Touching Anime Ballads That Make You Cry [Moving & Heart-Wrenching]

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

I touched an angel!After School Tea Time

Tried performing K-On!'s 'Touched by an Angel!' with the band [Gestalt Collapse] [Anime Song] [Ho-kago Tea Time]

Touched by an Angel! Ho-kago Tea Time

“Touched by an Angel!” is the song used in the smash-hit anime K-ON!, which even turned into a social phenomenon.

Of course, it’s performed by Houkago Tea Time, the band that appears in the show.

As always, they sing with those irresistibly cute, heart-fluttering voices (lol).

This track was played in the final episode of K-ON! during the scene where they see off the graduating members.

For fans, it’s an unforgettable song! With its super catchy melody and lyrics, it’s easy to connect with.

Be sure to check it out!

WishMika Nakashima

Mika Nakashima “Wish” - Berserk: The Golden Age Arc Memorial Edition Special Movie -

Wish Mika Nakashima

Wish, the single Mika Nakashima released in November 2022.

The song was chosen as the ending theme for Berserk: The Golden Age Arc – Memorial Edition.

It’s a heartrending ballad brimming with the signature qualities that made her known for songs like STARS.

Its worldview resonates even more deeply with those familiar with the anime.

The earnestness of people fighting with their own feelings in their hearts pierces you.

Alongside her carefully woven vocals, it even gives you a fleeting sense of peace.

Diamond Crevasse / Sheryl Nome starring May’n [Anime Macross F ED]

Diamond Crevasse Sheryl Nome starring May'n

“Diamond Crevasse,” the first ending theme of Macross Frontier and a song also used within the series.

Among the songs sung by Sheryl, it’s especially popular, so many anime fans likely remember it.

It’s a very beautiful ballad that conjures up Sheryl’s dignified figure.

Since it also played during the scene where Michael was killed in action, it may remind many people of his final moments.

It’s a highly recommended number that I’d love people unfamiliar with Macross Frontier to hear as well.

Because of lovemu to

“Mu『For Love』Music Video”

Out of love

The deep sound of the piano feels like it sinks all the way into your heart.

It’s a song by singer Muto, released in January 2024, and it was used as the ending theme for the anime “A Sign of Affection.” It’s a ballad with a dreamy atmosphere that calms you as you listen.

However, the lyrics describe a heartbreaking scene of staying close to someone as they cry beside you, which tightens your chest.

I recommend it to anyone who wants to cherish the time spent with the one they love.

GarnetHanako Oku

Hanako Oku / Garnet (Solo Acoustic Performance)

Garnet Oku Hanako

It carries a message about cherishing the present moment.

It was the theme song for the film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and was released in 2006 as Hanako Oku’s fourth single.

The animation and the lyrics match extremely well, and I think they bring out the best in each other.

The opening theme of The Beast Player Erin.

The melody riding on a waltz rhythm feels wonderful.

The protagonist in the song, who grows stronger to protect someone precious, gives courage to the listener.

Please take your time and listen closely.
