Gackt - Last Song

The Jesus & Mary Chain - Just Like Honey
Chihiro Onitsuka - Tiger In My Love Fiona Apple - Paper Bag And furthermore, pretty much everything by Iron & Wine (Lion's Mane, Each Coming Night, Faded From The Winter, etc.), a lot of stuff by Antony & The Johnsons (Hope There's Someone, Bird Gehrl) and the entirety of UA's Sun album. |

I surrender - Celine Dion
Memorial address - Ayumi Hamasaki Seki Rei - Gackt Le Ciel - Malice Mizer Infection - Onitsuka Chihiro More that I can't thin of right now. |
I think Moments (AOV) is really sad sounding :(
|
Memorial Address and Hanabi always make me sad.
Kingyo Hanabi by Ootsuka is always sad too, Cherish is up there on the sad ones, Planetarium too. "That feeling expanding inside , it's the feeling of you not being there" =o |

Dar Williams - When I Was A Boy
|
The first time I watched Utada Hikaru's Be My Last at Bokura no Ongaku I got all choked up and watery.....>.>
Also, I forgot to mention Bonnie Pink's Rope Dancer. I listened to it last night and almost cried.....hehe |
YUZU - 栄光の架橋(Eiko no Kakehashi)/The Bridge to Glory
This was the NHK/Japanese news theme for the Olympics of 2004. Its lyrics are very emotional. I guess they're hopeful yet about the turbulence/turmoil of young life. YUZU - 桜木町Sakuragi-chou/Sakuragi-Town This song is really near to me because I spend most of my time in Japan in Yokohama and this is one of my favourite places in the world. It's about the singer going to visit the place (Sakuragi-chou) where he and his girlfriend used to meet and his sentiments upon realizing that she will never be waiting to meet him there again. BUMP OF CHICKEN - 車輪の唄/Song of the Wheels This song REALLY gets to me. It's about a guy who is taking his good friend, who is a girl, to the train station because she is headed off to a far-away city he doesn't know well. And the tires of his bike and the wheels of the train seem to be crying out in sorrow. And he knows they'll never be the same again, but he has hope they'll meet again. BUMP OF CHICKEN - 天体観測 - Stargazing BUMP really has a knack for getting to me. This one, too, is about young and inexperienced kids unable to communicate their feelings. So the guy just stands there in the cold, unable to hold the girl he wants to tell about his feelings. Begin/Natsukawa Rimi - 涙そうそう/Nada Sousou This one, I really think everyone in Japan agrees with me on. All the old people seem to cry when they hear this one. I dunno. It's a natsumero. Not necessarily 'sad' as much as... I guess reflecting on the difficulties of staying in touch/staying together in life. And how short-lived everything is. Ayumi Hamasaki - For My Dear This one's another one about not being able to say the words that mean the most to you. (Do we sense a pattern here?) It's really an emotionally-charged song for me. I think Ayu had very lonely teenage years. Ayumi Hamasaki - End roll Saying good-bye. Nuff said. I'm sure you have all read the lyrics. This is a song that gave me a swift kick when I was going through a tough time. PORNO GRAFFITI - 音の無い森・Oto no nai mori/Soundless Forest It's a song that really moves me and spurs me on. I don't think it's necessarily natsumero for me, but definitely makes me feel like "hey, I"m alive" Cocco - 雲の果路へKumo no Hateji e/To the Edge of the Clouds Cocco - ポロメリア Polomeria Cocco really has a talent for cutting through my emotions and getting down to the knitty-gritty. Her lyrics are so straight forward and completely unapologetic. Polomeria, especially, with its references to not being able to smile straight and running beyond a wired fence, really speaks to me. |

Mariah Carey- whenever you call "I won’t ever be too far away to feel you And I won’t hesitate at all Whenever you call And I’ll always remember The part of you so tender I’ll be the one to catch your fall Whenever you call" http://images-jp.amazon.com/images/P...CTHUMBZZZ_.jpg Ayumi Hamasaki- Heaven "側にいて愛する人時を超えて形を変えて ふたりまだ見ぬ未来がここに 残ってるから 信じて愛する人私の中で君は生きる だからこれから先もずっと サヨナラなんて言わない" http://www.charagoods.com/amazon/ama...crystalkay.jpg Crystal Kay- Motherland "私は君にとっての空でいたい 哀しみまでも包み込んで いつでも見上げるときはひとりじゃないと 遠くで思えるように 帰る場所であるように" |
'think twice' by eve 6 is pretty anger-provoking.
also the verve pipe - "the freshmen". my alltime favorite song |
Natasha Bedingfiels- Sojourn/Silent Movie
Natalie Imbruglia- Torn/Shiver/Honeycomb Child Bjork- Bachelorette And pretty much every Utada stuff. Oh, Ayu too. :D |
no way to say and forgiveness by ayumi!!!!!!!
|
Hmmmm... I'd have to say:
Ayumi Hamasaki - Memorial address Bright Eyes - Poison Oak The Arcade Fire - In The Backseat The Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) The Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) The Arcade Fire - Une Anee Sans Lumiere ...okay, so basically any Arcade Fire song. They all have a vice grip on my tender heart. |
Ayumi's Heaven really touched my heart since the first time I listened to it.
Maaya Sakamoto's "Okitegami" and "Another Gray Day in the Big Blue World", Emiko Shiratori's "Lonely Planet", BEPA's "Brat'ja" and Lene Marlin's "Another day" still make me cry sometimes. Oh, and Loreena McKennitt's "Dante's Prayer" is a really beautiful song too! |
outside of j-pop, i'm all about the mariah.
back back back in the love takes time and can't let go days.. |

|
*all we are is dust in the wind...*
|
hmmm. since this is general music I'll skip my fav JPop artists and try to focus on American or English ones...
Kelly Clarkson's Because of You has alot of meaning behind it... Maroon 5's Sunday Morning is just so cozy and wonderful to snuggle with your lover too :) and another one of Maroon 5's songs is called 'The Sweetest Goodbye"... Now that is a HOT song! |
Most ballads are quite emotional.
|
I would say...look at the performance from Memorial address^^
And I almost crying when I'm hearing Dir en grey-Mushi and Dir en grey-Zakuro. This songs are great. And when I'm seeing the live performance I always have to fight not to cry. |
Memorial address- Ayumi Hamasaki
Iris- The Goo Goo Dolls You Don't Have To Let Go- Jessica Simpson You're Still The One- Shania Twain Goodbye- Spice Girls Through The Rain-Mariah Carey Because Of You- Kelly Clarkson |

Chihiro Onitsuka - Infection
Nine Inch Nails - Hurt (arguably the saddest song ever written) If I could start againArcade Fire - Ocean of Noise In an ocean of noise |
Quote:
Anyway, now I'd say (in addition to Arcade Fire :P): Shiina Ringo - Shuukyou - a brilliant song... it starts out mysterious, then makes your heart swell and at the end leaves you deflated, pondering, thoughtful. It holds my rapt interest for every second. Shiina Ringo - Tsumi to Batsu - a powerful blues ballad. You can feel her pain so deeply. Especially fun to belt out when I'm feeling down. Cocco - Hi no terinagara ame no furu - makes me feel hopeful and grateful somehow. lovely |

By ENTAKT. |
Anything by Antony and the Johnsons. Antony Hagerty tackles some very hard, very deep and choking feelings and events. This year, the big one for me was his song "The Spirit Was Gone", which is about seeing someone's body after they die and having to acknowledge that they aren't there anymore.
A few songs have always brought me to tears: Natalie Merchant - My Skin I recommend everyone hear this song at least once. Everyone's been at a point where they wonder if they're just ugly or worthless, and if they're only ever meant to be a discard; as if they will only ever sit on park benches and watch the world fall in and out of love at its whim, attempting to care for the happy couples in the vague daydream that they can be like them too. This song is for the bruised and broken from love, and it's my favorite get-it-out-of-my-system-and-just-break-down song. Sarah McLachlan - I Love You A good song about wanting to love someone you feel is always just outside your reach. Capercaillie - Ailein Duinn (Dark-Haired Alan) A classic lament from Ireland about a young girl whose lover is killed at sea, so she lies on the shore from which he sailed and vows to return to him in death. This is one of the most beautiful works of music I've ever heard. Bulgarian Folk Song "Malka Moma" ("Little Girl") When I first started learning bulgarski this year, I was introduced to this song by my friend who was serving in the Bulgarian military and helped me learn more about Bulgarian culture. This song is about a little girl praying for God to give her wings so she may soar above the land and sea to find the one she will love someday. Very sweet song. "Zaydi, Zaydi Yasno Slance" (Go Down, Go Down Bright Sun) I still have no clue whether this song is originally from Macedonia or Bulgaria, but it is one of, if not the most famous and widely performed folk songs in Bulgaria. The song is sung to nature from the perspective of a person who is dying, and the singer is telling the sun that when it sets it will always rise the next morning whereas when he/she lies down to sleep he/she will not rise the next morning. Very heartbreaking song; it makes you consider your own mortality. |
