This song expresses the helpless feelings of parting with someone precious and being engulfed in sorrow.
The vocalist’s bittersweet yet powerful voice and the piano melody are truly beautiful.
Listening to it right after being dumped or after a breakup makes it incredibly relatable and brings me to tears.

Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” is a worldwide classic and a karaoke staple that’s often sung on Japanese karaoke shows.

The soaring vocals unique to female singers and the breathtaking chorus move listeners of any generation.
Pillow TalkZAYN98rank/position
This is a song that can only be described as sexy.
If you can sing this, you’ll be one step closer to Zayn.
That’s the kind of song it is.
There are some high notes, but since it’s built from relatively short phrases, if you memorize the lyrics well and practice a few times, you should be able to sing it in no time.
Never Forget YouZara Larsson, MNEK99rank/position
A single by Swedish singer Zara Larsson that isn’t widely known in Japan yet.
The youthful collaboration between 18-year-old Zara and 21-year-old MNEK, combined with a distinctly 21st-century EDM sound, is sure to captivate young listeners.
StayZedd, Alessia Cara100rank/position
Among Zedd’s songs, “Stay” is one of the most well-known in Japan.
It has a very stylish vibe and seems perfect for an adult woman.
The vocal parts repeat a lot and there isn’t much to memorize, so it’s easy to sing.
