On the bridgeMagokoro Burazāzu
The 24th single released in 2001.
Along with “Ryūsei / Distant Summer” and “This Love Hasn’t Even Begun,” it’s known as one of the “Farewell Song Trilogy,” a set of heartbreak songs.
Sometimes adults break up not because of simple reasons like liking or disliking each other.
This track overflows with a sense of helplessness.
It’ll make you cry—highly recommended!
Tear-jerking songs recommended for women in their 30s: Masterpieces of Japanese music that resonate with the heart (51–60)
platformSalyu
Her signature ballad draws you in with overwhelming vocal power and expressiveness.
It makes you suddenly recall the many things you’ve passed through, reconsider your own behavior, and picture the faces of the people you met and then parted from.
It’s a song that resonates especially with those who’ve accumulated their share of history.
Why not take some time now and then to sink into deep reflection?
Letter Paper SongKuramubon
A three-piece band with piano and vocals by Ikuko Harada, bass by Mito, and drums by Daisuke Ito.
Feeling worn out lately? Feel like you just want to cry…? This is exactly the kind of song you should listen to now! The conversational singing and gentle band sound will softly wrap around your heart.
cowardTatetakako
A track from the 2005 release “Urakaisen.” Haven’t you ever doubted your own kindness, or been stunned by a glimpse of cruelty in the most unexpected place? Its gut-wrenching lyrics make it a very gentle and warm song.
Maybe I’m the only one who’s this awful…? No, no—perhaps, surprisingly, everyone’s the same.
The Toilet GodUemura Kana
A song included on the mini-album “Watashi no Kakeratachi,” released in 2010.
It’s a song about conversations with the singer’s grandmother while she was still alive.
It’s said to be based on real events from around third grade in elementary school up to about age 23.
This ordinary story of a grandmother—something everyone can relate to—can be overlaid onto one’s own someone, and it brings you to tears.
The accompaniment, which begins with a single acoustic guitar and gradually builds into a full band and orchestra by the end, highlights and expands the narrative words, deepening the sense of poignancy.
Best friendKiroro
Kiroro’s 10th single, released in 2001.
It’s a friendship song in which Tamashiro of Kiroro expresses gratitude to Kinjo, who always comforts her when she’s feeling down.
It’s a classic choice for people in their 30s to change the name in the chorus to their own best friend’s name and sing it at weddings.
If someone sang this at my wedding, I’d be in tears.
Even in 2018, it’s still known as a “song dedicated to a best friend.” It’s a wonderfully soothing, beautiful track.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced some moving songs we’d love women in their 30s to listen to.
Did you find a track that speaks to your heart? Life brings all sorts of experiences, but the tougher it gets, the more I hope you won’t blame yourself—let your feelings out honestly.
Sometimes a good cry can help you feel a little lighter.
