Tearful ChristmasMakihara Noriyuki3rank/position

If you’re looking for a Christmas song that’s heartbreakingly moving and sure to bring tears, this is the one.

Noriyuki Makihara’s “Namida no Christmas” is a song that portrays the feelings of a man who got his heart broken just before Christmas.

The lyrics begin with him spotting his ex-girlfriend in town on Christmas Day, spending time with her new boyfriend.

The cheerful, happy atmosphere of Christmas contrasts sharply with the protagonist’s lingering feelings for his ex, creating a resonance that sinks deep into your heart.

The emotional saxophone that appears in the interlude and toward the end of the track seems to mirror his inner state.
