Its stylish sound and bouncy vocals will stick in your head.

It’s a song by Satoko Shibata, a singer-songwriter from Hokkaido, included on her 2017 album “Holiday of Love.” It may come across as a breezy, carefree breakup song, but reading the lyrics, you can imagine a protagonist forcing themselves to act cheerful.

That said, it isn’t exactly a sad song either; with each repeat listen, you notice something new and it keeps surprising you.

Even though, true to its title, it sings about “regret,” you might find yourself smiling and skipping as you listen on a walk.

“Sotsugyou” is a slightly positive breakup song by My Hair is Bad.

In the first verse, the lyrics are from the perspective of a man who loves “you,” while the second verse is written from “your” perspective.

The two keep getting together and breaking up, slipping into a complacent relationship, but the song depicts their decision to end it with a ‘graduation.’ In love, we tend to prioritize our feelings of affection above all else, but it’s bittersweet that they choose to part ways for the sake of each of their futures.

One day, when they look back, they’ll surely feel that this was for the best.
