Masterpieces that sing of regret. Recommended popular songs.

Composer/arranger, guitarist, and bloggerSaitō Ayumu
I started playing guitar in elementary school, and in junior high and high school I played the horn in the concert band. In college I became engrossed in composing and began using DTM. These days, I provide songs to artists as a composer, run a blog under the name “Sakki,” and post music lesson videos on YouTube. My musical roots are in rock, but I also love dance music!

There’s a saying that life has its ups and downs, and as long as we’re living, we’re bound to have regrets.

When that happens, what do you do to bounce back?

Many people relieve stress by exercising or traveling, but listening to music to sort out your feelings is also highly recommended.

In this article, I’d like to introduce lots of songs themed around regret!

If there’s something you just can’t help regretting, try listening to music and take the next step forward.

Sharam Q “Single Bed” (Music Video)

This is a gem of a ballad that strikingly portrays the poignant feelings of a heartbroken man.

Sharam Q released the song in October 1994. It was used as the ending theme for the Nippon TV anime “D·N·A²: A Girl Who Arrived?” and went on to become a million-selling hit.

It is included on the album “Rettōkan” (Inferiority Complex) and was later featured as an insert song in the 2017 film “Memoirs of a Murderer.” Furniture steeped in memories of a former lover is depicted as a symbol that highlights the protagonist’s loneliness, powerfully expressing a shift in values toward love.

This moving masterpiece is perfect for a calm night drive or for quiet moments when you think of someone dear.

Formed in 2017 as one of the AKB48 groups, STU48 is an idol group based in the seven prefectures of the Setouchi region.

Their 10th single, “What Will You Regret?” features an ensemble with a touch of wistfulness that leaves a strong impression.

Even when we think we’ve chosen the best option at the time, people still end up having regrets—this message seems to teach us both the difficulty of life and the preciousness of choosing to live in a way that leaves no regrets.

With its translucent vocals and memorable melody, it’s a sentimental pop tune.
