The Sorry Song: Make-Up Songs (41–50)
And then I’m at a lossHanaregumi
Why is Hanaregumi’s singing voice so heartbreakingly tender? He’s an excellent singer, yet he doesn’t rely on flashy techniques; he sings straightforwardly, sometimes charmingly, and I can’t help but listen closely.
He gently sings about you no longer being by my side.
KindnessFuji Kaze
This is a song by Fujii Kaze that delicately portrays the confusion and complex feelings that arise when touched by someone else’s kindness.
Even while being enveloped in a warm gaze, you can’t help but feel your own immaturity and weakness.
That emotional wavering is depicted alongside gentle piano melodies.
Released in April 2020 and included on the album “HELP EVER HURT NEVER,” the track was also used in a TV commercial for NatureLab’s Laundrin.
It’s a song to listen to when you can’t be honest about your feelings or when you’re struggling with a relationship with someone important.
A heartwarming ballad that helps you realize the true value of kindness.
Boy and Girl Love SongKiyoshi Ryujin
There are tons of cute girls in this world—really, that’s true.
Sometimes that can be encouraging, and other times it only highlights the words “it has to be you.” Kiyoshi Ryujin’s way of singing tears at my chest.
Face the changeEvery Little Thing
Among ELT’s songs, this one is on the heavier side.
The guitar riff is exceptionally cool.
It portrays a cool woman in the lyrics.
That said, the depiction of the couple’s dynamics not going so well is kind of amusing.
It makes you think the boyfriend has a lot bottled up, too.
By the way, it really gets the crowd going when you hear it live.
Sorry.Midorikawa Shobō
This song has the background of a father apologizing to his own son, told from the father’s perspective.
It’s sung almost like a narrated story, and as the song progresses, glimpses of that story come into view—very characteristic of Midorikawa Shobō’s style, I think.
The way it leaves you feeling as if you’ve just watched a whole movie after listening is particularly wonderful.
Woman, sorry.Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi
I think Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi ranks among the top ten most masculine men in Japan.
I used to think, “Even Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi apologizes to women, huh,” but actually that makes him even more manly.
The way he casually, almost playfully apologizes fits perfectly with the cool image Japanese men aspire to.
Among Nagabuchi’s songs, I think this is an easy-to-listen-to, upbeat number.
SorryKawashima Ai
I was once again reminded how great it is when a woman sings a heartbreak song from a man’s perspective.
The male figure portrayed in the song is somewhat embellished and not very realistic, which ironically works in its favor.
I think it’s a song that only a woman can sing.
The wistful way it ends in the outro, leaving you a little sad, also makes it a wonderful track.
