PretenderOfisharu Higedan Dism
Official HIGE DANDism had been steadily growing in popularity, but this song was the one that sparked their explosive breakthrough into becoming a truly national act.
It’s a breakup song told from a male perspective, yet many teenage girls may find themselves empathizing with the bittersweet emotions in the lyrics.
It’s a love that finally came true, and yet somehow the gears don’t mesh.
The song portrays a man who realizes he isn’t the right match for his partner and, out of consideration for them, steps back on his own.
In fact, the situation depicted in these lyrics might be even more relatable for women.
A song about being cheated on but still in love.riria.
This song, whose shocking title has likely left a strong impression on many, is one of singer-songwriter Riria’s signature tracks.
As the title suggests, the lyrics portray a woman who was cheated on yet still loves her boyfriend.
Terms like Instagram Stories and LINE appear in the lyrics, making the song feel more relatable to listeners.
It’s said the lyrics were written based on love consultations from friends and fans on social media, which is why they feel so real and resonate with so many people.
catDISH//
This song, written and composed by singer-songwriter Aimyon for DISH//, poignantly and beautifully captures lingering feelings for an ex.
The lyrics are told from a male perspective, but the sentiments of lingering attachment are relatable regardless of gender.
The imagery of walking home at sunset is especially beautiful and adds a bittersweet touch that really tugs at the heart.
There’s also a self-cover version by Aimyon herself, which I recommend especially for female listeners.

Girls don’t cry.katahira rina
This is a song you can’t leave out when talking about breakup tracks recommended for women by singer-songwriter Rina Katahira, who has created many songs that capture women’s feelings.
The inner conflict before dating, the anxiety after you start going out—these are emotions any woman can relate to, aren’t they? Although the title is “Girls Don’t Cry,” the latter half of the song carries the message that it’s okay to be yourself and cry when you feel like it.
It’s a cheer-up song for women that we especially hope those fresh from a breakup will listen to.
maybeYOASOBI
The lyrics use the first-person pronoun “boku,” so they aren’t written from a female perspective, but since this duo is extremely popular among teenage girls, I picked this song as well.
YOASOBI is known for creating songs based on novels, and this track was also made from a short story of the same name.
The story goes: a roommate who suddenly left one day returns and begins erasing their belongings and the traces of the life the two shared.
I’m sure there are people who, after a breakup, have struggled with the pain of their ex’s traces lingering in the room they once shared, yet feeling unable to erase them—such a complicated mix of emotions.
The song also talks about how the reason things didn’t work out wasn’t one person’s fault but a responsibility shared by both, offering many points that are highly relatable.
Because I fell in loveaimyon
If you’re a teenage girl, you’ve probably listened to a lot of Aimyon’s songs, but for a heartbreak song, this one is my recommendation.
With a simple acoustic guitar accompaniment and a gently sung, soothing melody, it’s a tender track.
Just as the lyrics describe, when you’re in love, the scenery looks different, and because you’re in love, you feel all sorts of emotions—many people can relate, don’t you think? It’s a warm song that stays close to the pain of heartbreak and comforts your aching heart.
playing loversmakaroni enpitsu
This song by the hugely popular rock band Macaroni Enpitsu is written from the perspective of the man in a couple who couldn’t quite connect emotionally.
Even though they were clearly drawn to each other, their awkwardness kept them from expressing their feelings well.
That clumsy mismatch kept repeating, and they ended up breaking up.
The male protagonist looks back on their relationship with regret, and though he still has lingering feelings, he makes up his mind to move forward.
Surely, regardless of gender, there are people who are awkward when it comes to love.
If you’ve suffered a heartbreak because of your own awkwardness, listen to this song, reset, and start walking toward a new love!
