Ballads are known for having many melodies and lyrics that really hit you in the heart.

Unlike in Japan, Western ballads feature a wide variety of melodies, so be sure to check them out.

The first half features famous classics, but the second half includes lesser-known yet incredibly tasteful tracks.
