Song of Apology. Make-Up Song

Keyboard playerSAKI
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!”

Arguments with family, friends, or a partner… Sometimes we hurt the people we care about most.

And in those moments, it can be really hard to just say “I’m sorry,” right?

Even when you truly want to apologize but can’t get the words out, we’ve gathered songs that express the feeling of wanting to say sorry.

From tracks that straightforwardly convey an apology to songs that express how much you cherish the other person by reaffirming your love, we’re introducing a wide range.

Let these songs give you the courage to apologize sincerely!

Song of Apology: Make-Up Song (61–70)

Golden Moon – Suga Shikao

I can’t get enough of Shikao Suga’s husky, languid singing style.

Since things don’t usually go as smoothly as a fairy tale, J-pop can sometimes sound like pretty words to me.

But Suga’s songs give me this strange feeling that even if you’re not a perfect person, it’s still okay.

The Power of Encounters IIIAAA

I can feel a powerful strength in the vocals.

Even among Japanese male idol groups, I think he’s a very skilled singer.

He apologizes for shedding tears, but that, too, feels like a man’s tears—very manly.

From the final chorus, the intensity is breathtaking, like watching a musical.

He looks cool even from a man’s perspective.

[Solo Performance] Make Me a Dog / Wasureranneyo

Make me a dog.wasureranneeyo

“Make me a dog” is quite a title.

The chorus line, “I want to become a dog and lick your tears,” isn’t just striking as a phrase—it feels like it expresses a really profound emotion.

It’s not some neat sentiment like “I’m fine just being by your side”; the choice to say “become a dog” is powerful, and I really like it.

Blown by the windMoritaka Chisato

This is a post-breakup song sung by Chisato Moritaka.

It’s an upbeat track about trying to move on cleanly after a breakup.

It has a mature, feminine vibe, and the desperate determination not to dwell on the past is just heart-fluttering.

The Showa-era atmosphere and the sound of a good bygone time make you feel like you can keep going when you listen to it.

In conclusion

I introduced a song about saying sorry that expresses the feeling of truly wanting to apologize—have you made up your mind to apologize? Sometimes whether you can say just that single word, “sorry,” can greatly change the relationship going forward.

All the more so if you care about the other person, try relying on the power of music and honestly say, “I’m sorry.”
