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.

Even when we’re struggling and hitting a wall, let’s keep facing forward and push ahead—there are friends around us who support one another.

I’m encouraged by lyrics that carry that message.

Sung by Asami Imai, who played Chihaya Kisaragi, one of the characters from The Idolmaster, it’s a ballad, but it leaves a strong, impactful impression.

LiSA 'Shirushi - MUSIC CLIP short ver. -'

This song served as the ending theme for the anime Sword Art Online II, and she has worked on other songs for the Sword Art Online series as well.

While LiSA is often associated with a strong, rock-oriented image, this track is a supple rock ballad that differs from that impression.

The beauty of her soaring high notes in the chorus is sure to move your heart.

The composer is Kayoko Kusano, who also worked on her signature hit Gurenge, so it’s no surprise that the melody of this song is outstanding.

Chiisana Te no Hira was originally the ending theme of the game CLANNAD, but it was also used in the anime.

It’s an indispensable song that elevates the story of the protagonist who has lost his dearest loved one and his daughter, who remains as a memento of that love.

It’s a ballad that conveys both sorrow and strength.

Nagi-Asu: A Lull in the Sea ED Full 'Aquaterrarium' mp4

aquaterrariumyanaginagi

It was used in the anime Nagi-Asu: A Lull in the Sea.

This anime is a profound and warm story depicting the disconnect between the people who live under the sea and those who can only live on land.

You can feel that atmosphere in the song as well, so I recommend experiencing the song together with the anime.
