The kid who always gets comparedTsuyu
When you’re compared to someone else and have areas where you fall short, it’s only natural to feel intense jealousy.
This song traces the course of emotions born from being compared, and the feelings that lie beyond.
You get used to always being the one who comes up short, and eventually you start assuming on your own that you’re inferior.
As the song approaches its end, those negative feelings shift, transforming into a mindset of not caring about comparisons and affirming, “I am who I am.” It’s a track that shows people who are always hurt by being compared how to flip the switch in their hearts.
S'il vous plaît, PresidentLord P-Maru.
A smash-hit, hugely talked-about song that absolutely blew up on TikTok in 2021.
It got so big that there’s hardly a mega-influencer on TikTok who didn’t use it.
Its over-the-top world of jealousy was both ridiculous and wildly relatable.
The song starts with a monologue from an almost impossible premise—“When I’m elected president”—and by the time the chorus hits, its cuteness outweighs the cruelty of the payback… It’s an ultra-happy track you’ll want to listen to over and over.
A fun, playful anthem that hypes up the feeling of not tolerating cheating!
I'm jealous.℃-ute
Envy by °C-ute, a Japanese female idol group active from 2005 to 2017.
It’s a song about working hard to make your dreams come true, yet finding yourself feeling envious when you hear others’ love stories.
Even while telling herself, “I’m not jealous,” she still, deep down, wants to fall in love and have a boyfriend—the honest feelings of a girl that are just so adorable.
First biteRinu
Despite a title that evokes a wedding event, the lyrics depict dim, unsettling emotions and a codependent relationship.
This song by Rinu from Strawberry Prince was released in December 2024.
Written and composed by the Vocaloid producer Naisho no Pierced, the track pairs a dramatic, weighty sound with Rinu’s standout vocal performance.
His voice, as if wrung from the depths of the heart, shakes both eardrums and mind.
It’s a hard-hitting love song recommended for those who want to resonate with hidden feelings and shifting emotions.
A triangular lovesaji
All I can do is watch over the two in love… It’s a ballad that tells a tale of a sorrowful romance.
The song is by saji, a rock band from Hokkaido, and is included on their second mini-album “Hanabi no Uta,” released in 2020.
The resonant strings blend beautifully with the delicate vocals, and by the time it ends, tears will come naturally.
So, it’s perfect for when you really want a good cry.
That’s how deeply it hits the heart.
It leaves you with an afterglow like you’ve just finished watching a romance film.
asking for the moonKANA-BOON
This song, “Naimononedari,” included on KANA-BOON’s first mini-album released in 2013, “Boku ga CD wo Dashitara,” is a fan favorite and the very definition of catchy.
The lyrics, which start with a back-and-forth between a man and a woman—almost like a little lovers’ quarrel—are especially memorable.
It’s refreshing how straightforwardly it sings about jealousy toward things seen and thoughts that come to mind, but in the end it’s a song about a wavering heart—about the feelings of love.
loversMACO
Singer-songwriter MACO, from Hakodate, Hokkaido, released the song “Koibito Doushi” on June 10, 2016.
It portrays the fleeting joy of romance alongside the anxiety and loneliness that can follow.

Its rhythmic yet emotionally resonant melody evokes empathy for the contradictory feelings experienced in a romantic relationship.
Highly recommended for those who are simultaneously tasting the joys and pains of love, and for anyone who fears parting with someone they love.
