Songs to listen to when you want to get back together: love songs that will tie the red string again

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.

A song included on AKB48’s 2011 album “Koko ni Ita Koto.” It sings of the bittersweet feelings of remembering a precious person—walking together along the beach and playfully teasing each other—in the gentle early-summer breeze.

Among AKB48’s many songs, it is highly regarded as a hidden gem.

LAYLAGLAY

I played GLAY’s “LAYLA” on guitar.

LAYLAGLAY

A song included on GLAY’s 33rd single “G4,” released in 2006.

It conveys a resolve to keep living without ever hanging one’s head, even after parting ways with a loved one and being apart.

It also serves as GLAY’s own pledge at the time—to continue their musical activities despite being in a difficult situation.

Monochrome KissShido

SIDNAD vol. 6 Monochrome Kiss

Monochrome KissShido

A song released by SID in 2008 as their landmark major-label debut single.

The lyrics can be interpreted as capturing either the moment of parting with a lover with whom one has shared a long time, or a reunion kiss with someone once loved.

Mao, the vocalist, sings passionately about the feeling that the moment was not a time rich with color, but something devoid of color.

In conclusion

When people break up, it’s often the case that one of them still has lingering feelings.

It takes courage to confess again, but if listening to the song gave you strength or helped you reaffirm your feelings, try taking that first step!
