A Tearful Farewell Song: A Love Song About Parting with Someone You Love

Accompanist / Piano InstructorYuri
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.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Even when you understand it in your head, an unexpected breakup with a partner is hard because your feelings can’t keep up.

Everyone has different reasons for breaking up, but I imagine most people feel the same way—“it hurts,” “I just want to cry.”

In this article, we’re picking out tear-jerking breakup songs from popular love songs.

Focusing on tracks that sing about lingering feelings of love, we’ll introduce breakup songs that stay close to your heart.

When you feel like crying, give them a listen.

When Yojiro Noda sings, it can feel like the song is from a male perspective, but Aimyon’s vocals instantly bring in a female viewpoint, making it feel more relatable.

It’s a track that conveys an inescapable, hazy sense of frustration.

Clouds and Ghosts - Yorushika

A track included on the 2017 mini-album “The Summer Grass Gets in the Way.” It’s a refreshing, gentle ballad, but the lyrics evoke death.

The protagonist “I,” who has passed away, goes to be by “you” and speaks various words.

As a ghost, he can’t be seen, but his words are tender, as if gently urging the listener to move forward without being bound by his death.

Yorushika – Left-Right Blindness (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Left-right blindness Yorushika

The theme song for the film “Even If This Love Disappears from the World Tonight,” which tells a heartbreaking yet precious love story about a girl who loses her memory day by day and a boy who lives bound by his memories.

It’s a song by the two-piece rock band Yorushika that likens a universal farewell between lovers—parting from someone you love and gradually forgetting them until even their face fades—to left-right confusion.

The memories that the two believed they could never forget when they were together slowly disappear, and the painful way they slip away tightens the heart.
