Recommended breakup songs for women in their 50s: Classic and popular Japanese tracks (81–90)
Eyes Are Like DiamondsSeiko Matsuda
A slightly mature breakup song with the sparkling, candy-like voice of Seiko Matsuda—her “candy voice” nickname says it all.
The combination of lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto and music by Yumi Matsutoya (under the pen name Kureta Keiko) wonderfully conjures vivid scenes, making this one of Seiko’s hidden masterpieces.
Love Is OverOuyang Feifei
For those who were in their 50s, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call this song the ultimate heartbreak anthem.
It was released in 1979, and since it was on TV almost every week, I think many people ended up memorizing it.
It even became a karaoke standard that everyone sang.
Is Fifi Ouyang still active in Japan now?
Sentimental and DearToshihiko Tahara
It was Tahara’s debut single, a cover of Leif Garrett, and a breakup song at that—so realizing now just how incredibly popular it was back then, I really feel its impact.
People who were in middle or high school at the time probably remember the choreography.
Toshi-chan was so cute, after all.
bachelor girlJunichi Inagaki
Junichi Inagaki is known for his gently heartfelt love songs, and this track—composed by Eiichi Ohtaki—retains a refreshing feel while deepening the poignancy of heartbreak.
By the way, “bachelor” is used to mean an unmarried man.
Dumped, banzai!Masahiko Kondo
As the title suggests, this is Matchi’s heartbreak song.
Back then, breakup songs tended to be either dark and moody or upbeat and defiant—like “Yeah, I got dumped!” This one is definitely the latter: breezy, carefree, and very much in Matchi’s style.
I can't help wanting to see you.Hiromi Go
Even now, fans from back in the day still show up at his dinner shows—Hiromi Go and his fans are both going strong.
Amid the cover-song boom, this original track stands out; it’s a breakup song that conveys a mature sense of heartache.

OrangeSMAP
This is a song I want to listen to when she brings up breaking up and I’m left at a loss.
The words spoken at parting can be incredibly cruel, and it’s impossible to measure just how pathetic I’ve become.
If you’ve taken a serious hit, why not try healing those wounds with a song?
