Ballads That Always Make You Cry at Karaoke (21–30)
I want to see you.yuzu
The song is based on real-life experiences, and regardless of the relationship with the other person, you can relate to the sadness of losing someone important and the heartfelt wish to see them again.
It’s moving when you project your own feelings onto it, but in the end, I like how it still feels like Yuzu—showing a positive, determined attitude.
Prisoner of LoveHikaru Utada
I think it’s a famous song since it was also the theme for a drama, and it matches the show perfectly.
Even now, listening to it still brings me to tears.
When you meet someone precious, you can become strong no matter what awaits you—that image really moves me deeply.

See you tomorrow…JUJU
JUJU is often associated with breakup songs, but this one was also used as a TV drama’s theme song and is considered a song about parting with family.
It lets you feel anew both the pain of losing someone dear and the blessing of being able to say something as ordinary as “See you tomorrow.”
Stay by my sideMao Abe
I can really relate to and feel close to the image of someone still struggling, unable to let go of a finished love.
She can come across as heavy and dark, but because the lyrics capture everyday life, I think many people can see themselves in them, so it’s a song that makes me tear up when it comes on at karaoke.
It hurts.Ryuji Kiyoshi
This song is hard to put into words, but even when someone is right by your side they feel far away; you want to know, yet you can’t ask—and it’s a deeply heartrending, tear-inducing song.
If you’ve ever loved someone, I think there are times you’ll end up feeling jealous like this and selfishly suffering because of it.
with all one's mightindigo la End
It’s the band led by Enon Kawatani, who’s also the vocalist of Gesu no Kiwami Otome, and I was shocked when I heard this song.
The distinctive melody and lyrics are striking.
The more flaws there are, the more I can come to love it—melancholic, yet filled with tenderness.
dizzinessChihiro Onitsuka
Chihiro Onitsuka’s powerful vocals perfectly match the somewhat fragile lyrics.
They’re not necessarily straightforward or easy to relate to, but I think this is exactly the power of an artist—a wonderful song that somehow makes you cry when you listen to it, even without feeling direct empathy.
