Recommended melancholic songs for women (11–20)
around two o’clockaiko
When it comes to love songs, many people immediately think of aiko.
This is a song quintessentially her, capturing the pain and the butterflies of love.
It’s popular for its unique perspective: the protagonist has been cheated on, yet the song explores what happens if she tries to sing about it as positively as possible.
If someone felt about me the way the lyrics describe, I’d find them so dear that I could never cheat.
It’s a song that portrays a woman’s heart—bright yet anguished, and pure.
Fruit of SandNakatani Miki
Right from the start, starkly troubled lyrics come straight at you.
The music video has a finish that exudes mature allure.
You could call it a bit old-school, but it’s incredibly captivating.
The song doesn’t modulate for a while, letting you sink into its world.
In the final section, tenderness is packed with a poignant ache, offering both comfort and melancholy.
It ends with an air of ambiguity that even feels a little eerie.
Loss and LiesKurahashi Yoeko
When you listen to it casually, it hardly sounds like a depressing song.
But once you look at the lyrics… it all makes sense.
Wanting to be loved by the one you love is something everyone feels in romance.
However, the woman in this song doesn’t care how little he pays attention to her; even if he insults her, she just wants to be by his side.
She’s satisfied even with words of love that lack truth—that’s how deep her feelings are.
It’s a love song for women so in love they can’t stop themselves, no matter what.
Show me your phone.MAISONdes feat. HashiMero, maeshima soshi
A song that vividly portrays a woman’s overpowering feelings and love that make her absolutely determined to check her boyfriend’s smartphone.
It may be quite scary for men to listen to, but the pop sound that unfolds over a short runtime is really cool, so give it a try! This is the track that brought Hashimero into the spotlight, released as a single in June 2023 by MAISONdes together with maeshima soshi.
It also drew attention when a parody version was used in a Nissin Cup Noodles commercial in March 2024.
If you find yourself feeling anxious about your partner’s actions or words, definitely give it a listen.
I’d rather die.Fuji Kaze
This is a song by Fujii Kaze that expresses an extreme sentiment—preferring death over parting from the one you love.
Despite its light, jazz- and R&B-infused sound that doesn’t feel gloomy, don’t you sense a touch of darkness for a straightforward love song in the lyrics that depict an excessive obsession with the other person? It’s filled with lingering regret about not wanting to suffer remorse after losing them, suggesting that the feeling of love for the other person has become distorted.
The song is included on the album “HELP EVER HURT NEVER,” released in May 2020, and it was performed on a TV program in December 2022.
It’s a track I’d recommend to anyone whose feelings for someone have reached a peak and who is feeling suffocated.
Menhera-chanKyūso Nekokami
Even though they were the one who confessed to you, you always get told you’re “too much” and end up getting dumped.
For you, here’s a song I want you to hear: “Menhera-chan” by Kyuso Nekokami, released in 2017.
It’s natural to constantly wonder where your crush is and what they’re doing, right? This song captures the honest feelings of a guy who’s dating a girl like that.
That said, the guy who makes her feel anxious has his share of blame too, doesn’t he…?

Absolute relationshipakai kouen
“Absolute Relationship,” written as the theme song for the 2014 drama Lost Days.
The track is only about 100 seconds long, but it’s striking and really sticks in your head.
The lyrics vividly portray probing intentions and desire, perfectly linking with the drama’s world.
It takes real courage to trust someone and place yourself in their hands, doesn’t it? I especially recommend this song to anyone worn out by human relationships.
While it’s a ‘dark’ song, its speed and groove keep it from feeling too heavy, making it very easy to listen to!
