This is one of Chanmina’s energetic tracks that makes your heart surge just by listening and blows away your everyday frustrations.
When you play this song in moments when you want to explode with pent-up anger or dissatisfaction, it delivers a cathartic, refreshing rush.
Its hallmark is how the spirit of defiance against injustice and the unwavering will to stay true to yourself come across directly through aggressive beats and provocative rap.
Released digitally in February 2017 ahead of its inclusion on her March 2017 major-label debut album “Miseinen” (Minor), it stands as a signature track from her early period.
At the time, she was 18, and both her talent and her hard-edged style that shattered preconceptions shocked many listeners.

Here’s a ONE OK ROCK track that expresses pent-up anger and frustration as if slamming it down.
Listening to this song will make you feel a powerful energy that breaks through the status quo and transforms you into a new self.
Released in July 2011, it peaked at No.
6 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and was later included on the album “Zankyō Reference.” It was also featured in a Recollect commercial and used as the theme song for Kansai TV’s “Professional Baseball Relay 2025,” so some of you might remember it.
When your heart feels like it’s about to explode from overwhelming rage or stress, why not let everything out with this song and feel refreshed? It’s sure to give you the courage to take a step toward tomorrow!
I wonder if I might die.Kyūso Nekokami
When you feel like you’re being crushed by the irrationality of everyday life, there’s a song that will scream on your behalf.
An early track by Kyuso Nekokami, this aggressive yet danceable number will wash away the grime clinging to your heart.
Featured on the December 2012 album “Daiji na Oshirase,” it’s one of the most crowd-stirring favorites among the 11 tracks, especially at live shows.
Its appeal lies in the exhilarating way the band humorously transforms unspoken negativity and pent-up fury into catharsis.
On days when something feels unforgivable, or on nights when stress has you on the verge of exploding, turn up the volume and give it a listen.
You’ll feel all that buildup flush clean away.
Shut up.Ado
Her signature song, Usseewa, has been a long-running hit since its release in October 2020.
Even just seeing the bold title can be oddly refreshing when you’re feeling angry—it really leaves an impression.
The lyrics are packed with the frustrations that working adults carry, and new members of the workforce in particular will find plenty to relate to.
When stress builds up—from unfairness at work, pointless customs, or an annoying boss—try listening to this song and shouting along, “Usseewa!!!”
InfernoMrs. GREEN APPLE
This is a striking track featuring an intense rock sound and powerful lyrics.
Released in July 2019, it was written specifically as the opening theme for the first season of the TV anime Fire Force.
The song was born from Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s Motoki Omori being a fan of the original manga, and it brilliantly captures the anime’s worldview.
The piece sings of life’s transience and the courage to face hardship, carrying a fiery message that ignites the listener’s heart.
Especially when you’re feeling stressed or angry, why not give it a listen and draw some strength from it?
Critical HitRADWIMPS
This RADWIMPS song powerfully expresses anger and inner conflict.
It’s a track from the album “X to O to Tsumi to,” released in December 2013.
The lyrics portray the feelings of young people wavering between ideals and reality, resonating deeply with listeners.
Using baseball metaphors, the song suggests the possibility of a comeback even in tough situations, offering a sense of hope.
It’s recommended for those feeling stress or anger, or standing at a crossroads in life.
Through music, you can confront your emotions and find the courage to move forward.
