Touching Anime Ballads That Make You Cry [Moving & Heart-Wrenching]

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Let You DownDawid Podsiadło

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Ending Theme | Dawid Podsiadło — Let You Down | Netflix

Let You DownDawid Podsiadło

“Let You Down,” featured as the ending theme for Netflix’s anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, is a song by Polish singer-songwriter Dawid Podsiadło, the winner of X Factor’s second season.

Rather than a ballad, it stands out for its calmly unfolding, ennui-tinged mood.

It also carries that distinctly Western aura and a touch of mystery.

The lyrics mourn the sorrow of disappointing a loved one, poignantly echoing David’s way of life and inner feelings.

You’re enveloped in deep emotion right up to the very last moment.
