Last SongGACKT
It’s a breakup song by GACKT released in 2003.
GACKT’s masculine, powerful voice leaves a strong impression.
Yet that very strength, paradoxically, accentuates the sad reality of heartbreak.
There are many reasons for parting, but it’s common to still be in love even after the breakup.
Every time you recall the moments you shared, it hurts.
The feeling of not wanting to wake up from the sadness is sentimental, but it’s something we can all relate to, isn’t it?
Then, why?Abe Mao
This is a song that Abe Mao wrote about something her friend experienced.
Even if you give your everything, the person you love won’t turn to look at you.
The lyrics are heartbreaking, as if you’ve been rejected before you even confess, and it’s recommended for when you want to have a good cry.
The lyrics are from a boy’s perspective, but they can also fit from a girl’s perspective.
Even if you went and became somebody’s damn girlfriendtensai bando
Perhaps everyone has someone they can’t forget—someone who suddenly comes to mind at certain moments.
The Genius Band’s song “Even If She Ends Up Becoming Someone’s Girlfriend” draws you in with its title, and even from that title alone you can feel the poignancy and emotion.
The track is included on Genius Band’s first album, “Ein und Stein.” Thinking of that someone you’ve always held in your heart, the person who pops into your mind out of the blue—loving them yet wishing from the bottom of your heart that they’re living happily now—brings tears you can’t hold back.
It was all you.Yamazaki Masayoshi
A gem of a ballad by Masayoshi Yamazaki.
The distinctive vocals weave a melody that’s sure to bring tears.
His warm, resonant voice will empathize with your pain and gently wrap around your heart.
Perfect for days when you want to have a good, quiet cry.
When the magic wears offSaucy Dog
Drawing attention for its strong storytelling, “When the Spell Breaks” is a track included on Saucy Dog’s album “But Really.” The song was originally written for singer-songwriter Gakuto Kajiwara, and this version is their self-cover.
In the lyrics, the sorrow of a man who has broken up with his lover is depicted with striking realism.
Incidentally, Saucy Dog also has a song called “Enchanted,” so listening to them back-to-back may help you immerse yourself even more deeply in their world.
You let me do as I please, and yet…arekunn
A song I want those hurt by a crush’s misleading behavior to hear: “Sukinisaseta Kuse ni” (“You Made Me Fall for You”).
Released in 2020 by singer-songwriter Are-kun, known for the hit “Baka,” this love song has resonated with people who’ve suffered through similarly painful one-sided love.
While the ups and downs of messaging with someone you like can be fun, once you realize they were never interested, you can’t help but feel sad and think, “What was all that time for…?”
So she’s not your girlfriend, huh?Ueno Yūka
A track included on Yuuka Ueno’s 2020 mini-album “Konya Atashi ga Naite mo.” The lyrics and music were written by Yohei Hashiguchi of wacci.
As the title suggests, this song portrays a breakup between a man and a woman and makes you painfully aware that you’re “not his girlfriend.” Many women may relate to still loving someone even after breaking up.
Even if you put on a brave face, averted eyes and hands you can no longer hold bring the reality home with each little moment.
It’s a farewell song that deeply resonates when you listen to it in such times.
