DOLLSJanne Da Arc
When I first listened to DOLLS, I imagined a woman who had been dumped, clinging on.
But since it’s based on vocalist yasu’s real experience, I was moved to realize that men, too, honestly express their fear of being alone and their desire not to lose someone like this.
PretenderOfisharu Higedan Dism
This is one of Official HIGE DANDism’s signature ballads, sung over a dramatic melody about the end of a heartrending love.
The protagonist deeply loves the other person yet realizes they are not meant to be, and their inner struggle is heartbreaking.
Holding an impossible wish—if only in another timeline—and ultimately stepping back while praising the other’s beauty, the lyrics are impossible to hear without tears.
Released as a single in May 2019, it became widely known as the theme song for the film “The Confidence Man JP.” Pouring your feelings into it at karaoke will surely lighten the burden on your heart.
A song that heals the pain of heartbreak and helps you gradually look forward, this masterpiece gently stays by your side in the season of farewells.
DestinyKato Miria
These are lyrics that anyone who has ever experienced an unrequited love can relate to.
It’s a heartrending song that conveys the pain with raw sincerity: you simply fall for someone with pure, straightforward feelings and just want them to look your way, but your feelings don’t reach them.
me me sheRADWIMPS
A ballad by the rock band RADWIMPS whose aching melody and candid lyrics pierce the heart.
The title is read as “Memeshii,” and it portrays a complex state of mind where lingering attachment to an ex and a self-centered kind of love are intertwined.
Many listeners will likely relate to the contradictory feelings of acknowledging one’s own weakness as “memeshii” while still wishing happiness for the other person.
Included on the classic 2006 album RADWIMPS 4 ~Okazu no Gohan~, it’s not a single, yet it has remained beloved for years.
When you want to let your overflowing emotions out through song, or sink fully into the pain of heartbreak at night, try singing it at karaoke—you might find your heart feels a little lighter.
Prisoner of LoveUtada Hikaru
I think it’s a famous song since it was also the theme for a drama, and it matches the show perfectly.
Even now, listening to it still brings me to tears.
When you meet someone precious, you can become strong no matter what awaits you—that image really moves me deeply.
Give me a gentle kiss.DREAMS COME TRUE
It’s a short piece of about three minutes, but it’s packed tightly with a range of emotions.
It makes you once again feel how precious it is to fall in love with someone and to spend time with that person, and at the same time it’s sorrowful and heart-wrenching.
One more time,One more ChanceYamazaki Masayoshi
It’s a well-known classic, but no matter when or how many times I listen to it, it fills me with a pure feeling and moves me.
It’s a song that brings me to tears whether I’m singing or listening, because it makes me imagine suddenly losing someone dear—not just a romantic partner, but family or friends—in the midst of everyday life.
