curseYamazaki Hako
This is “Noroi” (“Curse”), a song by Hako Yamasaki released in 1979.

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.

Yuki-kun, you know…narumiya
This unsettling yet heartrending song portrays a girl who can’t quite fit into everyday life, speaking one-sidedly to her imaginary friend.
The vocalist is Narumiya, a rising creator who handles everything from lyrics and composition to mixing.
Released on November 21, 2025, the track delves deeply into themes of dependency and inner darkness—so much so that the artist calls it “the most problematic work I’ve ever made.” It’s an addictive number that pierces the heart of anyone who’s ever wished, on a lonely night, for someone to listen.
Supporting Actress Syndromeback number
It’s a song that vividly portrays a hopeless love—one where the narrator, fully aware they’ll never be “the one,” continues a relationship in which they’re called on only when convenient.
Released as the B-side to back number’s 2012 single Aoi Haru and later included on the album blues, it depicts a protagonist who sarcastically acknowledges settling for an ambiguous relationship yet can’t stop the feelings that grow with every time they sleep together.
The fear that putting it into words would break everything keeps them swallowing the decisive confession, a detail that feels painfully real.
The groovy sound—highlighted by what Iyori Shimizu has called the standout bass line before the second chorus—is another draw, and the song became so beloved by fans that it even spawned a sequel, Supporting Actress Syndrome 2.
lipstickKato Miria
As the queen of breakup songs, Miliyah Kato was especially popular among young women.
In 2019, news of her marriage surprised the public.
Many of the tracks she released were heavy, emotionally charged love songs.
Among them, “Lipstick” really conveys that pained, troubled state of mind.
If there are men who think women dress up just for fun, this is definitely a song you’ll want them to hear!
Buddha Statue Murder Caseshūkyō hōjin maraya
Their unit name is Malaya, a borderline idol religious corporation.
The borderline vibe shows up not only in their idol name but also in their song titles, and at live shows they exhibit eccentric behavior, like grabbing other idols by the collar and starting fights.
Their songs and actions are unusual, but their appeal lies in their very cute looks.
magic mirrorOmori Seiko
This is “Magic Mirror,” a song by Seiko Oomori, the ally of mentally fragile girls.
Outstanding vocal prowess, raw lyrics, fluffy costumes—her existence is chaos, and her songs shine a spotlight on people’s everyday lives.
When you have a dark side within you, it’s only natural to worry whether others will accept it.
Let’s reveal ourselves without fear!
MetronomeYonezu Kenshi
This is Metronome, sung by singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu.
Just as two pendulum metronomes that start swinging at the same tempo gradually fall out of sync over time, couples, too, can stop getting along.
You wonder where those early feelings went, but there’s nothing you can do.
It’s a common story, yet it’s truly heartbreaking.
