Ballads that will definitely make you cry at karaoke (41–50)

wedgeHanako Oku

Wedge -Kusabi- / Hanako Oku (Short ver.)
Kusabi Okuhanako

The unusual title, “Wedge,” first caught my attention, but what really struck me was the sorrowful way it conveys a woman’s feelings—wanting to stay close to the person she loves until the very end, even when she can already see the end coming.

Oku Hanako’s fragile, delicate voice makes the song feel all the more heartrending.

Even though this song speaks in a straightforward, guy’s perspective—the kind of words he’d actually say—it moved me, even without being familiar with it.

There’s no point regretting after a breakup, and all you can really do is wish them happiness, but that direct feeling of “I still loved you” still hits me hard.

loveraiko

aiko - 'Lover' (from Live Blu-ray/DVD 'ROCKS')
Lover aiko

It’s a song that starts with a question right from the beginning and makes you go, “I know exactly how that feels!!” aiko is great at love songs, and in this track she captures that delicate feminine feeling: even when you love someone so much that, at the moment of parting, you feel like being sarcastic, you still wish them happiness.

I used to think of them as having lots of pep talks and upbeat songs, but every FUNKY MONKEY BABYS track paints such vivid scenes.

This song too feels like it’s putting someone’s memories into words—everyday life and ordinary love—and it hurts every time I listen to it.

A gentle feelingChara

Gentle Heart Chara

Rather than being about pain and tears, this song moves me with the simple, everyday happiness of being able to love someone like this and be by their side.

The singing voice is unique and sweet, but above all, it’s just full of “I love it!! I’m so happy to be together!!” Those feelings spill out to the forefront, making it a very pleasant piece.

A gentle lieAcid Black Cherry

It evokes the beginning and end of a relationship, and I think many men will relate because her specific traits and lines feel so real.

It may be too late to realize it after losing her, but this is a song I recommend for those times when you want to cry just for today so you can face forward.

These tears I do not knowRina Katahira

Rina Katahira, Who Doesn’t Know These Tears

It’s a very heartrending song about a woman who, despite always being close by, feels distant—she’s sad and in pain, yet can never put it into words.

Beyond the lyrics themselves, unlike her other songs, Rina Katahira’s thin, delicate voice makes this one feel all the more fragile.
