Tearjerker Songs Recommended for Women (41–50)
rougehorie atsushi
This is the second single by Jun Horie, whose debut song Memory Glass was a big hit.
Like its predecessor, it’s a heartrending track that sings of heartbreak from a woman’s perspective.
The relaxed tempo and melody are tinged with melancholy, and the lyrics—playing on rouge and lost love with the line, “At the very least, let me dress my memories in beautiful makeup”—are truly moving.
Baby Don’t CryAmuro Namie
Namie Amuro’s “Baby Don’t Cry” is one of those timeless songs whose appeal doesn’t fade with the years—it really resonates with the heart! While it carries a touch of poignancy, it also delivers an uplifting message, making it a true “anthem for those who keep moving forward.” Among her songs, this one is relatively easy to sing, and its melody is so catchy you can’t help but hum along after just one listen.
Also, if you bring extra emotion into the key-change section, it can create an even more moving effect.
When you’re feeling down, belt it out at karaoke—sometimes with friends, sometimes on your own—and let it lift your spirits!
Goodbye, my beloved.Hana＊Hana
A hit by Hana*Hana that was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Oyaji.” It’s said that Izumi Kojima wrote it as a dedication to her grandfather, who passed away when she was young, and as the title suggests, it’s a song about parting (by death) from someone you love.
Its straightforward lyrics and beautiful melody are so moving they can bring you to tears.
tear(s)FUNKY MONKEY BABYS
This song was used as the 2010 campaign song for U-Can, and Shihori Kanjiya—who also appears on the CD jacket—stars in the music video.
The lyrics encourage the protagonist who lives alone, away from someone important, and the video follows that theme.
The MV is truly moving, so it’s a song I’d love modern working women to listen to.
Cry Day…Ms. OOJA
A song by Ms.OOJA released in 2011 about breaking up with a lover.
The reality of a breakup is revealed to someone who had envisioned a happy future.
Thinking of the lover who’s growing distant, the lyric “I thought we’d be together someday” is heartbreaking.
