this is a REALLY hard one for me, because i like so many solos for different reasons. if i had to pick just one, i think it would have to be "Mamoritai" by our dear tacchon. its such a beautiful song, it makes me tear up often when i hear it. ill post the lyrics up with the vid i found of a performance of it.

遠くはなれていても 思いはつながってるよ
僕の未来にはいつも 君がいるから
Tooku hanarete itemo Omoi wa tsunagatteru yo
Boku no mirai ni wa itsumo Kimi ga iru kara
Even if we're far away from each other, we're connected by our feelings
Because my future has always had you in it
僕の強がりなとこも 素直になれないとこも
黙って愛してくれる君を 離したくない 永久に
Boku no tsuyogari na toko mo Sunao ni narenai toko mo
Damatte aishitekureru kimi wo Hanashitakunai Towa ni
The parts of me that put on a show of courage The parts of me that can't be honest
The you who loves me without saying a word I don't want to let you go for all eternity
あの空へ いつかいくよ 星は待ってる
その時が来るまで一緒にいて欲しい
ありがとう 何度でも言うよ
Ano sora e Itsuka iku yo Hoshi wa matteru
Sono toki ga kuru made Isshoni ite hoshii
Arigatou Nando de mo iu yo
One day we'll go to that sky, where the stars await us
Until that time comes, I want to be with you
Thank you; I'll keep saying it over and over again
あぁもっと 抱きしめたいよ 僕の胸で
君が悲しくなってても これしかできないよ
まもりたい 何もかも失くしてでも
Aa motto Dakishimetai yo Boku no mune de
Kimi ga kanashikunatte te mo Kore shika dekinai yo
Mamoritai Nani mo kamo nakushite demo
Ah, I want to hold you closer to my heart
Even if you're sad, I can't do anything more than this
I want to protect you, even if I lose everything
君の泣き虫なとこも さみしがりやなとこも
愛しいく思ってしまういつも 隣にいたい 永久に
Kimi no nakimushi na toko mo Samishigari ya na toko mo
Itoshiiku omotteshimau itsumo Tonari ni itai Towa ni
The part of you that's a crybaby The part of you that's lonely
It's because I think of you as my darling; that's why I want to stay by your side for all eternity
あの空が 遠くなるよ 時が流れて
色あせてしまっても 涙が出なくても
忘れない 思い出をずっと
Ano sora ga Tooku naru yo Toki ga nagarete
Iroasete shimatte mo Namida ga denakute mo
Wasurenai Omoide wo zutto
Even if we can't reach that sky Time continues to pass
Even if we fade Even if the tears won't come
I won't ever forget these memories
あぁもっと 抱きしめたいよ その向こうが
もしも暗くてかすんでても 絶望が待ってても
まもりたい 何もかも失くしてでも
Aa motto Dakishimetai yo Sono mukou ga
Moshi mo kurakute kasunde te mo Zetsubou ga matte te mo
Mamoritai Nani mo kamo nakushite demo
Ah, I want to hold you more
Even if what's ahead grows dark and misty Even if despair awaits us
I want to protect you, even if I lose everything
不安になる時 道が見えなくなる時は
あのぬくもり 思い出す
いつまでも 君だけを アイシテル
Fuan ni naru toki Michi ga mienakunaru toki wa
Ano nukumori omoidasu Omoidasu
Itsumade mo Kimi dake wo Aishiteru
At times when you feel insecure At times when you can't see the way
Remember that warmth
And that I will always love only you
あの空へ いつかいくよ 星が待ってる
その時が来るまで 一緒にいてほしい
ありがとう 何度でも言うよ
Ano sora e Itsuka iku yo Hoshi ga matteru
Sono toki ga kuru made Isshoni ite hoshii
Arigatou Nandodemo iu yo
One day we'll go to that sky, where the stars await us
Until that time comes, I want to be with you
