Kagerou DaysJin (Shizen no Teki-P)

A song by Jin that carries a heartrending yet overwhelming worldview.

8 million views.
It was later included on the albums Mekakucity Days and Mekakucity Records, and has been beloved by many as one of Jin’s signature works.
This is a track I want you to hear if you feel stuck in life.
It will gently nudge you forward, reminding you that there is always hope in this world.
Even though (I/you/they) became stupidPlastic Tree

These are lyrics with a strong message: I was fine up through middle school, but after that I got dumb.
It’s the kind of song that, when people who are hung up on the past—like “I should’ve studied more” or “If only I’d done this back then”—listen to it, they end up feeling like none of that really matters anymore.
A Long, Short FestivalRingo Sheena

The PV really captures how frightening women can be.
Since it has a dramatic storyline, it’s best to listen while watching the PV.
It’s totally insane but super cool! I think this song really brings out Shiina Ringo’s coolest side.
Gentlemen, be careful with women.

GlideLily Chou-Chou

She is the singer who appears in the film All About Lily Chou-Chou.
In reality, the vocals are by Salyu.
The film itself deals with troubled, pent-up emotions of youth, so the songs are dark as well.
Please watch the movie first.
Lily Chou-Chou’s music has a morbid feel to it.
Translucent Girl RelationsZAZEN BOYS

The lyrics and vocalist Mr.
Mukai’s singing style are rock to the max.
The lyrics even say, “You and I have nothing to do with each other!” Listening to this song clears away the daily stress from work and more.
It’s also a song about the human desire to be connected with someone.
body temperatureLUNKHEAD

It has a sense of speed, yet there’s something wistful about it.
The lyrics seem vague, but I think they actually hit the core.
“You don’t need meaning or reasons or anything like that for your heart to tremble and tears to fall.” I want to listen to it when I’m feeling down to lift my spirits.

A heart-wrenching love ballad by Yamasaru that tugs at the listener’s heartstrings.
Its words quietly resonate, asking what true kindness really is.
Released in February 2016, it stands out as a memorable piece in his musical career.
The song portrays the conflict of a love that must end and the delicate feelings of not wanting to hurt the other person, showcasing Yamasaru’s refined sensitivity and expressive power.
The warm tone of the acoustic guitar and his unique blend of rap and singing deepen the story’s impact.
It is a heartwarming ballad that offers comfort to those who have experienced heartbreak or a farewell to someone dear.
