Ranking of Melancholic Songs and Popular Tracks by Japanese Male Singers [2026] (91–100)

I can’t say it.Gō Hiromi99rank/position

Hiromi Go’s ‘Ienai yo’ is the second work in his Ballad Trilogy.

As is true for the whole trilogy, it portrays a man’s feelings in love, and this song expresses the pure-heartedness of a man who can’t bring himself to say ‘I love you.’ It also won the 27th Japan Cable Music Award and became a long-running hit.

Too Dear (duet with Tiara)KG100rank/position

The feelings poured into an unattainable love make my chest ache, but the sweet, mature vocals bring me peace.

It’s a song by KG, the solo project of singer-songwriter Koh.

It was released in 2010 as the second single.
