[Upbeat Breakup Song] Love songs and anthems that give you the courage to take a new step forward

Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

existenceTENSONG

This is a heart-stirring song by TENSONG that vividly portrays the pain of heartbreak.

Released in December 2020, the track was created by guitarist Takuman based on his real-life experience, carefully depicting the emotions of being trapped in memories while trying to take a new step forward.

Vocalist Takabo’s high-tone voice expresses those feelings beautifully, and the deeply resonant melody line leaves a strong impression.

The music video is an animated piece created by an illustrator who was their classmate and reached 1.8 million views in eight months.

It’s a song that offers comfort to those carrying the pain of a broken heart or who’ve experienced parting with someone important; we recommend listening to it alone on a quiet night.

nishina – Waon [Official Video]

wa, wo, nnishina

This is a gentle song by NISHINA that traces a life’s journey, beginning with the first syllables of the Japanese syllabary, “a-i,” and ending with “wa-wo-n.” It delicately portrays the sway of emotions—loneliness, joy, and sorrow—while layering a profound question of what love is over the changing seasons and everyday scenes.

Released in December 2024, the track was produced by GeG of Hentai Shinshi Club, and its striking music video directed by Megumi Murotani also drew attention.

It’s a warm, encouraging song that offers comfort to those who keep asking themselves, “What is love?” in the midst of daily life, and to anyone searching for the meaning of life.

Tears / Ketsumeishi (Cover)

tear(s)Ketsumeishi

There aren’t any explicit references to heartbreak, but this is a song I recommend for when you want to have a good cry by yourself.

The soothing strings in the background are part of its charm.

When you’re hurt from a breakup, there are times you miss the chance to cry.

People are actually pretty simple—sometimes your sadness washes away with your tears, and you end up feeling refreshed.
