“I’ll live until I die!!” It’s a song with a striking, powerful message that seems obvious at first glance but is easy to forget.

It’s one of Gagaga SP’s signature tracks! The lyrics, which portray the protagonist’s lingering attachment to his ex after a breakup, feel more and more like a gentle embrace the more you listen, as if saying, “It’s okay to be hung up on it.” It’s a song I absolutely want you to listen to when you’re hurting from a broken heart.

The title “Futte Ageru” (“I’ll Dump You”) is so typically Yuming and really great.

Yuming is always on women’s side! That’s how she makes you feel.

This song seems to express the complexities of a woman’s heart, with sad lyrics set to a bright melody.

In the end, the attitude of “I’ll be the one to say goodbye!” is irresistibly cutting.

Whether you’re a man or a woman, maybe you can’t move forward unless you learn to cherish yourself in the end.

This is the title track included on Rina Katahira’s second album, “Saikou no Shiuchi,” released in 2016.

It’s a profoundly heavy song that hits you hard and feels like it could even transform your relationships and outlook on life.

It’s also an uplifting anthem that seems to help you move forward properly and positively, even when you’re feeling down from heartbreak.

Rather than lamenting a broken heart, I want to see it as a fresh start.

This is a perfect track by Liana for those with that kind of positive mindset.

“I’m better off with you gone.” The strong feelings of a woman are sung with a light touch.

Don’t miss songstress Liana’s beautiful vocal work, too.
