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.

Diamond Crevasse Sheryl Nome starring May'n

“Diamond Crevasse,” the first ending theme of Macross Frontier and a song also used within the series.

Among the songs sung by Sheryl, it’s especially popular, so many anime fans likely remember it.

It’s a very beautiful ballad that conjures up Sheryl’s dignified figure.

Since it also played during the scene where Michael was killed in action, it may remind many people of his final moments.

It’s a highly recommended number that I’d love people unfamiliar with Macross Frontier to hear as well.

I fell in love with Aiko.

This song by aiko is a memorable piece that beautifully portrays the sadness and joy of love.

It’s a ballad centered on piano and strings, featuring a delicate melody line and lyrics that depict romance from a woman’s perspective.

Aiko herself is a fan of the original work and created the song to align with the film’s worldview.

It will resonate not only with those in love, but even more so when listened to after watching the movie.

This moving work is likely to remain beloved alongside the film for a long time.

Because of lovemu to

“Mu『For Love』Music Video”

Out of love

The deep sound of the piano feels like it sinks all the way into your heart.

It’s a song by singer Muto, released in January 2024, and it was used as the ending theme for the anime “A Sign of Affection.” It’s a ballad with a dreamy atmosphere that calms you as you listen.

However, the lyrics describe a heartbreaking scene of staying close to someone as they cry beside you, which tightens your chest.

I recommend it to anyone who wants to cherish the time spent with the one they love.

A beautiful ballad that stirs the hearts of anime fans.
