[Women’s Breakup Songs] Heartfelt tracks dedicated to you, who loved with all your might (21–30)
Kasane AiSoala
A heart-stirring ballad by Soala, rendered in beautifully poignant words about a love that slipped away.
With a clear, translucent voice, she sings of the regret for a romance that might have lasted had they met differently, and of feelings that will never intertwine.
Released in January 2025 and included on the EP “Bluem,” the song also drew attention for its music video featuring model Suzuka Orita and actor Yusei Ito.
The memories of happier days and the fragile tale of a love heading toward parting resonate deeply.
Whether you’re struggling with a relationship or want to sing while thinking of someone precious, this is a song that will speak your heart for you.
A Naked Heartaimyon
A gentle, moving number that heals a broken heart and leads you toward your next love, “Naked Heart.” It’s a song by singer-songwriter Aimyon, and it became a hot topic when it was chosen as the theme song for the 2020 drama “My Housekeeper Nagisa-san.” When you go through heartbreak over and over, you can lose confidence in yourself, and seeing couples can make you feel envious.
While singing about these feelings that everyone experiences, the song also portrays the supple strength of a woman who, even so, chooses to love again and move forward.

After a broken heartCHIHIRO
Of course, when you go through a breakup you feel sad and unmotivated, but even though you know there’s no point in wondering what you did wrong or why things ended up this way, you can’t help thinking about it over and over.
This song really understands those feelings—it’s a breakup song you can truly relate to.
It makes me realize that no matter how much you cry, the tears never seem to run out.
Rejected-Love GirlSayuri
Sayuri’s “Furaregāru” (Breakup Girl) drew attention for being produced by RADWIMPS vocalist Yojiro Noda.
While breakup songs often carry a sad and sorrowful image, this track also portrays the emotion of anger.
The lyric “There’s no way you’d dump me” expresses sadness through anger, and that feeling resonates and is relatable even more than overly straightforward lyrics.
Love StoryAmuro Namie
When you think of one of the songstresses of the Heisei era, Namie Amuro comes to mind.
For those who lived through Heisei, this is a nostalgic heartbreak song.
It’s included on her 2012 album “Uncontrolled.” The song sings of two things: the joy of having met someone and gratitude toward them, and the sadness of growing apart and breaking up.
Someone with whom you spent wonderful times and to whom you can never be grateful enough is someone you can never forget.
If you’ve experienced parting with someone you truly loved, you may find yourself sighing—or even in tears.
So it wasn’t me, huh.riria.
This is the fifth single by singer-songwriter Riria, who has gained support from younger generations and gone viral mainly on social media with her song “I Was Cheated On, But I Still Love Him.” Many listeners may find their tears welling up at the lyrics—born from real experience—and the gentle tones of the acoustic guitar.
The words from someone you love, the feeling of knowing it’s a heartbreak yet being unable to let go—common in love, yet still so painful.
It’s a ballad that many women will relate to, one that tightens the chest with emotions that grow precisely because the relationship hasn’t even begun yet.
MPRINCESS PRINCESS
One of PRINCESS PRINCESS’s signature works, released in 1988.
It’s a classic that’s still covered by many artists, regardless of gender.
With its poignant, female-perspective lyrics—like not being able to delete an address or forgetting the way he looked from behind—it effortlessly brings back memories of someone you can’t forget.
