[Women's Heartbreak Songs] Soul-stirring songs for you who loved with all your heart (31–40)
loveUru
Uru’s song “Koi” affirms the sadness of a broken heart.
The track was written and composed by Yohei Hashiguchi of wacci.
Rather than viewing a breakup negatively, it conveys, “Thanks to this, I was able to grow,” and “From here on, we can both become even happier.” Also, because the lyrics are in a first-person female perspective, women can directly relate, and men can listen from the standpoint of the one being addressed.
Be sure to listen to it together with the music video, which depicts a love story.
On nights when I’m too lonely to sleepAimer
A song from Aimer’s 2012 album “Sleepless Nights.” From the title alone, some women might be thinking, “I’ve been there!” You’re sure you love them more than anyone else does, yet your feelings can no longer reach them.
Spending the night alone, you grow lonelier and sadder by the minute.
The heartrending piano and Aimer’s poignant voice pierce the heart.
Moon CryingKōda Kumi
A song by Kumi Koda—known by the nickname “Kuu-chan” and for establishing her unique “sexy-cool” style as one of the Heisei era’s divas.
It serves as the opening track of her 40th single, MOON, and was used as the theme song for the TV drama Puzzle.
The lyrics trace the regret felt after a breakup and the memories of happier days—feelings many women who’ve experienced heartbreak will likely relate to.
With a spacious arrangement of piano and strings that envelops the sadness, it’s a breakup ballad that pierces a wounded heart.
BelieveNishino Kana
A song by Kana Nishino that leaves a strong impression: after boldly transforming her look and starting to work on herself, the protagonist spots her ex looking happy, feels shaken, yet resolves to move forward with a positive outlook.
Alongside its up-tempo sound, the message emphasizing the importance of believing in yourself resonates deeply.
Released in June 2013, the track was used in House Wellness Foods’ C1000 commercial and is included on the album Love Collection ~mint~.
It’s a gentle push for anyone healing from heartbreak who wants to believe in their future, and for those ready to take a new step forward.
dearestFukuyama Masaharu
A song by singer-songwriter Masaharu Fukuyama, who continues to make his presence felt across a wide range of fields from music to acting.
It’s a self-cover of a track by KOH+, his unit with female singer Kou Shibasaki, and is included on his 10th album, “Zankyo” (Reverberation).
The depiction of not wanting to sever ties with someone even after breaking up, even after falling out of love, is something anyone—especially right after a heartbreak—can relate to.
With its rich piano sound and soothing low register vocals that gently cradle a wounded heart, it’s a breakup song with real depth.

Although it’s a breakup song, it’s very uplifting and fills you with gratitude and strength.
It leaves you with a warm feeling of being thankful for having met, and makes you feel like you can forgive yourself for being a little greedy in hoping you might meet again someday.
