[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.

A heartwarming song with an emotionally rich story and a universal message has arrived from Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

Recommended for those who want to keep moving forward while valuing their true selves and for anyone seeking the courage to take a new step.

I don’t mind being unhappy for the rest of my life – Mafumafu

A heartfelt anthem by Mafumafu that earnestly sings of the pain of living—a song from the soul.

The fact that there was a time he couldn’t sing at all invites even deeper empathy.

It’s a memorable track with a strong focus on spoken lines and message.

It questions the imposition of values by parents and those around you, powerfully expressing a young person’s cry for a life that stays true to themselves.

This ambitious work showcases RADWIMPS’ keen insight and expressive power, with spoken passages woven throughout the lyrics that create a dramatic progression.

The song was included on a single released in May 2017, and is said to have had the working title “Religion.” Another intriguing point is that it was produced using sampled drum recordings from Satoshi Yamaguchi, who was on hiatus at the time.

In karaoke, the expressiveness of the spoken parts becomes especially important, and by singing with genuine emotion, you can uncover new layers of interpretation.

It’s a piercing message song that resonates with people who feel life is hard or who lack confidence in their own values.
