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.

Kobukuro’s 10th single was released in October 2004.

The song stayed on the Oricon charts for 99 weeks.
It has continued to resonate with many people, even being performed at the wedding reception of Tomonori Jinnai and Norika Fujiwara.
When you want to feel the bond with someone special, give it a listen.

It’s a song by a guy who’s really pathetically tearful, so go ahead and have a good cry.
You can try singing it while sobbing, or just let all your feelings out.
If you do, I’m sure you’ll feel refreshed tomorrow.

single bedSha ran Q
A hit song by Sharam Q that brings back Tsunku’s familiar voice.
It’s a medium-tempo ballad that many people love—so much so that plenty of men used to sing it at karaoke and end up in tears.
Even though it’s a heartbreak song, for some reason it always fired up the karaoke crowd.
KanadeSukima Suichi
There are times when people break up because they’re thinking of the other person’s happiness.
Is that kindness? Or was something missing? It depends on what happens afterward, but from a woman’s perspective, she probably hopes it was a great act of kindness—it’s heartbreaking.
Still, a decision has to be made.
This is the kind of song you’d want to listen to when you feel like crying as a man.
Until you become a memorysupittsu
There are painful farewells, too.
How much time will it take until the other person becomes just a memory? About a year, perhaps? Or there may be people who change in just a week.
It’s heartbreaking, but in life there are many things we simply have to get through.

Graduation season.
For boys, isn’t the place they cry the most at school? No matter the era, parting with classmates you spent your days with is truly heartbreaking.
But learning to take that as a stepping stone and move forward is part of the lesson, too.
If you keep crying forever, you can’t move ahead, can you?
The Last RainYasushi Nakanishi
Do you think someone shouting about love looks cool? Most people probably don’t.
But if someone told me they loved me while getting drenched in the rain, I’d be a goner.
With that in mind, why not try confessing your feelings during the rainy season?
