EXILE’s Tearjerker Songs, Cry-Your-Eyes-Out Tracks, and Popular Hits Ranking [2026]

LAST CHRISTMASEXILE8rank/position

“Last Christmas,” Wham!’s signature song and a staple of Western Christmas music, is a classic that has been covered by artists around the world—and EXILE also covered it in 2008.

Their version features newly written Japanese lyrics, showcasing the sweet vocals of ATSUSHI and TAKAHIRO in a way you can really savor.

Both the original and EXILE’s cover have a sparkling, festive Christmas sound, yet the lyrics tell a poignant story of a past love.

The contrast between the bright melody and the bittersweet words actually serves to heighten the song’s sense of melancholy.

A heartwarming ballad by EXILE themed around a promise to meet again.

Created as the final work featuring ATSUSHI and TAKAHIRO as the duo on vocals, who have long led the group, the song’s lyrics were written by ATSUSHI.

It is filled with unwavering bonds that remain strong even when apart and a firm hope for the future.

Played at important milestones like graduation ceremonies or farewell gatherings to express gratitude, it will surely envelop the entire venue in a warm, moving atmosphere.

Happy BirthdayEXILE10rank/position

This song “Happy Birthday,” included on EXILE’s fourth album ASIA released in 2006, sounds at first like a track where a boyfriend celebrates his girlfriend’s birthday and expresses his everyday gratitude.

But if you listen closely, that’s not quite it.

It’s actually a bittersweet love song to a girlfriend who’s no longer here—someone he’s broken up with.

Even if you can’t deliver the words of celebration, is there someone you still want to celebrate?
