[Women's Heartbreak Songs] Soul-stirring songs for you who loved with all your heart (31–40)
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.
After the nightadieu
Actress Moka Kamishiraishi performs under the name adieu when she’s making music.
When you’re in love, there are times you struggle with feelings you know you shouldn’t confess, or with a love you know won’t come true.
She sings about a woman’s aching heart, filled with those very emotions.
It’s a song I really want you to listen to while reading each line of the lyrics.
Know the real meKato Miria
This song released by Miliyah Kato in 2019 is addressed to an ex-boyfriend, and I think many women will find themselves saying, “Ah, I know this feeling.” Every part of the lyrics resonates so deeply that it’s almost overwhelming.
Precisely because you love someone so much, you want them to know everything about you, and you want them to come back—you want them to recognize that strong, unwavering love.
More than friends, less than loversmatsumura kanau
Lyrics that earnestly spell out feelings for someone who doesn’t notice how you feel… they pierce the heart.
This song by Osaka-born singer-songwriter Kanau Matsumura was released as a single in 2022.
The relaxed sound and soft, comforting vocals sink into your heart.
Perhaps it’s precisely because of that sonic atmosphere that we can’t help but empathize with the song’s protagonist.
Saying “I don’t want a half-baked relationship” might end up causing yourself pain, but pursuing an answer isn’t wrong, is it?
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.

Yorunagi feat. nishinaindigo la End
A heart-stirring ballad by indigo la End that, with a gentle melody wrapping the hush of winter, portrays the bittersweet feelings of two people facing a farewell.
The wish to stay together a little longer, to postpone goodbye until winter ends, resonates deeply.
Enhanced by a collaboration with female artist nishina, the song gains even greater depth.
The music video, directed by filmmaker Aya Igashi, beautifully captures the stillness and fragility of a winter night.
It’s a song that stays close to the hearts of those who want to cherish their final moments with a lover.
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.
