alreadyAbe Mao
This is a song that honestly expresses a girl’s true feelings as she lays everything on the line at the end of a relationship.
The sentiment of “I wanted you to love me more, but it’s far too late now” matches perfectly with Mao Abe’s strong, unwavering vocals.
The Power of Encounters IIIAAA
A duet song by AAA that portrays the dynamics of love between a man and a woman.
The piano and string accompaniment is beautiful, and along with the lovely harmonies, it gently seeps into a wounded heart.
It’s a tender song that makes you feel that even if you end up walking separate paths, it will surely become nourishment for you.
MemoryBOØWY
A classic ballad by the legendary Japanese rock band BOØWY, counted among their most popular songs.
The lyrics depict the mindset of a man who, at the end of a romance, is about to slip away alone—so powerful they cut straight to the heart.
Yet there’s a certain stoic purity to it that many men will surely relate to.

Thank youJUJU
It’s the theme song of the movie “Tsunagu.” It’s a song for those moments when you feel down—like the sense of loss and sadness after a breakup—but listening to it fills you with gratitude toward the other person and a desire to cherish the memories you shared.
It’s a song that lifts you up and gives you the feeling that you can take a step forward.
Like magicSHISHAMO
It’s a perfect song for girls.
When you go through a breakup, it’s easy to get jaded, but this song lifts up the feeling of not forgetting to keep polishing yourself and of how wonderful it is to stay your sparkling self.
It’s not a love song, but I think it’s soothing.
100 What-Ifs for Youflumpool
It expresses the utterly helpless, lost feeling right after being rejected.
Vocalist Yamamura himself has said, “The lyrics are written as if in a tunnel in the dark, but I’m sure that time will become time that leads to tomorrow,” so I think the message comes across quite directly.
Rain, then Sunshine Hallelujahyuzu
As the title suggests, after the rain you can see clear skies.
After tears, a day will come when you can smile.
It’s a song that fills you with the resolve to move toward the future and lifts your spirits.
Yuzu’s soothing vocals and harmonies make you want to keep listening forever.
