Sorry Song: Make-Up Songs (21–30)
Dear My BooMirei Touyama
How about a pure love song that sings, “No matter what happens, I never want to be apart from you”? It’s a track by Mirei Toyama, a singer-songwriter who also shines as a dancer.
Released in 2018 as her fourth single, it’s an answer song to Shota Shimizu’s “My Boo.” The lyrics, filled with pure feelings, will make your heart flutter.
If you’re in the middle of a fight with your partner, you may have a lot on your mind, but instead of being stubborn, try expressing yourself honestly—just like in this song.
March 9Remioromen
When it comes to graduation songs, Remioromen’s “March 9th” has practically become the definitive one.
It’s the kind of song that brings back a flood of all the “sorrys” and “thank-yous” from your school days.
Maki Horikita, who appears in the music video, looks a bit young and is absolutely adorable.
Sorry, tears.Tahara Toshihiko
“Gomen yo Namida” by Toshihiko Tahara is a song that expresses the guilt of someone who broke up with their lover for the sake of their dream.
Released in 1989, it was used as the theme song for the drama “Kyoshi Binbin Monogatari II,” in which Tahara starred.
Set to a quintessentially 80s, danceable melody characteristic of Tahara, it tells the story of a bittersweet breakup between a man and a woman.
Though he truly loves her, he leaves for his dream…
Those who’ve had a similar experience may find it especially moving.

It’s a song that makes your heart ache.
When you fall in love, you think about the other person like a fool, you become blind to everything around you like a fool, and you make lots of mistakes.
Even so, love is wonderful, and you can’t stop yourself from falling in love.
I think it’s a song that helps you remember those feelings.
OrangeSMAP
I was surprised that the word “goodbye” could sound this heartbreaking.
I’ve never said “goodbye” for someone else’s sake, but I could feel that deep emotion, and it made my chest ache.
It’s an eternal classic.
Sea and Bouquetkinoko teikoku
The powerful performance and clear, piercing vocals are exquisite.
It’s not just a band with a cute vocalist—the songs themselves are excellent.
The guitar tones are so intricate you’d think they were crafted by an older, seasoned player.
Their individuality as a band—drawing from alt-rock and shoegaze—is tightly packed into their sound.
SEAMOMata aimashou
It’s such a heartbreaking song.
Expressing your feelings honestly to someone seems easy, but it’s actually hard.
I’m always putting on a brave face or overthinking things, and it never goes well…
Listening to this song made me feel like I should keep looking forward.
