Then, why?Abe Mao13rank/position

Then, why?

This is a poignant ballad by Mao Abe that sings of the helpless feeling when you realize you were the only one who was serious, after being led on by someone’s suggestive behavior.

The regret of having believed the words of a capricious, cat-like partner, and the pain that makes you want to demand, “Then why did you say that?” ride on her emotional vocals and pierce straight into your heart.

The song is included on the album “Su.” released in June 2011.

Remarkably, Abe wrote it during her high school years, and the pure, youthful cry of the heart resonates with raw intensity.

When you’re suffering from a lover’s ambiguous attitude and have nowhere to put your feelings, listening to this can feel as though it’s speaking for you.

Its gut-wrenching lyrics, paradoxically, will gently wrap your loneliness in warmth.

Mao Abe always captures raw emotions so well, whether it’s through love songs that stay close to the heart or upbeat tracks that lift you up.

Her song “Sorezore Arukidasou” is less a breakup song and more a “post-breakup” song—perfect for someone who’s ready to open a new door.

The lyrics reflect on a past boyfriend and past love, acknowledging one’s own shortcomings, engraving it firmly as a page in memory, and then saying, “Let’s move on!” as both people step forward onto new paths.

There are surely many who share the same situation and feelings.

Stalker’s Song: 3rd Block, Your HouseAbe Mao15rank/position

Stalker's Song: 3rd Block, Your House

A song by Mao Abe that, despite its seemingly upbeat melody, hides a startling theme.

Included on the album “Su.”, this track candidly portrays the mindset of a person whose overpowering attachment drives them to stalking.

Coupled with Abe’s clear, transparent vocals, it brings the darker side of romantic feelings into sharp relief.

Released in June 2011, the song compels listeners to reflect on the boundary between love and obsession, leaving a powerful impression.

It’s a poignant love song especially worth hearing for those who can’t move on from heartbreak or who sense the shadows that can lurk in romance.

Bye-byeAbe Mao16rank/position

Bye-bye

Mao Abe, who’s also been drawing attention for providing songs to First Summer Uika, portrays a woman telling her ex-boyfriend goodbye in “Bye-bye.” Throughout the song, the title phrase is repeated many times, expressing that she has no lingering feelings for him.

At the same time, occasional “wet” lines slip in, hinting at subtle emotional wavering.

Those who are similarly conflicted or trying hard to make a clean break will surely relate.

No way.Abe Mao17rank/position

Mao Abe “Yada” acoustic cover

This song sings about a one-sided feeling: the person I like has someone else they like.

Mao Abe’s “Yada” is included on her third album, “Su.” released in 2011.

You can almost sense a grudge-like resentment toward the person that the one she likes has feelings for; it can even sound a bit like a lament.

But this is surely a straightforward feeling everyone has—anyone can end up resenting or envying someone and feeling this way.

Still, the song also conveys the sad emotion of not being able to hate them no matter what.

Stay by my sideAbe Mao18rank/position

Mao Abe – Stay by My Side [Official Music Video]

A song that Mao Abe wrote in her senior year of high school.

It’s a sad love song that conjures the image of a woman who can’t let go of a love that’s ended and keeps wandering on.

The lyrics are surprisingly mature for something written by a high school student, but when sung with Abe’s firm, resonant voice, they carry real conviction and even a sense of power.

She wanted to stay by the side of the person she loved, but they broke up before she could say so.

This song captures that painful feeling.

For anyone who’s been through the same thing, it’s a track that will bring past memories flooding back.

MV Go to See You

These lyrics express the sudden urge to see the person you love, and I can relate to the delicate sensitivity of a girl who feels she can’t be okay without someone she likes.

I think many girls would like to emulate the proactive spirit in this song—going to see him with nothing but her own determination.

To move forward

A masterpiece filled with Mao Abe’s soulful cry, where sorrow and resolve intertwine.

It’s a moving love song that portrays the courage to move forward while still holding lingering feelings for a past lover.

Digitally released in May 2024, it also sparked buzz through a collaboration with Shueisha’s manga “I Want to Fall in Love That Lets Me Forget You.” Marking a fitting celebration of Abe’s 15th anniversary, her powerful yet delicate vocals resonate deep in the heart.

A song that stays close to those suffering from heartbreak and to anyone ready to take a new step.

It’s sure to become a source of strength for you.
