mixed juiceshaitoopu
In a romantic relationship, anyone can feel inexpressible anxieties or a sense of being out of sync.
This song captures those complex, interwoven emotions with Shytoop’s delicate band sound.
Included on the single “pink/mixed juice,” released in February 2023, the track was created by So Sasaki, inspired by a café menu.
It honestly portrays the real feelings where love is mixed with helplessness and regret.
Perhaps this song, which affirms those blended emotions, will gently nudge you toward reconciling with your partner.
Fall in love with me againYUTORI-SEDAI
Even after the breakup, I find myself scrolling through the photos still left in my camera roll and wishing I could go back to those days.
This song captures that earnest lingering attachment in words that feel true to the YUTORI-SEDAI generation.
Released in March 2021, it’s an important track that marks a turning point for them, created with careful thought about how it would resonate with listeners.
It doesn’t just say, “I want to start over”; it delicately portrays the way feelings from a love that should have ended suddenly resurface in quiet moments—something anyone with an unforgettable someone will painfully relate to.
Its warm sound and wistful vocals might gently give you the courage to hope for a second chance.
MetronomeYonezu Kenshi
It’s a heartrending love song whose universal lyrics have resonated with many.
It likens the magnitude of the couple’s feelings to the ticking tempo of a metronome, depicting from a man’s perspective how the slightest misalignment eventually deepens into an irreparable rift as he struggles to forget her.
The track is included on the album “Bremen,” released in October 2015, and its music video—featuring 200 illustrations created by Kenshi Yonezu himself—also drew attention.
When we’re in love, we tend to get carried away and assume the other person feels the same.
It’s important to consider things from their point of view—including whether you truly like them and whether they truly like you.
The first winter without youKobayashi Tōya
Kobayashi Tōya’s major-label debut song straightforwardly sings about the biting cold of the first winter after a breakup and the lingering feelings that remain.
Its warm acoustic tones and emotionally rich vocals resonate in the heart, offering comfort to anyone who wishes they could go back to those days.
Released in November 2021, the track also drew attention as an insert song for ABEMA’s dating show “My Younger Prince: 100 Princes Edition.” It was later included on his first album, “Hiiragi,” and has garnered widespread empathy.
Listen to it on nights when the loneliness of being by yourself feels overwhelming.
It’s sure to gently melt your frozen heart.

A ballad themed around parting, with a beautiful, piano-centered melody that resonates deeply.
It was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s morning information program “Mezamashi TV” and became a familiar tune to many viewers, known as one of Angela Aki’s signature singles.
The lyrics express lingering attachment and regret over a lost love, as well as the hope of finding love again, conveying a strong desire to mend a relationship and face each other once more.
It’s a song that offers comfort to those with hearts wounded by the loss of someone precious, and to those who long for another chance.

Theory of the Mindful HeartRADWIMPS
When you’re in love, you sometimes feel sad thinking of someone, and other times you feel stronger, right? Heartbreak songs often sing of regret and the happy memories from when you were together, which can be bittersweet, but I feel RADWIMPS’ “Yūshinron” is a track that changes depending on the listener.
Still, if you really listen closely, it’s a number that expresses a desire to get back together, with some slightly chilling lines.
It sings of feelings that have no brakes—overwhelming, deep love born from thinking about someone so intensely.
Being loved this much feels both delightful and a little scary…
