[Women's Heartbreak Songs] Touching songs for you, who loved with all your heart (81–90)
Roppongi HeartbreakAn Ruisu
This is a number by Ann Lewis released in 1984.
In a word: incredibly powerful! And downright bubbly.
The superb lyrics really capture the spirit of the times.
It sounds like it would get everyone going if you sang it at a snack bar or karaoke.
Rather than spending every day in tears, sing your heart out, let it go, and get ready for new encounters.
Women are beautiful! Hold your head high and keep moving forward!
Unforgettable DaysMISIA
“WASURENAI HIBI (Unforgettable Days),” MISIA’s classic released in 2000.
It’s a breakup song that, while tinged with sadness, conveys a powerful resolve as a woman turns the days she spent with her former lover into a positive force and steps forward into the rest of her life.
Even after heartbreak, it reminds us of the beauty of being in love.
I don’t like it.yangusukinii
A four-piece rock band formed by members who met on social media, Young Skinny sings a song that portrays the bittersweet feelings of a woman who can’t forget an old love.
She’s thrown away all the mementos to move on to her next relationship, yet the memories alone won’t fade, and they resurface in unexpected moments—an experience many of us have had.
The more you think, “I’ve already forgotten,” the more the memories cling to you.
It’s a heartbreak song that gently tells those who wonder, “Why do I keep dwelling on this?” that they’re not alone and that it’s going to be okay.
To tell you the truth.yoriko
Yoriko’s “Honto wa ne,” with its fragile yet strong, resolute singing voice, was released in 2002.
It’s about that helpless feeling of having always loved someone but never being able to confess it in the end.
You worry that, even after years, those feelings might never take flight and may never change.
But I don’t think you have to force yourself to forget or try to move on.
Continuing to think about one person for a long time is painful, but it will surely make you beautiful at heart.
Please cherish that precious love as much as you want.
Stop this nightJUJU
I can’t help thinking, “Who knew words of love could sound this sad…?” This song by JUJU, the popular singer known for numerous hits like “Ashita ga Kuru Nara” and “I can be free,” was released in 2010 as her 15th single.
It drew attention when it was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama Guilty: Akuma to Keiyaku Shita Onna.
It’s an R&B-style ballad, with JUJU’s clear, piercing vocals striking straight to the heart.
The feelings between oneself and a lover have somehow drifted apart; it hurts when you just can’t get your feelings across, doesn’t it? If you’re fresh off a heartbreak, this is surely one of those classic J-pop songs that will stay by your side.
distress (at sea/in the mountains); being lost; stranded; a disaster situationToukyou Jihen
Even though you’re sure you like the other person, somehow it just doesn’t work out…
This is a highly message-driven piece that makes you think about the sense of distance with someone important.
It’s a song by Tokyo Jihen, the rock band led by singer-songwriter Ringo Sheena, released in 2004 as their second single.
It’s a very mature rock number where the tight, sharp performance meshes perfectly with Sheena’s sweet vocals.
I bet many people are drawn to this kind of cool, stylish worldview.
Listening to it might help you see heartbreak as one of life’s experiences.

GoodbyeŌhara Sakurako
This is a song released in 2017 as the eighth single by Sakurako Ohara, who is also active as an actress.
Yoshiki Mizuno of Ikimono-gakari wrote and composed the song.
It portrays a love that drifted apart while growing into adulthood, and in the music video, Ohara rides the Enoden railway, listening to music with a poignant expression that leaves a strong impression.
