scale (as of a fish or reptile)Hata Motohiro
This is Motohiro Hata’s second single, released in 2007.
It’s a love song, but the lyrics convey feelings of love in a straightforward—almost overwhelmingly direct—way.
And in Hata’s case, it’s often his singing voice even more than the lyrics that loosens the tear ducts.
pure soulGLAY
The title track from GLAY’s 1998 album “pure soul.” By your late twenties, you’ve usually gotten used to working life, and it’s a time when various conflicts arise as you think about your future and where you stand.
This is a song I’d love people who feel lost to listen to.
I think many will find the lyrics relatable.
Close your eyesHirai Ken
This is one of Ken Hirai’s signature songs, showcasing his strength in ballads.
The lyrics express feelings for a beloved person, making it a stunning ballad that pierces the heart.
His unexpectedly high voice, contrary to his looks, is captivating, and the chorus melody is truly moving!
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.
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.
I wonder if I’d still say it’s too late.Saucy Dog
This is a Saucy Dog song that delicately portrays the bittersweet feelings after a heartbreak.
It conveys lingering attachment and regret toward a former lover, along with complex emotions about a new romance, resonating deeply with listeners.
Included on their 4th mini-album “Take Me,” it was released in September 2020.
The music video was directed by Ryoka Kumagai, and the members’ performances are striking.
With lyrics that anyone who has experienced heartbreak can relate to and a heartwarming melody, it’s especially appealing.
It might be nice to listen quietly alone and reflect on a past love.
It’s a song that lets you linger in your memories while giving you the courage to step into your next romance.
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!
