Sad songs I want to sing at karaoke (61–70)
OrangeSMAP
Among SMAP’s songs, “Orange” is often called a hidden gem.
Released in 2000 as the B-side to “Lion Heart,” it’s a coupling track that enjoys high popularity in fan-voted rankings.
It’s a classic ballad that carefully portrays a parting from a loved one—a heartrending love song.
Yet it still feels warm, perhaps because the lyrics end not with “goodbye” but with “thank you.” Covered by female artists such as miwa and loved by listeners of all genders, this song asks you to deliver its final words gently and memorably.
If you call it loveUru
It’s a moving song that sings of deep love and life’s renewal.
It portrays the value of learning from failure and growing, and it expresses the profound bond with a loved one.
Released in June 2022, it was used as the theme song for TBS’s Sunday drama “My Family.” Uru wrote and composed the song, with arrangement by Takeshi Kobayashi.
The work conveys changing relationships with others and the desire to rebuild them, singing about the process of realizing the importance of what was almost lost.
It’s perfect for those who want to sing their heart out at karaoke and shed some tears.
If you sing it with feeling, you’ll surely feel refreshed.
maybeYOASOBI
This song by YOASOBI, a unit known for creating music based on novels, has a different vibe from their previous tracks, doesn’t it? It’s a slow-tempo ballad with a remarkably soft sound, yet you can still clearly feel the groove—impressive as always! The lyrics depict the story of a couple who gradually grew apart and eventually broke up.
The words of the protagonist, who blames themselves, saying it was their fault, are heartbreakingly moving.
Good-bye daysYUI for Amaoto Kaoru
Good-bye Days is a signature song by YUI, a singer-songwriter from Fukuoka.
It was released as the theme song for the film Midnight Sun, which also marked her debut as an actress.
Both the film and the song became major hits: the film grossed over 1 billion yen, and the single sold more than 200,000 copies.
It’s a track that conveys the fragility of life and the preciousness of awkward, sincere love.
You’re sure to relate to the honest, straightforward lyrics.
Happy Endingback number
When it comes to tearjerkers at karaoke, breakup songs are a must! The one I want to introduce is this signature track by back number.
The lyrics are written from the perspective of a woman who still loves the man but ends up breaking up with him.
What makes this song truly moving and tear-inducing is the woman’s earnest, selfless behavior.
Even during the breakup conversation, she puts on a brave face and acts cheerful, and that facade brings a wave of heartache that’s sure to make you cry.
back number is a go-to artist for karaoke, and I think it’s a great choice for anyone, regardless of gender.
Highly recommended.
Is this loveglobe
Released in 1996.
The music video shot in Arizona was a hot topic at the time.
Unlike the other singles, it’s by no means a loud or intense track, but it’s the kind of song that can move you to tears as you listen… A perfect pick for when you want a quiet, cathartic cry.
I became someone else’s girlfriend.wacci
wacci, who became a hot topic after this song went viral mainly on social media.
As the title suggests, the song is written from the perspective of a woman who, after breaking up with her boyfriend, has started seeing someone new.
However, the protagonist is still hung up on her ex.
It’s a masterpiece that weaves those complicated feelings into the title and every corner of the lyrics.
The song resonated with many listeners, garnering a flood of empathetic responses.
The slightly husky tone of the vocals is striking, so it’s a track I’d especially love to hear men try singing.
