Lets see....

For english songs you can try some Death Cab for Cutie, their songs are kind of dark. You can also try these individuals songs:
My Chemical Romance - Cancer
Jet - Look What You've Done
Thirsty Merc - 20 good reasons
Thirsty Merc - Someday, Someday (Thirsty Merc songs are kind of sad, so you can actually try find his albums)
Self Conclusion by: Spill Canvas
Aqua - Good Guys
Aqua - Aquarius
Jojo - Note to God
The Killers - When You Were Young


For Japanese songs you can try:
Changin My Life (you might want to youtube eternal snow so you can see the translatons, i recommend Love Chronicle, Smile, Star Dust (sounds sadder than the rest of her other songs), sayanora, and Embraced Love)

Ayumi Hamasaki (she has so many songs but the best thing about her is she makes both dark (sad) and up beat songs...she has an album(well it's a two disk album) out called A Best 2: Black/White (Black has the darker songs while white has the happy upbeat songs on it).

Angela Aki she sings both in english and japanese and is only accompanied by her own piano playing.

other artist/songs you can try are:
Olivia Lufkin
FAKE? ft. Anna Tsuchiya - Butterfly (Ypu'll find it on youtube as Don'tLet my sun go down)
Mika Nakashima
EmyLi - Rain
EmyLi - Someday
m-flo loves Yoshika - Let Go


...well I don't usually listen sad songs and of right now I can't think of any good ones I've listened to in the past so I hope my list could help you some.

i'm a total killer for sad songs, especially if the lyrics relate to my problems.
here are some of my favs:
-broken by seether feat. ...that one chick from evanescence
(the lyrics are heart-breaking, but i still love the song overall)
-kono shiroi yuki to by fujita maiko
(i LOVE this song. the lyrics are sooo bittersweet!)
-saigo no I love you by katou/katoh miriya
(the lyrics are pretty sad here, too. related to me in a lot of ways.)
-UNHAPPY by shimizu shouta
(the lyrics are a little more guy-related, but this is my favorite out of the list)

To Zanarkand, from FFX is sad, and beautiful as well

The whole Lord of the Rings soundtrack is AMAZING. There are a lot of moving, orchestral works in there, especially the scene where Pippin is singing, and the Rohan theme.

Yann Tiersen's Amelie award winning soundtrack is also very sad. It's completely piano, but so transparently beautiful to listen to
