A gem of a love song that portrays looking forward after heartbreak.

It accepts the breakup with a former lover and expresses the growth that comes from that experience, set to a gentle melodic line.

It’s a memorable masterpiece marked by a positive spirit—being grateful for the encounter and cherishing the memories, even if the love was unfulfilled.

Included on the album “TIME,” this song was written as the theme for the film “366 Days,” released in January 2025.

Positioned as an answer song to “366 Days,” which sang of unrequited love, it completes the story of recovering from heartbreak.

A heartwarming ballad that resonates with those who have overcome the pain of a breakup or who hold dear the memories of a precious love.

A song by back number that became a hot topic as the theme song for the drama “The Biggest Love: With You Who Will Forget Me.” It’s not a breakup song, but it’s a love song I really want you to listen to when you’ve just gone through a breakup.

Right after a breakup, you probably still have feelings for that person.

Just because you were dumped doesn’t mean you can suddenly stop liking them, right…? This is a song I recommend for you in that situation.

Someday at ChristmasDISH//

DISH// – Merry Christmas Someday [Official Video Short ver.]

It’s a high-energy, pop-style song packed with a man’s anxiety and pain as he prays to God about not having found a girlfriend since Valentine’s Day.

Technically it’s a heartbreak song, with lyrics overflowing with sadness.

Until the day I can no longer rememberback number

back number – Until the Day It Becomes Unrememberable (full)

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.

Okazaki Taiiku “Heartbreak Song” Music Video

This song, which portrays the pain of heartbreak and the journey to recovery, gives voice to the feelings of a protagonist who has gone through a grand, firework-like breakup.

It poignantly lists the places filled with memories of time spent with a lover—movie theaters, amusement parks, aquariums—depicting how they “burn down” over time.

Yet the lyrics, laced with humor, also convey a resilient determination to look forward, encouraging oneself that there’s no use in dwelling on the past.

Embracing the listener’s heart while inspiring the courage to move on, this track shines with Okazaki Taiiku’s sharp observational eye and singular sensibility—a unique heartbreak song that doesn’t leave any time for somber reflection.

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.

FUNKY MONKEY BABYS "You’re Not Here Anymore"

A song that expresses a man’s honest feelings after being dumped by his girlfriend.

I like that it doesn’t try to be cool, and it’s very easy to listen to.

Because it has a good groove, the melody doesn’t sound gloomy, letting you revel in heartbreak with a brighter feel.

If you don’t like gloomy vibes, I recommend this one.
