Everything other than death is just a scratch.Koresawa

Koresawa “Everything but dying is just a scratch” [MUSIC VIDEO]

Other people might say it’s no big deal, but there are surprisingly many things that feel “tough” to us personally.

This song, “Shinu Koto Igai Kasurikizu” (“Everything but Death Is Just a Scratch”), takes that kind of everyday life in a good, broad-minded way and makes you feel like you can move forward.

That said, it’s not a bright, pep-talk kind of anthem saying “Let’s do our best,” so it’s also recommended when you’re in the mood for a darker, cathartic song.

If you can think, “Everything but death is just a scratch,” a lot of things might start to feel easier.

Kill my ex-boyfriendGolden Bomber

Kill my ex. - Golden Bomber

It’s a novelty song that lives up to expectations for Golden Bomber, who often release comedic tracks.

Despite being a joke song, the lyrics are relatable—that’s the charm of Golden Bomber.

This track is a hidden gem packed with unforgettable phrases that stick with you after just one listen.

Loss and LiesYoko Kurahashi

Yoko Kurahashi - Loss and Lies

When you listen to it casually, it hardly sounds like a depressing song.

But once you look at the lyrics… it all makes sense.

Wanting to be loved by the one you love is something everyone feels in romance.

However, the woman in this song doesn’t care how little he pays attention to her; even if he insults her, she just wants to be by his side.

She’s satisfied even with words of love that lack truth—that’s how deep her feelings are.

It’s a love song for women so in love they can’t stop themselves, no matter what.

Lonely HeartsMiliyah Kato

Miliyah Kato 'Lonely Hearts'

When times are tough, I imagine many women listen to the song “Lonely Hearts.” In its music video, women hurt for various reasons appear, and it’s a song that deeply resonates with women who feel emptiness, loneliness, and an inescapable sense of isolation.

I want the person I love to love me back; I don’t want anyone to hurt me; I want my existence to be acknowledged.

It’s filled with such heartrending feelings, and just listening makes your chest tighten.

It’s a song I hope women going through hard times will listen to.

Objection! Wasshoi!Final Girl Hikasa

Final Girl HIKASA “Objection Wasshoi” (Official Music Video)

This is a male-vocal band whose lyrics can be aggressive at times, but the soft keyboard melodies balance them out, creating a dark yet pleasant listening experience.

Many of their songs are fast-paced, Shimokitazawa-style rock, and they’re recommended for women who love band sounds and resonate with darker themes.

Kenshi Yonezu – Metronome

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.

Stalker's Song: 3rd Block, Your HouseMao Abe

Stalker’s Song

Although it has the outrageous title “Stalker’s Song,” when you actually listen, it’s a track with some cute, chuckle-worthy moments.

The lively tune pairs perfectly with Mao Abe’s adorable yet powerful vocals, and the contrast with the slightly deranged lyrics makes it a particularly intriguing song.
