Soshina – Haru Bara Pare

A song by Soshina that frankly expresses his feelings for his father.

The deep love for the father who passed away when he was 17 is profoundly moving.

The sorrow so great it makes you question the existence of God, and the frustration of losing someone precious…

It carries a powerful message that grips the listener’s heart and won’t let go.

It is included on the album “Seisai to Taigi no Aria,” released in April 2024.

FocusriteMAN WITH A MISSION

MAN WITH A MISSION "Focus Light"

I feel MAN WITH A MISSION’s strength as artists in the way they turn a sad theme into music that transcends the sadness.

The lyrics are full of hope and salvation—about moving forward with the teachings left behind by someone you parted from or who has passed away.

Though it’s sad, the hard-driving rock that refuses to lean on sentimentality gives me courage.

Tears Flowing EndlesslyNatsukawa Rimi

Tears Flowing Endlessly – Rimi Natsukawa (Full)

“Nada Sōsō” is a dialect expression that describes tears falling in streams.

It’s said that lyricist Ryoko Moriyama wrote it while thinking of her older brother, who passed away at a young age.

In the lyrics, however, there is also a line that says, “I believe we will meet again someday,” and that sentiment makes the tears flow all the more.

These are tears shed for someone you cannot meet—sad, yet beautiful tears.

Ko Shibasaki – Something That Has Form

A hit number by Kou Shibasaki, who is active not only as an actress but also as a singer.

The lyrics, which convey turning a breakup and separation into strength while thinking of the person you parted from, resonate with aching poignancy.

There’s no word that explicitly indicates bereavement, yet it somehow evokes the image of someone you’ll never meet again.

A gently recommended song for times when you want to linger in your sadness.

Tokyo Jihen – Sunset

A song that sings of the sorrow of losing someone precious.

Tokyo Incidents and Ringo Sheena usually shake listeners with a terrifying intensity, but this track maintains a calm tone from start to finish.

There are no explicit lyrics like “someone died” or “they’re gone,” yet the entire piece carries an atmosphere steeped in a sense of loss.
