RADWIMPS – Oshakashama [Official Music Video]

This song sharply satirizes the arrogance of humans acting as if they were gods, hurling piercing questions at the listener’s heart.

Included on RADWIMPS’s album “Altcolony no Teiri,” released in March 2009, the track has been highly praised since its release for its style in which vocals that weave between singing and rapping race over a sound where programmed beats and live instruments collide intensely.

The depth of its lyrics is another major draw—it even won “BEST LYRIC OF LIFE” at the FM FESTIVAL LIFE MUSIC AWARD in 2009.

If you’re angry at the absurdities you feel in society or everyday life, or burdened by a frustration you can’t shake, listening to this song can feel like a cathartic release, clearing out what’s been pent up deep inside.

[meiyo] Nothing I Do Goes Right [MV]

It’s an addictive song that lays bare the muddled thoughts and days when nothing goes right.

Released by meiyo in January 2022, it unfolds a distinctive sound that deftly weaves together humor and relatability.

Packed with contemporary themes—self-loathing, comparing oneself to others, and the struggle with social media validation—it’s sung in a self-addressing tone that leaves a strong impression.

The music video also portrays everyday “not going well” moments—like failing to split disposable chopsticks cleanly, or finding chopsticks included with a pudding—creating a unique, offbeat world.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when you can’t sort out your feelings or when you feel unable to move forward.

The lyrics, which evoke a strong sense of loathing yet shift in the final moments, leave an impact that feels like venting anger and then letting it slip away.

It’s a striking number, with a dramatic arrangement that brilliantly conjures the duality of opposing emotions.
