Until the day I can no longer rememberback number
When it comes to breakup songs, back number is absolutely indispensable.
I feel like the “breakup period” is exactly what the title of this song captures: “Until the Day I Can No Longer Remember.” As long as you can still remember, your mind keeps circling through different things—you laugh at the happy memories, and the painful ones and the regrets bring the sadness flooding back.
Little by little, with the passage of time, the wounds begin to heal.
But even if you forget everything, is that really for the best…? The muddled emotions that follow a breakup are expressed here just as they are.
Because I fell in loveaimyon
A bittersweet breakup song by Aimyon, a singer-songwriter from Hyogo Prefecture.
The gentle sound of the acoustic guitar and her clear, transparent voice seem to slip right into our hearts.
The title, “Koi wo Shita Kara” (“Because I Fell in Love”), is truly relatable.
When you fall in love, you experience both joy and pain.
But that’s what love is, isn’t it?
somedaySaucy Dog
Someday I’ll forget, and someday we’ll meet again.
This is a Saucy Dog track that dwells on the many different “somedays” that follow a broken heart.
It’s included on the mini-album Country Road.
Until the chorus, it calmly recalls memories from when they were together, but when the vocals swell in the chorus, vocalist-guitarist Shinya Ishihara’s voice brings an overwhelming pang of sorrow.
They wanted to stay together forever—those feelings spill over into the chorus, which uses so few words yet says so much.
And then, wishing for the day they’ll meet again, the song comes to a close.
I want to forget.wacci
This is a song by wacci that portrays the feelings of someone suffering from the pain of heartbreak.
Have you ever had the experience where the more you try to forget, the more vividly the memories come back? The repeated phrase “I want to forget the voice of the person I loved” carries a heartrending poignancy.
Released in July 2024, this track is wacci’s third love song release of 2024.
Actress Aju Makita appears in the music video, beautifully embodying the world of the song.
It’s recommended for times when you want to be alone with your sadness or when you’re trying to overcome the pain of a broken heart.
It will surely be there to comfort you.

It’s a very moving song that makes you think of someone precious who’s no longer here.
Even with a hint of regret, it conveys a steadfast heart that still can’t forget—a love, a cherished person—held with single-minded devotion.
Those emotions come through and bring me to tears.
We can’t change the past, but we’re free to think of the other person.
If you can’t forget them, it’s okay to keep on loving them, isn’t it?
I loved (it/you)erica
This is a break-up song released by Erica in 2016.
Many women can probably relate to the feeling of trying to act okay and say goodbye, even while facing the sorrow of a broken heart.
When you’re actually still attached, want to get back together, and feel like crying right now but hold it in, it’s incredibly painful.
It may be a profound sadness, but building that kind of positive attitude could help women grow and shine even more.
Even after a breakup, let this song encourage you and keep going!
