Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

A love that won’t return, no matter how hard you wish.

Even when you muster the courage to confess, they don’t turn around.

Or you finally become mutual, only for their feelings to drift away from you.

After heartbreak, you find yourself thinking, “I shouldn’t have confessed,” or “If only I’d been more honest,” and blaming yourself as precious moments replay in your mind.

And the more you try to forget, the stronger your feelings for them grow…

The songs featured in this article are all achingly beautiful masterpieces we want you—who loved with all your heart—to hear.

Regret that won’t stop no matter how much you cry, and the inability to give up on the one you love.

These songs will stay close to those pure feelings.

[Women’s Breakup Songs] Heartfelt tracks dedicated to you, who loved with all your might (21–30)

Happiness / back number (cover)

Happinessback number

This is a track from back number’s 2011 album “Super Star.” It’s heartbreakingly sad right from the start…

Knowing that the person you truly love is in love with someone else is really painful.

Precisely because you love them so much, you want them to be happy.

If it’s for his happiness, you even want to give him a push.

You offer advice just to be by his side.

I think many of us can relate to what this song sings about.

This bittersweet ache is just unbearable.

This is “Tabako” by Koresawa, a song that expresses regret over both the parts she loved about her cigarette-loving boyfriend and the intense, heavy feeling she directed at him—“I want you to love yourself more.” You can feel how every time she sees a cigarette, she’s reminded of him, her regret deepens, and the loneliness wells up.

Be sure to listen to the male-perspective answer song “Koibito Shikkaku” as well.

As an ex-girlfriendMy Hair is Bad

This song by My Hair is Bad is portrayed through the gaze of a woman exhausted by love.

It’s striking how, as she faces a breakup, she tries to move forward in her own way—changing her appearance and throwing herself into parties.

Behind that are a distrust that leaves her unable to believe in anything and a wish to be freed from past relationships.

Included on the November 2017 album “mothers,” this work is a ballad that stands beside those confronting the end of a romance and evokes deep empathy.

Even while carrying the pain of heartbreak, it’s sure to spark a shift of heart in anyone trying to take a new step forward.
