Cry Me A RiverJulie London
Here’s the fierce, heartbreak-fueled anthem that says, “You made me cry so much—now it’s your turn to cry a river”: Cry Me a River.
It was originally written as a song for a film, but it became a hit after Julie London covered it.
Among jazz tunes, this one has a touch that almost feels like Japanese enka.
Christmas★Bell ~ mens Side~Juliet
Juliet is a female unit that colored the “chaku-uta” era with their seasonal song series from “Haru Love” to “Fuyu Love.” Those in their late 20s may find them especially familiar! “Christmas★Bell ~Men’s Side~” is included on their first album, Love, released in 2009.
It’s a medium-tempo track depicting the first Christmas after a breakup from a male perspective, and those who’ve had a similar experience will likely find it deeply relatable.
The graceful melodies characteristic of Juliet blend with sentimental emotions to create a gentle ache—such a good song.
You’ll want to pour those bittersweet feelings into the rap part and sing it out with energy.
Christmas★Bell ~Men's Side~Juliet
Juliet was a female vocal duo, but unfortunately they disbanded at the end of 2018 while at the height of their popularity.
In addition to the Men’s Side of this song, there’s also a Girls’ Side, and I recommend women give that version a listen as well.
From a male perspective, it’s a Christmas spent alone… a Christmas that brings back memories of the girl you loved so much.
Why not listen while savoring that bittersweet feeling that everyone has experienced at least once—or at least imagined? It’s a highly recommended track.

A track from 2019 by KALMA packed with youthful memories.
This three-piece rock band from Hokkaido delivers a graduation song that shines with sweetness and poignancy.
The lyrics resonate as they weave together nostalgia for days gone by and hope for a new life.
Their passion—shaped by performing at the music festival JOIN ALIVE while still in high school—comes through in the song.
It’s sure to hype up any graduation ceremony or farewell party.
A must-listen for anyone facing a goodbye or taking a new step forward.
Let this song mark the beginning of the next chapter in your life.
I wish you would come (feat. Masamune Kusano from SPITZ)KREVA
A 2007 track featuring Masamune Kusano from Spitz.
Over a lonely-tinged beat, KREVA’s flow is steady yet suffused with humanity.
Not being able to see someone when you want to is really tough, isn’t it? “I wish you’d come to see me.
.
.” That feeling is captured in the co-written lyrics, and Kusano’s clear, transparent vocals amplify the bittersweet mood.
The contrast and interplay between the rap and the singing from the two artists pierce the heart.
It’s a song that stands by and supports various kinds of love—breakups, long-distance relationships, and more.

Craft feat. ZORNKREVA
How about amping yourself up by delivering some slick hip-hop with precision? It’s a collaboration between rappers KREVA and ZORN, included on KREVA’s ninth album, “LOOP END / LOOP START,” released in 2021.
The passionate flow is electrifying! And the lyrics—filled with a strong will to keep moving toward your dreams—are genuinely encouraging.
The vocal range should be approachable for most male singers.

A track where the commanding rap feels smooth and elevates the brilliance of word choices that pierce the heart.
While expressing frustration with the way the world is going, it also hints at a strong resolve taking shape within.
