, and “amazing” is the only word for it.
If you’ve had the experience of someone you love going far away, this song will resonate with you even more.
Chapped lips will cost you love.aiko
Aiko, who has delivered countless love songs.
This track, included as a coupling for the single “Ima no Futari wo Otagai ga Miteru” released in March 2023, showcases her genius starting with the title itself.
You might find yourself relating to the feelings of remembering someone on a birthday or around the time you cut your hair.
The lyrics are simple yet cleverly crafted, and deeply relatable.
The final chorus in particular will surely stir hearts wounded by heartbreak! The gorgeous yet light sound enhanced by brass lifts your spirits, giving you the power to take the next step even as you look back on your memories!
era; age; time; periodNakajima Miyuki
It’s a work that represents Japan, one that goes beyond being just a “Showa-era classic” or a “breakup song.” My father often played it, so I’ve been listening to it since I was little.
The overwhelming weight of the lyrics feels like it expresses what it means to live.
I truly think it’s a song that transcends time.
things that have formShibasaki Kou
When I first watched the drama, I was moved by its crystal-clear visuals and the excellence of the story, but the moment the song played at the end, my emotions deepened even more.
The song syncs with the drama’s ending, creating a synergistic effect.
The feelings and messages from Aki, who dies, to the left-behind Saku are heartbreaking.
It’s a masterpiece that brings tears to your eyes.
The Goofy Man’s WayKanjani∞
Kanjani Eight are constantly active individually and show up in the media almost every day.
This song packs all of their power tightly into one track.
Their freewheeling performance feels like it goes beyond the boundaries of Johnny’s.
It’s a pretty overly bright song, so I wouldn’t recommend listening to it right after a breakup, but it’s definitely a number that will give you courage.
ReminiscenceSutaadasuto Rebyuu
When I first heard it, I thought, what a melody that resonates with the heart.
It’s sung in an emotionally powerful, impossibly beautiful voice that conveys a woman’s frustration and flaws, and the pain of being unable to let the other person leave her heart.
If you’ve had your heart broken, I want you to listen to it at least once—it’s a wonderful song.
