Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE / Fireworks ~Short Version~

A song about a short-lived romance that everyone has experienced.

I once had a brief but intense summer fling myself, so it brings back memories and makes me cry a lot.

I think many students have had a love like this, so I want them to listen to it too.

AAA / "Before the Goodbye" Music Video

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.

BENI – Never Again…

It’s a stylish-sounding heartbreak song.

The lyrics are, of course, good, but the melody is even more wonderful—it makes you cry while you listen and helps you feel calm.

I think men can listen to it easily, too.

BENI has many male fans, so I recommend this song to men as well.

Fated OneEXILE

EXILE TAKAHIRO / “The One of Destiny” (Music Video)

It was released in 2004 as a double A-side single with “Carry On.” The lyrics were written by vocalist ATSUSHI.

This is a bittersweet love song about feelings of love realized too late.

Even as each person walks their own path, it cherishes the emotions they hold now—a perfect track for unrequited love.

EXILE ATSUSHI / Real Valentine

This is a heartbreak song that portrays a bittersweet love.

EXILE ATSUSHI’s emotive vocals vividly express lingering feelings and regret for a former lover.

The pain of realizing “we’ll never meet again,” and the wish of “if only I could go back to the past,” really hit home.

Released in June 2013 as the coupling track to EXILE’s single “Flower Song,” and later included on ATSUSHI’s solo album, this piece is recommended for moments when you want to heal a broken heart or reflect on memories with someone special.

Listening to this song might make you want to cherish the love you have now.

You’re no longer here.FUNKY MONKEY BABYS

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.

I just had a love sadder than anyone else’s.Flower

Flower “Just a Love Sadder Than Anyone Else’s” out 9/14. Best album: “THIS IS Flower THIS IS BEST.”

This song is truly heartbreaking! It makes you cry! It’s perfect for people going through unrequited love, being cheated on by a boyfriend, or finding out the person they like already has a girlfriend—those kinds of heartbreak.

It’s sad and painful, but I think it’s also a song that, in some way, looks forward and stays positive.
