Yami songs recommended for women

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 hope I can be of help to you, even just a little!

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.

RADWIMPS – Angina [Official Music Video]

Angina RADWIMPS

Turn on the TV and the world is overflowing with sad news.

You want to do something, but you can’t do anything.

Don’t you ever end up hating yourself for that helplessness? That cry of the heart is what RADWIMPS’ “Kyoshinsho” (Angina) sings about.

In a world where sorrow never ends, you get so angry you even want to complain to God.

This is a song I’d love for you to listen to in those moments.

Hako Yamasaki - Curse

Curse Yamasaki Hako

This is “Noroi” (“Curse”), a song by Hako Yamasaki released in 1979.

I think there are times when we end up hating someone so much we feel like cursing them.

When those feelings surface, don’t you feel overwhelmed with guilt and find it hard to breathe? In those moments, please listen to this song.

Realizing “I’m not the only one who feels this way” should ease your heart.

Although it’s a dark, ominous piece, you could also say it’s a warm song that absorbs the darkness in people’s hearts.

Magic Mirror Seiko Omori

This is “Magic Mirror,” a song by Seiko Oomori, the ally of mentally fragile girls.

Outstanding vocal prowess, raw lyrics, fluffy costumes—her existence is chaos, and her songs shine a spotlight on people’s everyday lives.

When you have a dark side within you, it’s only natural to worry whether others will accept it.

Let’s reveal ourselves without fear!

Lipstick / Miliyah Kato Cover SEILA

Lipstick Miliyah Kato

As the queen of breakup songs, Miliyah Kato was especially popular among young women.

In 2019, news of her marriage surprised the public.

Many of the tracks she released were heavy, emotionally charged love songs.

Among them, “Lipstick” really conveys that pained, troubled state of mind.

If there are men who think women dress up just for fun, this is definitely a song you’ll want them to hear!

Kenshi Yonezu – Metronome

Metronome Kenshi Yonezu

This is Metronome, sung by singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu.

Just as two pendulum metronomes that start swinging at the same tempo gradually fall out of sync over time, couples, too, can stop getting along.

You wonder where those early feelings went, but there’s nothing you can do.

It’s a common story, yet it’s truly heartbreaking.

Akashic “8mm Film”

8mm Film Akashic

A band that’s been making waves for their dark lyrics and eccentric behavior on stage, Akashic.

Most of the lyrics are written by the vocalist, Rihime, whose unique words draw on her experiences and sensibilities growing up in Yokohama’s entertainment district, making the band distinctive and intriguing.

In addition, the guitarist, Okuwaki, is active as a creator, providing songs to other artists.

Girls don't cry.Rina Katahira

Rina Katahira - Girls Don’t Cry (Music Video)

Girls Don't Cry Rina Katahira

This is Rina Katahira’s “Onna no Ko wa Nakanai” (“Girls Don’t Cry”).

There are, unfortunately, some outrageous men who toy with girls’ feelings.

Many girls have been made to cry and get hurt by such men.

As the song says, there’s no need to shed tears for people like that! Now’s the time to end those push-and-pull relationships and fall in love with someone sincere and kind (lol).
