Don’t you also have someone you just can’t forget? This track, released in 2021 by Balloon—known as the creator of the mega-hit “Charles”—is rhythmical and fast-paced, yet there’s a certain shadowy feel to it, whether from the melody or the sound arrangement.

The protagonist’s earnest emotions come through clearly throughout the song.

That said, the way the chorus kicks in feels unbelievably good.

It’s a high-sense, stylish Vocaloid song that blends sadness with sheer exhilaration.

【Project DIVA F2nd】Jenga【EDIT PV】

A song by 40mP sung by Miku.

It likens how the years and affection we’ve built up can easily collapse if just one piece is pulled out to a game of Jenga.

Even if what we’ve piled up is a fabrication, each piece of memory is not something that should simply disappear—there’s a faint glimmer of hope in that final note.

Epilogue / Kafu

This is a heart-wrenching ballad that sings of the pain and regret of heartbreak.

Created by Naisho no Pierce, the piece was released in September 2024.

With Kafu’s earnest vocals and dynamic sound arrangement, it beautifully conveys the poignant world of the lyrics and the magnitude of emotion.

Like the final chapter of a story, it depicts the complex feelings that arise after the end of a romance.

For those who have just gone through a breakup or have experienced losing someone precious, it will be a song that resonates deeply.

The song “Give Me the Courage to Let Go of the Happiness I Wanted So Much” by Tota Kasamura gently envelops the bittersweet moment of heartbreak.

Its beautiful piano melody blends with stirring choral harmonies.

The lyrics delicately portray the sorrow of those who’ve experienced parting and the hope they hold for the future, leaving a deep impression on the listener’s heart.

Tota Kasamura’s musical world is so heartrending it makes you wish to meet again in the next life, and with each listen you may feel a growing sense of connection.

On a quiet night, spending time alone with this song might help you take a step toward a new beginning.

Hatsune Miku: The Noise of Rain (Original MV)

It’s a song whose piano sounds are pleasant to the ear.

The tempo is on the faster side, without any heavy or gloomy feel, making it very easy to listen to.

However, the lyrics are heartrending, and I think it’s the kind of song you’d want to listen to while walking without an umbrella on a day with sunshowers.

Although the word “heartbreak” isn’t used directly, it feels like a sorrowful song imbued with a pain that tears you apart.

It expresses the murky depths of the heart—the sentiment that without you, I have no meaning.

It’s a work by Nekobolo, also known under the name Sasanomaly, released in 2014.

This is a heartbreak song with the theme of a forbidden love.

Alluring and sensuous, the track leaves you with a sense of fulfillment, as if you’ve just watched a full musical.

It’s the kind of song that makes you wonder, “Does this story continue!?” and find yourself hoping for a sequel.

Released on Niconico in 2010.
