This heartwarming song by Matsuri gently portrays the feelings of a woman who, while reminiscing about a former lover, tries to move forward.

Released in March 2024, it weaves together lingering attachments to someone who comes to mind late at night and a positive resolve to take a new step.

With vocals that embrace the listener and carefully chosen words, it offers solace to those hoping to recover from heartbreak.

Included on the album “Someday, It Became Part of Life,” its music video presents a worldview themed around a “journey through memories.” It’s recommended for anyone who relates to the complex emotions after a romance ends or who needs the energy to move on.

A song that tightens your chest with its heartrending vocals.

The complex emotions of a man who’s been told it’s over are woven in delicate words.

It was the other person who confessed their love, yet it’s also the other person who ends it—such a contradiction.

They should have truly loved each other, but before they knew it, that love turned into hatred.

The song captures the fragility of such a romance.

Also talked about as an answer song to Atarayo’s signature track “I’ll Forget Your Quietness in October,” it was included on the October 2021 EP “Before Dawn.” It’s a bittersweet yet warm piece that gently accompanies those bearing the pain of heartbreak.

Released in 2012 as Sonar Pocket’s sixth digital single.

The lyrics portray a straightforward and realistic depiction of heartbreak, making it a song that anyone who has experienced a breakup can relate to.

It conveys the desire to move on from heartbreak, and its gentle vocals resonate deeply with the listener.

I think the “heartbreak period” is exactly what the song’s title, “Until the Day I Can No Longer Remember,” refers to.

As long as you can’t help remembering, all sorts of things will race through your mind—you’ll laugh at the happy memories, and the painful ones and your regrets will bring the sadness back again.

Repeating that cycle, your wounds gradually heal with the passage of time.

But even if you could forget everything, would that really be a good thing? The hazy emotions after a breakup are expressed just as they are.

This is a song by Matsuri that delicately portrays the feelings of a woman breaking free from a past dependence on love and trying to take a new step forward.

Released digitally in June 2022, it features striking lyrics about the struggle between telling herself she’s forgotten her former partner and the bittersweet memories that occasionally resurface.

The track gained popularity on TikTok and resonated with younger listeners, and a music video starring Yuu Miyazaki was also produced.

It’s a warm breakup song that offers comfort to those trying to face forward despite heartache and to those who still feel lingering attachment to past love.

Less than friends, less than lovers

I’m sure there are people who decided to stop living together after a breakup.

It leaves you with such a bittersweet feeling, doesn’t it? That’s why I want you to listen to “Less Than Friends, Less Than Lovers.” It portrays two people whose feelings gradually drift apart until they’re just housemates.

In the latter half of the song, the two reunite, but they end up in an ambiguous relationship where they can’t go back to being lovers or even become friends.

Still, it doesn’t carry a negative message—it’s about the resolve to keep moving forward.

I want people who’ve had the experience of loving someone but having to break up to listen to this.

It’s up-tempo and the vocals are bright, so even though it’s a heartbreak song, you can listen to it with a light heart.

I think even couples who are happy right now will be reminded that happiness isn’t a given and think, “If there’s something to say, we should say it right away,” when they hear it.
