Turn on the TV and the world is overflowing with sad news.
You want to do something, but you can’t do anything.
Don’t you ever end up hating yourself for that helplessness? That cry of the heart is what RADWIMPS’ “Kyoshinsho” (Angina) sings about.
In a world where sorrow never ends, you get so angry you even want to complain to God.
This is a song I’d love for you to listen to in those moments.

This is “Noroi” (“Curse”), a song by Hako Yamasaki released in 1979.
I think there are times when we end up hating someone so much we feel like cursing them.
When those feelings surface, don’t you feel overwhelmed with guilt and find it hard to breathe? In those moments, please listen to this song.
Realizing “I’m not the only one who feels this way” should ease your heart.
Although it’s a dark, ominous piece, you could also say it’s a warm song that absorbs the darkness in people’s hearts.
worst; minimum; the lowest; awfulIvy to Fraudulent Game
Amid a dreamlike, piano-centered soundscape, this work quietly resonates with self-denial and loneliness.
Included on Ivy to Fraudulent Game’s major-label debut album “Kaiten suru,” released in December 2017, it was written and composed by drummer Yuya Fukushima.
The lyrics, which portray the feelings of blaming oneself for not meeting expectations and the pressure of a cornered heart, really hit home.
Give it a listen on nights weighed down by self-loathing.
