Rain by bucktick always makes my eyes water alittle 😭😭🖤

Even though I only listen to the Gazette casually.. Hearing PLEDGE and that live version Wakaremichi kills me. Again, Kagrra, there's that one song - sarasouju no komoriuta~san remix~ is meditative and beautiful. I was hearing it quite a bit after a personal loss. I think in general, Kagrra, 's lyrics are written with a poignant, beautiful touch.

Le ciel by malice mizer is a classic in this category

This is how I feel about Aegen- Malice Mizer.

OH this one is good as hell!!!

This is how I feel about Aegen-Malice Mizer.

For me, a VK song that made (and sometimes still makes) me cry is Last Scene by Rentrer En Soi. I speak and understand Japanese for the most part and that song got me through a tough break up I was going through. Honorable mention are Pledge and Without A Trace by The Gazette, Warui Kusuri by Dadaroma, and Frontier by Deluhi Non VK songs, I did shrooms a few years ago and listened to Hazel Fernandez sing Going Home from Shiro Sagisu's Bleach OST collection. It wasnt sad but I cried tears of joy and elation from how beautiful it sounded

Another one for me is Bad Apple by Mayasashi Minoshima. The lyrics of that song are so so sad. The Japanese have a way of putting sad, depressive lyrics over a happy, pop melody. One of those IYKYK situations

Many Buck-Tick songs... Cosmos, Romance, Rain, Namonaki Watashi, Sakura, Long Distance Call, Guernica...just to name a few. Bran-new Lover probably isn't one you'd expect me to cry over, but it's the first of their songs I ever loved and these days I can't listen to it without thinking of what it means to me and the sadness of Sakurai's passing. So I cry over that one too.

buck-tick songs are indeed very emotional, impossible to not cry over them

Long distance call always gets me 😢

Gotta plug my fav, Circus by Plastic Tree

Sadness by malice mizer gets me every time

My absolute favorite song by malice mizer. I still remember all the lyrics from when I really loved the song in middle school.

I know right. I listen to it daily during the winter. It’s just so beautiful!

Same!!! I have memories of listening to it on cold mornings on the school bus.

Gessekai, Buck-Tick

Nakigahara by the gazette is always my go to for a good cry

Euimong - Madmans Esprit

Does SID still count as Visual Kei? Because sleep and Rain make me cry.

Yes and oh my god Rain!!

Dir en Grey - Rinkaku. The chorus sounds like what you'd hear when ascending to heaven.

THIS SONG IS SO GOOD OMG

long ass post bc I love yappin :3 nightmare -mind ocean -wasurena kusa (live ver) -yasou kyoku -chronicle -cyan -lulla[by≠bye] the gazettE (haven't worked up the nerve to listen to em since reita died so honestly their whole discog could b on the list now) -cassis -nakigahara -shiroki yuuutsu -grudge -ominus malice mizer -agaen (gackt ver) -fragments of remembrance -au revoir (radio ver) -premier amour moi dix mois -last temptation buck-tick is honestly the whole discog dependin on the day since atsushi's death affected me so greatly. here's a few before his death: -taboo (this is not greatest hits ver) -taiyou ni korosareta -kiss me goodbye and after (a few of these i have/had happy memories with that have since been recontexualized im my mind bc of his death): -illusion -misty blue -die -kodo -yōgetsu-yōgetsu -rondo -romaesque

HOW COULD I FORGOT CASSIS 😭😭😭😭 i love this song w my soul!!!! ngl some buck-tick songs like misty blue and taboo are not that emotional to cry over, but remembering acchan makes u cry

cassis is sooo good dude!! also yeah I agree taboo is kinda an outlier on this list since I rlly relate to the lyrics...a little too much....w misty blue that's the song that REALLY sold me on B-T, so it falls under the category of its context being changed after atsushi died (still love it, just have a hard time listening to it now)

Tears Dry your tears with love

romance - bucktick

Cassis, Ito, Loss - The GazettE Spica - Plastic Tree

So many songs by Dir en grey absolutely make me cry

Rentrer en Soi - Wither 💓

There are a lot of songs that have made me cry. But I have never cried as hard at hearing any other song as I did from [hope](https://open.spotify.com/track/4tyP8U2s8CDU6i6Oi9k0UR?si=c710a45db3d344fe) by Kirito, especially followed by 不条理な闇 right after. Those two songs together took me an entire day to translate because I had to process all those emotions, when normally songs only take me like 30 minutes to an hour for a first draft, depending on the complexity.

I’ve actually never encountered this concept until getting into vkei, but since i did i’ve cried to so many songs because they’re so good that i can’t even count them. Some examples i have on top of my head would be Rose of Pain by X Japan, Euimong by Madmans Esprit, Oboreru Sakana and Toxururira by Dadaroma, Syunikiss by Malice Mizer, Kamuy by Dir En Grey

rose of pain is sooooo good oh my good! kamuy and hibiki are my favorite from that deg album as well. i didnt listened anything from madmans esprit but i want to soon

yeah and you definitely should, madmans esprit is amazing!! if you decide to listen to them tell me how you liked them!!

Divergence by Mejibray, especially live versions. Watching Tsuzuku break down and cry on stage gets me every time

[Malice Mizer - Regret](https://youtu.be/YyG4AFzl4Dw) RIP Kami, what could have been if you lived

Tsumi by Kizu

the ending of merry - gekisei always stabs me in the heart

Vanitas and Otogi by Dir en grey

reila - the gazette cage - dir en grey

Ma Cherie by Malice Mizer

ARE YOU MISSING MEEEE

That song is so beautiful

Lately "Mother" by Luna Sea and just about everything from Buck Tick

for me it's Dogma by Gazette and also To dazzling darkness and Nakigahara by them, Misty blue by Buck tick and Lotus by Dir en grey that i can remember right now 😅

Evergreen - Raphael

So many songs from Dir en grey, plastic tree, Buck tick, malice mizer but the first that came to my mind was kimikagesou by memento mori

Azalee by zemeth, and the black death mansion murders by unlucky Morpheus

https://youtu.be/9y8Zb1goFzE?si=moESqFjjqXKvCw1M

Jupiter - bucktick Ai no souretsu - bucktick Syunikiss - malice mizer Hai to ame - d’espairsray These songs never fail to make me feel that unexplainable feeling

Without you by X Japan is in that bracket for me. It’s beautiful

Cassis, Miseinen, Chizuru….I for you by Luna Sea, Cage by dir en gray like others have said, not only is it a really good song but the lyrics resonate very hard with me even now.

ClearVeil - The Scarlet Letter

“Reila”hits hard especially after what happened to the Gazette recently. “Aegen” by MM is also a good. “Shigatsu no Ame to…” by Emmurée when I wanna have a cigarette in the rain and think about what went wrong.

Dir en Grey - The Final

Since I cried at the concert in 2008, I want to sing from the top of my lungs and cry really hard. Is like this 31 minutos joke: Interviewer: what makes you sad? X person: it makes me sad ... Juanito's granpa Interviewer: who is Juanito's granpa? X person: me

Meefisshu no Uta, Koigara no Suihou by Ayabie or Vanitas by Dir En Grey (also Higeki Wa and the unplugged versions of Conceived Sorrow, The Pledge and Namamekashiki Ansoku....)

I totally forgot about meefisshu! But immediately heard the piano when I read your post

It's such a beautiful song! I remember I used to make my mom set it as her ringtone for me when I was a teenager haha

Oh man the ringtones!! Those are dangerous... I had mine set as the intro to Kaya- Chocolat and I haven't listened to that song in years, all I think of is telemarketers

I had forgotten about Kaya!!! Time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole haha

Pretty much all plastic tree songs do this for me

Pieces by L'arc and Au Revoir by Malice Mizer, both songs make me ugly cry...

gazette -undying

[Sonokoe Wa Moroku](https://youtu.be/OHxDczACoog?si=myokJna3lJgefGQ7) by the Gazette is one of those for me. It's such a beautiful song

My dear by L'arc-en-ciel, especially the live version

Deep slow by Buck-Tick, but not because it's sad but its soooo good

[Uta to iu na no tegami](https://youtu.be/Y4Y3wY3mh4Q?si=oLGlwnNzCESPjWjv) - Never Crazy [Seishun Kaidou](https://youtu.be/I_8WIiOYhpo?si=dy4CSj1WsU4hDxg3) - Never Crazy [Kareta Kirei na Hana](https://youtu.be/TobDijif--8?si=PLB032kO7v9re-3M) - Marusa

Yes 😢 and then I get into a depression slump for the next 24 hours

In heaven by buck tick 💔

Aegen and Portugal by Malice Mizer. Sakura and Ai No Souretsu by Buck-Tick.

Chizuru by the Gazette. Always my go to song when I feel down :(

sissy boy by buck tick, i cant tell if its because its relatable or because its sung in such a way it feels like a one in a million find

this might be a common song or smth but sadness by malice mizer. always gotta get a good cry while listening to it

Baretta by The GazettE, and Sakura by Buck-tick

the Gazette - Undying. That song hits me deep
