Yami songs recommended for women
I sometimes think I’m “mentally worn down.”
I believe many people today feel that way.
You can’t say what you want to say, you wear yourself out trying to fit in, and even though you’re smiling, you’re not having any fun at all.
If you keep living like that, your heart might end up breaking without you even noticing.
In this article, I’ll introduce some “yami” songs recommended for women who feel this way.
They lay bare emotions—feelings about love, thoughts toward society—that you normally can’t put into words.
If you feel you’re “struggling,” give them a listen.

Song of FlowersAimer
This is a song that became the theme for the theatrical version of the popular anime Fate.
Throughout the track, it maintains a calm atmosphere and becomes a ballad that showcases Aimer’s distinctive vocals.
Because the lyrics have a high degree of darkness, it seems like a song with many relatable parts when you’re feeling mentally overwhelmed and don’t know what to do.

She’s a female artist who’s attracting attention from a wide range of generations—not just young people—appearing on Music Station and even hitting No.
1 on Twitter’s trending rankings.
This song is a uniquely dark love track with amusing lyrics about love that’s twisted by being a little too obsessed with the other person.
CountdownCocco
Although Cocco gained popularity with her distinctive lyrical world, she once suspended her activities in 2001.
Since resuming, she has released many songs with a brighter tone, but her early works conveyed a destructive worldview.
Her debut single, released in 1997, is this very song.
The explosive guitars and her vocals that erupt in the chorus left a powerful impression.

This is a song by the band Mio Yamazaki, led by Mio, a female vocalist who represents the “menhera” scene.
They are especially popular among women, gaining support as artists who speak for listeners’ troubled sides.
They’re also known for featuring famous reader models and adult video actresses in their music videos.
Everything other than death is just a scratch.Koresawa
Other people might say it’s no big deal, but there are surprisingly many things that feel “tough” to us personally.
This song, “Shinu Koto Igai Kasurikizu” (“Everything but Death Is Just a Scratch”), takes that kind of everyday life in a good, broad-minded way and makes you feel like you can move forward.
That said, it’s not a bright, pep-talk kind of anthem saying “Let’s do our best,” so it’s also recommended when you’re in the mood for a darker, cathartic song.
If you can think, “Everything but death is just a scratch,” a lot of things might start to feel easier.
a May flyRADWIMPS
For those who got hooked on RADWIMPS through their mega-hits “Zenzenzense” and “Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?”, this one song features lyrics so extreme they’ll be beyond imagination.
“May’s Fly” is RADWIMPS’ 16th single, released in 2013, and it drew attention for its provocative words and emotions that verge on terrifying.
It’s a track that conveys such hatred you’ll wonder, can someone really harbor this much resentment? If you listen closely and weigh it against your own worries and feelings, you may even find yourself thinking, maybe I’m not so bad off after all.
I want to meet you in hell.mirukīuei
This song by the Kansai band Milky Way has been getting attention for the striking realism of its lyrics, which are based on real-life experiences.
Despite the lyrics dealing with depression and mental struggles, the catchy melody creates an intriguing contrast.
This track also has dark lyrics but an upbeat feel, so I especially recommend it to women.
Black sheepKeyakizaka46
This song expresses, in straightforward terms, the hardship of living in the present and the pressure to conform.
Shockingly, every member of Keyakizaka46 appears in the music video.
It has a grandeur and darkness that only a large group can create.
The lyrics won’t appeal to everyone, but they’ll likely resonate with young people who are struggling in life or feeling lost.
It’s an unconventional idol song that subverts expectations in a good way.
Lonely HeartsKato Miria
When times are tough, I imagine many women listen to the song “Lonely Hearts.” In its music video, women hurt for various reasons appear, and it’s a song that deeply resonates with women who feel emptiness, loneliness, and an inescapable sense of isolation.
I want the person I love to love me back; I don’t want anyone to hurt me; I want my existence to be acknowledged.
It’s filled with such heartrending feelings, and just listening makes your chest tighten.
It’s a song I hope women going through hard times will listen to.
Stalker’s Song: 3rd Block, Your HouseAbe Mao
Although it has the outrageous title “Stalker’s Song,” when you actually listen, it’s a track with some cute, chuckle-worthy moments.
The lively tune pairs perfectly with Mao Abe’s adorable yet powerful vocals, and the contrast with the slightly deranged lyrics makes it a particularly intriguing song.
