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.

Masaharu Fukuyama – Beloved (Full ver.)

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.

Love Story – Namie Amuro (Full)

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.

[Official] Uru 'Koi' from 3rd ALBUM 'Contrast'

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.

Yorunagi feat. nishinaindigo la End

indigo la End – Night Calm feat. nishina

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.

More than friends, less than loversmatsumura kanau

More than friends, less than lovers

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?
