It’s a painfully honest story song that realistically portrays heartbreak.

Over more than six minutes, post-breakup emotions are carefully traced alongside the gentle tones of an acoustic guitar.

A pack of cigarettes left behind by an ex becomes the trigger for recalling the time they spent together, and looking back, only regret remains—such a bittersweet inner landscape is woven through Koresawa’s delicate vocals.

Released in March 2017, just before her major-label debut, this piece can be considered a culmination of her work.

It’s also included on the album “Korekara,” where it continues to be loved.

The melodious, straightforward lyrics are sure to resonate deeply with anyone who has experienced heartbreak.

On nights when you want to face your own feelings, try singing it at karaoke.

Ballads that always make you cry at karaoke (51–60)

A gentle lieAcid Black Cherry

It evokes the beginning and end of a relationship, and I think many men will relate because her specific traits and lines feel so real.

It may be too late to realize it after losing her, but this is a song I recommend for those times when you want to cry just for today so you can face forward.

Rather than being about pain and tears, this song moves me with the simple, everyday happiness of being able to love someone like this and be by their side.

The singing voice is unique and sweet, but above all, it’s just full of “I love it!! I’m so happy to be together!!” Those feelings spill out to the forefront, making it a very pleasant piece.

I used to think of them as having lots of pep talks and upbeat songs, but every FUNKY MONKEY BABYS track paints such vivid scenes.

This song too feels like it’s putting someone’s memories into words—everyday life and ordinary love—and it hurts every time I listen to it.

It’s a very heartrending song about a woman who, despite always being close by, feels distant—she’s sad and in pain, yet can never put it into words.

Beyond the lyrics themselves, unlike her other songs, Rina Katahira’s thin, delicate voice makes this one feel all the more fragile.
