I want to blow off stress! Recommended anger songs and grudge songs (51–60)
I hate itMUCC
A popular song often performed live even before their major-label debut, “Daikirai” (I Hate You).
Its intense sound feels cathartic when you’re angry, and the lyrics simply repeat “I hate you” toward someone the singer despises.
The words “anger” or “grudge” don’t appear in the lyrics, but you can feel the buildup of long-simmering rage.
For anyone stressed by having someone they dislike close by, this is a track you can relate to.
If you hate someone but can’t say it out loud, try singing this one at solo karaoke!
crimsonX JAPAN
If you ever find yourself feeling angry in daily life, try calming that anger by listening to “Kurenai” by X JAPAN, one of Japan’s most iconic metal bands.
YOSHIKI’s high-speed, powerful drumming will clear your head before your stress boils over, and TOSHI’s piercing high-tone vocals are sure to blow away that pent-up frustration.
nakano kill youRin to shite Shigure
When you’re irritated, you can sometimes feel a destructive urge, right? At times like that, I recommend “nakano kill you” by Ling tosite sigure.
The razor-sharp Telecaster sound and the shouted vocals are sure to clear out your anger-fueled mood.
Their level of musicianship is also striking—hard to believe they’re just a three-piece band.
bowlingTakahashi Yuu
Thanks to the hit “Fukuwarai,” Yu Takahashi often comes across with a soft, warm image, but in fact he has many songs written with sharp, edgy words like this one.
In the lyrics of this track, he lists a lot of things that any working adult has probably felt are a total “pain in the neck,” which many listeners will relate to.
Yet it’s not just a string of complaints; by the end, he expresses feelings that convey love for someone important to him, which is truly heartwarming.
The accompaniment—band-based with piano woven in—feels comfortable and has a gripping appeal that really hits home.

Screw you, world—go ahead and mess around.Kuroki Nagisa
In singer-songwriter Nagisa Kuroki’s song, the overall vibe is a catchy band sound featuring piano, giving it a very happy and cute feel.
Meanwhile, the lyrics point out many absurdities in society and brush them off with a defiant “Give me a break!!” At the same time, there are lines that seem to envision a future where we can live happily and enjoyably.
Combined with the cheerful arrangement, by the time the song ends, your anger has eased and you’re left feeling a bit more positive.
MAYDAY feat. Ryo from Crystal Lakecoldrain
An aggressive rock tune resounding with ferocious shouts and a heavy sound.
It powerfully portrays the chaos and destruction born from desire and betrayal, as well as the people who stand up to face them.
With a featured appearance by Ryo from Crystal Lake, it achieves an overwhelming intensity that shakes the listener to the core.
Included on the album THE SIDE EFFECTS and released in August 2019, it was used as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime Fire Force, brilliantly capturing the spirit of the series.
This powerful track is recommended for moments when you want to unleash all your emotions or boost your motivation.
In conclusion
I gathered a lot of songs about anger and resentment—did any of them resonate with your heart? As long as we’re alive, everyone has those aimless, frustrating feelings and irritations. Before that anger spirals out of control, I hope you can find songs you relate to or songs that help you let it all out. Belting them out at the top of your lungs feels great, so I highly recommend it!
