A classic Japanese song that sings of a man's tears
Even men living in a society that demands excessive “masculinity” sometimes feel like crying out loud, don’t they? Patience may be a virtue, but doing it too much isn’t good.
We cry not only from sadness but also from joy, and shedding tears is a natural human trait we’re born with.

Masterpieces of Japanese songs that sing of a man's tears (21–30)
Sorrow Rides the Busmakaroni enpitsu
Set to melodies that gently stay close to the heart, this moving story by Macaroni Empitsu captures the shifting patterns of human emotion.
The lead track from their August 2023 album, “Otona no Namida” (“Tears of Adults”), delicately depicts the fleeting feelings found in farewells with family and in everyday life.
Hattori’s clear, transparent vocals and the softly unfolding melody resonate deep within the listener.
The song also drew attention for its music video directed by Yoshihito Mori, known for the Netflix film “We Couldn’t Become Adults.” Through the perspective of a protagonist played by Shota Sometani, it asks profound questions about the meaning of life and the preciousness of existence.
It’s a recommended track for those who want to empathize with feelings for loved ones or soothe the quiet emotions they carry inside.
homeKiyama Yusaku
A song from a father’s perspective by Yusaku Kiyama that weaves together the deep love of a parent cherishing their child and the joys of parenting, expressed through a gentle vocal and ballad melody.
It delivers to the heart, along with the warm tones of the piano, everyday moments shared with a child, a parent’s feelings as they watch their child grow, and messages to the child.
Released in February 2008 as his major-label debut on tearbridge records, it was chosen as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “UtaSta!!” and Yomiuri TV’s “Joho Live Miyane-ya.” In December of the same year, he performed at the 59th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
This is a song you’ll want to listen to during life’s important milestones—such as graduations and weddings—when you want to feel the bond between parent and child.
On the hill where the moon is visible tonightB’z
On nights when the moon is out, I really feel like crying.
It’s strange, because even when I’m not doing anything, I still feel like crying.
The romantic moon has a kind of power, so it feels like my heart is being controlled.
At times like that, it’s best to just cry your heart out.
Just… I want to see youEXILE
The phrase “I just want to see you” from a man makes my heart skip a beat.
If you truly want to see her, you should definitely go meet her.
If you do, you’ll probably be so happy you could cry.
If you’re just whining and crying, saying “I miss you,” she won’t follow you.
Beyond the Night SkySMAP
This is a soothing song that feels like it fills the hole left in your heart.
Everyone, at some point, faces setbacks, feels broken, and wants to cry.
In those moments, if you listen to this song, I think it might ease your heart a little.
It’s moving—like a medicine for wounds.
White BreathT.M.Revolution
In the freezing winter, even your face freezes, doesn’t it? Your face goes numb and tears start to come—truly a man’s tears.
When a wistful feeling hits at the same time as the sting in your face, it’s only natural that you might cry.
When that happens, I think it’s fine to just blame it all on the cold and have a good cry.
bouquetback number
Back Number has many songs that can make guys cry, but I felt that Hanataba portrays a somewhat old-fashioned image of a man.
Could a lovestruck guy win a girl’s heart with a bouquet? Surprisingly, it might work.
For better or worse, it’s the kind of thing that would move a man to tears.
