Songlinekururi
There are probably many people who say, “Music that tries to make you cry actually stops me from crying.” If that’s you, try listening to Quruli.
Their music is relaxed in the best way, and it gently loosens the tension in your heart.
Once you’re in your twenties, you start to appreciate that kind of music more and more, don’t you?
Be happy, okay?matsumura kanau
Kana’u Matsumura, who has been gaining attention after posting a singing video on TikTok, is in the spotlight.
The heartbreak song he’s known for—one that listeners say moves them to tears—is “You’re Going to Be Happy.” The first half of the song reflects on memories with a former lover from a male perspective, while the latter half expresses wishes for the ex’s future happiness.
It’s a bittersweet and sorrowful piece, yet its appeal lies in the hopeful feeling woven into it.
Although it’s sung mostly in a high tone, the slow tempo should make it easy to sing.
Love songSambomasutā
Many men in Japan have probably shed tears over this song after a breakup.
It’s a classic breakup song and also one of the greats.
A tear-jerking ballad with lyrics that pierce the heart, it’s highly recommended for men who’ve gone through heartbreak.

even ifHirai Ken
It’s Ken Hirai’s 11th single, released in 2000.
It’s a kind of heartbreak song, but it’s about a man’s desperate feelings as he tries to somehow keep a woman—who isn’t interested in him—by his side.
I think there are quite a lot of men who’ve been through something like this, you know.
LemonYonezu Kenshi
When you’ve lived for over 20 years, you start to experience more breakups with partners and the deaths of people close to you.
In times like that, I want you to listen to Kenshi Yonezu’s “Lemon.” It’s a ballad themed around parting, and as you listen, tears naturally begin to fall.
Eine KleineYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu is selling with extraordinary momentum.
He has quite a few tear-jerking songs, and “Eine Kleine” is one of them.
It’s a love song likely sung from a woman’s perspective, but depending on the listener, it might also sound like it’s from a man.
The build-up toward the chorus loosens the tear ducts!
MARCHAme no Parēdo
As the title suggests, it’s a song for March.
The lyrics are filled with spring farewells, the encounters that lie ahead, and the dilemma of not wanting to grow up.
It’s a song that tightens your chest with emotions that only arise when you’re young and the difficulty of facing them.
