Please don’t be happy.Kobasoro feat. Harucha
A title that feels strikingly real and raw: “Please Don’t Be Happy.” There are many songs that wish for someone else’s happiness, but you rarely hear one that does it this directly.
If you found out you’d been cheated on, what would you do? You’d probably feel betrayed and resentful, and feel you can’t stay together anymore.
This song perfectly captures those emotions, and it’s packed with a candid wish toward the other person afterward: please don’t be happy with anyone but me.
Yet you can still sense the lingering love—the song portrays a heart in turmoil, pulled between conflicting feelings.

The content may seem almost deranged, yet beneath it lies pure love—she’s hopelessly, overwhelmingly in love with him.
Love is complicated, isn’t it?

The opening lyrics begin with the album title, making a strong impact.
Throughout the song there are many rhyming lines, and despite it being a song about betrayal and resentment, it’s strangely refreshing and pleasant to listen to.
While it has a comedic touch, the figure of the protagonist ultimately overcoming sorrow and moving forward is likely to give listeners courage.
not enoughwacci
This is a heartbreak song overflowing with poignancy, capturing the emotional turmoil of trying to sever lingering feelings for an ex.
Featured on wacci’s 2019 album Empathy, the track stands out for its lyrics written from a woman’s perspective.
Though she still has feelings, the protagonist’s struggle to choose a clean break in order to move forward is deeply affecting.
Positioned as a side story to “Betsu no Hito no Kanojo ni Natta yo,” a one-take recording was also released in 2020.
It’s a must-listen for anyone who’s gone from mutual love to one-sided, or who wants to move on but can’t quite bring themselves to do it.
I heard you’ve turned into a loser.chanmina
A track that hits her boyfriend with a straight punch—brought to you by Chanmina, aka the Beyoncé of Nerima.
Chanmina’s song titles often stand out as unusual, like “A Song I Saved in the Archive” and “Shameless.” This one, “I Heard You Turned into Trash,” also feels like a title laced with irony.
The lyrics are a snarky account of the post-breakup contrast: “I’m managing to live on my own after the heartbreak, but you’re already fooling around with another girl, aren’t you?” Even within the rap, you can feel hints of rock.
