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 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.

Tear-Jerking Anime Song Ballads Special [Moving & Heart-Wrenching] (41–50)

Unchanging ThingsHanako Oku

Unchanging Things

Kawaranaimono by Okukhanako

The insert song from the 2006 animated film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is Kawaranai Mono, sung by Oku Hanako, an artist known for her poignant ballads.

This song expresses the wish to see someone you love, and if you’ve seen the movie, it likely brings to mind the two characters who part ways with aching sadness.

It matches the outcome of their romance perfectly.

The song is beautiful on its own as well, and I think it resonates with anyone who’s experienced a breakup or is in a long-distance relationship.

It’s a love ballad I’d recommend to anyone looking for an anime song that will move you to tears.

A Collection of Tear-Jerking Anime Ballads [Moving & Heartbreaking] (51–60)

Secret of my heartMai Kuraki

Mai Kuraki 'Secret of my heart'

Secret of my heart Mai Kuraki

It’s the ending theme of Detective Conan.

The theme is “a secret you can’t tell anyone.” It seems to be a song about the time when she couldn’t confess to her friends that she was Mai Kuraki, but I also think it’s a love song.

You can feel the protagonist’s emotions—afraid of ruining the current relationship and unable to put it into words.

Teru's SongAoi Teshima

Teru's Song [Tales from Earthsea] (’06-07-28)

Teru's Song Teshima Aoi

This is an insert song from the Studio Ghibli film Tales from Earthsea.

It was released in 2006 as Aoi Teshima’s debut single.

It’s a simple piece with vocals and piano, and as you listen, it leaves you with a feeling of loneliness.

I’m not sure whether it’s Teshima’s voice or the piano’s tone that makes you feel that way.

And yet, when I’m feeling down and listen to this song, it somehow heals me.

I think there are very few songs like this.
