Shall we break up, Miyuhan?

I’d like to introduce “Wakare Yokka” as a highly relatable breakup song.

It’s a release by Miyuhan, a singer-songwriter and voice actress.

This ballad, marked by its guitar-centered sound, portrays a woman who’s fed up with a boyfriend that doesn’t cherish her and finally decides to break up, along with the inner conflict leading up to it.

As you listen, pay attention to how the ending unfolds and where the title phrase appears.

Vending Machine Love — Ai Higuchi

Singer-songwriter Ai Higuchi’s bittersweet love song “Jihanki no Koi” (“Vending Machine Love”) brims with aching emotions.

Released as the second installment of Higuchi’s “Love Song Trilogy,” it was written as the theme song for the film “Can You Buy That Love from a Vending Machine?” Haven’t we all experienced those one-sided feelings—riding an emotional roller coaster over the other person’s smallest gestures or words, wondering what they really think of us? It’s a refreshing track that captures the mix of joy and chest-tightening pain with a delicate touch.

Thread by Miyuki Nakajima

It’s a song covered by many artists.

The more you reflect on the lyrics—likening ourselves to a woven fabric, and the cloth the two of us create someday healing someone’s wounds and keeping someone warm—the more you’re drawn into its depth.

It’s also a classic wedding song and a timeless masterpiece that has been sung for many years.

Sounds good.Ayaka Ide

Sounds good.

Nice, Ayaka Ide.

This is a gently toned song by singer-songwriter Ayaka Ide that expresses the feeling of being in love.

While it features a strong rhythm with an R&B sensibility, the overall sound has a floating, airy quality that leaves a strong impression.

The title, which conveys a light, affirmative will, is another key point—it evokes an image of quietly facing one’s own heart.

It’s a track that encourages a calm, forward-looking mindset, telling us not to be swayed by our surroundings and to cherish the present—even if things feel uncertain.
