Sorry Song: Make-Up Songs (21–30)
Loverssumika
This is a bittersweet song by sumika that resonates with anyone who has ever struggled in a romantic relationship.
It carries the wish to grant the other person freedom and to be chosen from among many options.
Though the lyrics may sound as if they condone cheating or looking elsewhere, they actually hold a deeper message: by knowing other possibilities, both people can reaffirm the importance of each other’s presence.
Released in March 2016 as a double A-side single, the track was also used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Heart-throbbing Skatto” segment on the show “Pleasant TV: Skatto Japan.” It’s a song you should listen to when you want to take a step back and reexamine your relationship, or when you feel the desire to deepen your bond with someone important.
After a fighttsuruno takeshi
It’s a very cute song.
Sometimes after a fight, you suddenly find yourself able to be honest, right? I think it would be lovely if you could make up with a little “kiss on the cheek” to this song.
It’s the kind of song that makes you want to sing along with kids and gives you energy.

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.
At the End of SorrowElefanto Kashimashi
Your masculine singing style is really wonderful.
I want to live in a way that lets me shout that the people I care about are precious to me.
Everyone experiences sadness, and maybe it isn’t anyone’s fault, but I want to cherish the importance of the time I can spend with the people who matter to me.
Just… I miss youEXILE
Both the melody and the vocals are truly heartrending, and listening to them almost brings me to tears.
Even if you end up hurting the one you love, deep down you really just “want to see them.” Thinking of the person I broke up with, I whispered sorry and thank you in my heart.
Sorry, I guess I do love you after all.Yoshida Yamada
It’s a super heart-fluttering youth love song.
It brings back those sweet and sour memories I’d almost forgotten.
As a two-piece singer-songwriter unit, the way the two vocalists trade lines is exquisite.
The section where they harmonize in the B-melody is especially beautiful—I can’t help but get absorbed in listening.
Love, Day After TomorrowKuraki Mai
This is a song that symbolizes Mai Kuraki in the 2000s.
It has a slightly American vibe and sounds really cool.
Although the depiction of apologizing appears only once in an email within the song, the feeling of saying sorry comes through throughout.
Still, it’s an upbeat track that makes you feel like, “Tomorrow for sure!”
