Everyone wants to avoid getting angry and live each day in peace, right?

But life doesn’t work that way—problems and challenges come to us.

When you’re shaking with anger, what would you do?

Before you vent your anger at someone or somewhere, why not try harnessing the power of music?

Rather than just being angry or resenting someone, I’ve put together a selection of anger-themed songs that feel refreshing to listen to.

Give them a listen before your stress explodes.

And may you feel refreshed again starting tomorrow!

I want to blow off some stress! Recommended anger and grudge songs (31–40)

It’s nothing good.Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi

Among Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s songs that carry a spirit of defiance, this one channels a different kind of anger.

Instead of his usual theme of “the city and big institutions are to blame,” here it’s as if he’s laughing and crying at his own helplessness.

The thing he hates most isn’t the person who deceived him, nor the one who left him, but himself—for not being able to shoulder all of it.

It’s a masterpiece packed with energy, showcasing Nagabuchi’s signature style at its brightest!

stress-freemiwa

The more you listen, the more this song—mysteriously—seems to lift the weight off your heart.

Along with Miwa’s refreshing vocals, it soothes hearts worn out by stressful days.

Released as a single in August 2015, it was also used as the ending theme for the drama “Mr.

Hiiragi’s Homeroom” (Ministry of HIRUO? Note: Original title: “Minou”).

Packed with humor, the lyrics briskly capture the fuzziness of romance and the irritations of everyday life.

It’s the perfect track for those moments when you feel like screaming.

Put it on when you want to reclaim your true self or need a little boost.

It will surely fill you with energy for tomorrow.

When negative emotions start to pile up, I want to let them out with this song—RADWIMPS’s “DADA.” Released as a single in 2011, the title “DADA” comes from things like “Dadaism” and “throwing a tantrum.” When you’re irritated, your thoughts get scattered and you don’t know what to do, right? These lyrics have parts that straighten out those thoughts and bring you back to basics with an “Oh, I see.” With its intense rhythm and piercing words, it’ll surely leave you feeling refreshed.

RADWIMPS – May’s Flies [Official Music Video]

A track distinguished by a heavy, full-bodied band sound that bursts forth like a broken dam.

Its shockingly violent lyrics vividly convey the impulsive hatred that comes when affection turns to loathing.

At the same time, the extreme expressions hint at a profound love that has transformed into hatred.

CreepHyp are a four-piece rock band that has gained popularity with songs featuring lyrics written from a unique angle and melodies with catchy hooks.

Aquarium Without Mince Words, included on their major-label debut album I Thought I’d Be Loved Forever Until I Die, creates a powerful impact with its memorable guitar riff and spoken-word poetry.

The depiction of recalling past anger while trapped in a confined space is something many listeners can relate to.

It’s a rock tune with an energetic ensemble that exhilaratingly gives voice to pent-up rage.

deadlockKamisama, boku wa kizuite shimatta

Kami-sama, I’ve realized this is a song you can fully immerse yourself in, where the sense of sprinting and the gnawing impatience link with a stressed-out mind.

Since the entire chorus is sung in English, I think even people who struggle with Japanese music can get drawn right in.

From the lyrics, the protagonist seems tormented by human relationships and the gap between ideals and reality.

Surely there are many who feel the same helpless rush of anxiety and impatience, which takes root in the heart as anger.

It’s a stress-relief anthem that makes you want to blast it at full volume.

RevengeMy Hair is Bad

This song sharply captures the heart of someone carrying the pain of heartbreak.

Included on My Hair is Bad’s November 2017 album “mothers,” it portrays the collision of intense anger and deep sorrow.

Through vocalist Tomomi Shiiki’s delivery, the suddenness of the breakup, the urge to strike back afterward, and the eventual journey toward forgiveness are rendered with raw immediacy.

It’s a track that resonates with anyone suffering from heartbreak or struggling with the complexities of human relationships.

As you listen to its provocative lyrics, you might paradoxically find yourself growing calmer.
