Yami songs recommended for women

lightercatnap
A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

I sometimes think I’m “mentally worn down.”

I believe many people today feel that way.

You can’t say what you want to say, you wear yourself out trying to fit in, and even though you’re smiling, you’re not having any fun at all.

If you keep living like that, your heart might end up breaking without you even noticing.

In this article, I’ll introduce some “yami” songs recommended for women who feel this way.

They lay bare emotions—feelings about love, thoughts toward society—that you normally can’t put into words.

If you feel you’re “struggling,” give them a listen.

Discord (Keyakizaka46)

There are so many unreasonable things in the world, and in many cases we have no choice but to go along with them, don’t we? Forcing yourself to conform and follow everyone else can really wear you down… But this song carries the message: don’t break—stay true to yourself!! It might be hard to act that way in your everyday job or at school, but maybe this song will help clear away some of that frustration.

Heavy GirlShoko Nakagawa

Shoko Nakagawa 'Heavy Girl' Shocking MV Released!! A 'heavy' woman depicted by Shuko Nemoto

Heavy Girl Shoko Nakagawa

As the title suggests, it’s a song that portrays the mindset of a troubled girl, themed around being a “clingy” or “intense” woman in love.

Although it was originally a B-side to the 2018 single “blue moon,” its shocking lyrics led to an MV being made on short notice.

The must-see video features Shokotan broadcasting her one-sided feelings, only to be shockingly thrown away at a garbage dump by her boyfriend.

Yummy!You'll Melt More!

You'll Melt More! “Yumme” (Official Music Video)

Umme YURUMERUMO!

In the scenes where the members’ stories and feelings are told, they feel much closer to us.

Especially Ano-chan’s narration as a former member brings me to tears now.

How wonderful it would be to find companions or something to lean on.

The down-to-earth lyrics and words really sink into my heart.

Please don’t push yourself when things are tough.

The song expresses the desire to be true to oneself, and it carries a warmth, like a gentle light shining into a troubled heart.

It’s a wonderful song.

In particular, the music video for this track became a hot topic for its high level of “yandere” vibes, depicting her entering her ex-lover’s room.

While the music video is creepy, the song itself has a cute feel, so it’s recommended for women who are feeling emotionally unwell.
