Song of Apology. Make-Up Song

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!

The Sorry Song: Make-Up Songs (41–50)

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.

Apology Song. Make-up Song (51–60)

Cry and cry and, once you stop crying,B’z

B’z Cry and Cry and When the Tears Stop (SHOWCASE ver)
Cry and cry and, once you stop crying,B'z

Among B’z’s songs, this was one I hadn’t really listened to before, but the first time I heard it I fell in love with it.

Sometimes, after I cry to my heart’s content, a sudden burst of energy wells up.

It’s a song that makes you want to cry without embarrassment and then face forward again.

Love me, Love youMrs. GREEN APPLE

A pop tune by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE that portrays the many forms of love found around the world, set to a bright, upbeat melody.

With the feel of a musical-style show, it reminds us that all kinds of love— from the everyday life of lovers to family bonds and friendships—shine all around us.

Released in February 2018 and included on the album ENSEMBLE, the song was later chosen as the theme for the drama Onzoshi Boys starring Yuna Taira.

Even if you’ve had a fight with your partner, listening to this track will help you remember the warmth of love and face each other with honesty.

It’s a recommended song for anyone who wants to cherish their encounter with their partner and build a better relationship.

This is a delicate and expressive song by tuki., likening the subtle distance and emotional nuances between lovers to a seesaw.

It depicts the frustrating scenes of love where, when you try to get closer to the one you care about, they drift away, and when you keep your distance, they come closer.

Everyone can relate to the repeated ups and downs as their feelings fail to align.

Included on the album “15,” this track appears alongside “Moon Landing Project,” which was featured in a Suzuki Solio Bandit commercial.

It’s a recommended song for those troubled by missed connections with a partner or uncertain about how close to be.

Reconciliation Cream Puff=LOVE

=LOVE (Equal Love) / 17th Single c/w 'Make-Up Cream Puff' [MV full]
Reconciliation Cream Puff=LOVE

A song by =LOVE that portrays the aftermath of a lovers’ quarrel—wracked by regret, reflection, and self-reproach, and weighed down by anxiety.

Set to a melodious pop tune, it captures the wavering between “Is it their fault? Is it mine?” and a heartfelt wish to make up.

Released on July 31, 2024 as a coupling track to the single “Zettai Idol Yamenai de,” the lyrics were written by producer Rino Sashihara, with Hitomi Takamatsu and Iori Noguchi serving as double centers.

This sweet yet bittersweet story resonates with anyone struggling in a precious relationship where they can’t quite speak their true feelings to the one they love.

The worldbuilding is fantastic.

If you’re into a dark atmosphere and self-destructive lyrics, this will really hit home.

The accompaniment has a duality of delicate and intense parts, and the vocal lines are so beautiful you can’t help but be captivated.

It’s easy to listen to and recommended even for those who aren’t very familiar with visual kei.

Youth, Say A-HAMōningu Musume. ’17

Youth, Say A-HAMōningu Musume. ’17

While current idols like AKB have a pure, innocent image, Morning Musume.

’17 gives off a distinctly sexy vibe.

The way they express apology feels like that of mature women.

Also, the vocal melody in the chorus is catchy and interesting.

Although many people still associate Morning Musume with their old image, this song makes you realize that their current style really works too.
