A 20-year-old song that won't get old. A classic masterpiece. The audience kept singing for 10 minutes even after the band stopped playing it.
Very emotional song. This song brings me back to the past where I can remember all of my beautiful memories.

The choir with the kids in the background gives off an amazing atmosphere. Such a beautiful song.
Amazing meaning, powerful song and deep emotions... Totally love it!
Diru is the best band in the world!
First time hearing them in 2011 and I instantly fell in love with the band!
This song is the most suitable song to be on top because the melody can make many of the listeners touched even without reading the lyrics. Ruki's beautiful voice has reached me to the extent that I won't live without his existence.
Definitely the best rock ballad in my opinion. Listened to it hundreds of times now, still brings tears to my eyes.
I fell in love with the song when I first listened to it! And like Cassis, this song will always make me feel at ease!
This song is amazing and inspirational. The meaning of the song, the melody, even the music video is just perfect.
I can listen to this song all day long, and never be fed up with it. This song saved my life, seriously. Love it!
This is the best song ever, giving us hope in our lives!
This is an amazing song. And Hyde-sama's voice is great in it!
His voice is so manly!
I love this song. This was one of my first Japanese bands... This and Malice Mizer... It's a perfect song!
Why is Tears at number 24? You know this is the best ballad song that I've ever listened to. The violin, the guitar, and the piano are very, very good. Please vote for this song. It could be in the top 5.
This is the first Japanese ballad song that I've heard and it totally changed my idea about Japan's music. In my opinion, this song is still the best ballad song in the world.
Simply the best, legendary ballad song that is written and composed beautifully by the legendary Yoshiki. The feeling of the song is really something.
This is a touchingly heartfelt song from X Japan. This song was also sung by Toshi at Hide's funeral which makes people cry when hearing this song. It could be in the top 10 best Japanese ballads.
Both music and lyrics are touching, sweet and sad at the same time. And the love described in this song might be real.
Pieces is one of the best L'Arc ballad songs, along with Hitomi no Jyuunin & Forbidden Lover.
The lyrics, and basically every note played by the band as well as the orchestra are perfectly combined, well thought out, and the final sound is just beautiful, intermingling, so.. Beautiful. Try listening to the instrumental-only version! The oboe just kills me every time, and the song has been in my playlist for 9 years. Remembering someone dear to you could be this heart-wrenching but it's not a lament, it's a celebration of that beloved person and of love itself. Listen to the instrumental version or with the vocal, both are just great. The best from L'Arc-en-Ciel.
The song is great lyrically, melodically, and also in setting an almost haunting tone. The music video reveals a bit of the inspiration for the song itself, but altogether it is one of those rare songs where the end result is greater than the sum of its parts.
I love this song. Satoshi is the best Japanese singer ever!
Best ever! My most favorite Japanese song! An awesome and magnificent orchestra in the background. Totally ineffable, great, touching, heart-warming and definitely flawless song! Emotions are included and nonetheless, warm my ear!
Totally beautiful song that blew Japan away for quite a time!
