Love SpiritsChatto Monchī
Chatmonchy’s “Renai Spirits” is a track that brings an unexpectedly aching, painful feeling—far beyond what the title suggests.
Released in 2006 as Chatmonchy’s second single, the song was created from vocalist Eriko Hashimoto’s real-life experience, drawing on notes she wrote when she was about to confess her feelings.
The lyrics are a string of very simple words and never overtly direct, yet that simplicity pierces the heart, making it a love song that can move you to tears.
If you’ve ever been in a similar situation, you’ll likely find it impossible to listen without crying.
Karada no KankeiYUTORI-SEDAI
YUTORI-SEDAI’s track, which portrays a bittersweet longing for love, has women hooked.
Featuring emotional lyrics centered on the pain of heartbreak and a distinctive rock sound that fuses acoustic and electric elements, the song was released in August 2022.
It ties thematically to the previous single, “Summer Trigger,” vividly expressing the raw emotions of a woman who’s been toyed with.
The lyrics empathize with women struggling in love and will resonate when you feel like you’re just a “convenient girl.” It’s a highly recommended song for anyone who wants to cry their heart out and then face tomorrow with renewed strength.
Give me a gentle kiss.DREAMS COME TRUE
Yasashii Kiss wo Shite, written by the nationally popular artist DREAMS COME TRUE as the theme song for the TBS drama “Suna no Utsuwa,” is a single released in 2004.
It became a hit, reaching No.
2 on the Oricon charts.
Many artists have covered this song.
It’s a heartrending track about wanting to stay by someone’s side, even if you’re just a convenient woman.
It’s also a karaoke staple, so singing it is a great way to blow off stress.
convenient womaninugami saakasu dan
The band Inugami Circus-dan tends to be treated as a novelty act because of their visuals.
Many of their song titles are eerie, and this one is, quite literally, titled “Convenient Woman.” The lyrics are consistently dramatic: you think it’s a typical love story, but then comes a sudden twist—the partner is actually married, and the protagonist has been deceived! There must be more than a few people who’ve experienced a romance like this; surely they’d feel their emotions boil over with anger and resentment, just like the song’s protagonist.
makeupNakajima Miyuki
Kesho (Makeup), included on Miyuki Nakajima’s fourth album “Aishiteiru to Itte Kure” released in 1978.
In Nakajima’s inimitable style, it calmly depicts the feelings of a woman weighed down by sorrow and helplessness—the emotions of a woman who puts on makeup to look beautiful for the man she’ll part with tonight, wanting to make him regret it.
He probably already has another woman; she knew it, and yet in the end she wanted to be loved—wanted him to love only her.
The song overflows with the woman’s heartbreakingly raw feelings.
It’s okaykuriipuhaipe
The song “Daijoubu” is included on the 2014 album If We Can’t Become One, Then at Least Let’s Be Just the Two of Us.
Many of CreepHyp’s songs give the impression of being written from a woman’s perspective, and this track is also sung as if spoken from a female point of view.
Rather than expressing the anxiety of wondering, “Am I being used?”, it conveys the image of a woman who is simply gentle and reassuring.
It communicates the kindness and single-minded devotion of a woman who can’t abandon a so-called “no-good man,” and it makes you, in turn, want to worry about this goddess-like woman.
