Chakura – Disgust (Official Music Video)

Let me introduce a song that marks a new frontier for Chakra, the four-piece band known for their ‘headlong-charge girls’ band’ tagline.

Released as a digital single in September 2025, this track stands out by weaving piano tones into their traditionally intense guitar rock, bringing the nuances of emotion into sharper focus.

The lyrics, written in down-to-earth language, pierce the heart as they capture the exhaustion of human relationships and feelings that can’t be neatly resolved.

When you’re frustrated from hitting a wall in your studies, or on nights when tangled emotions keep you from concentrating, Sakura’s emotional vocals will speak for your confusion and help dissolve it.

This fan-beloved masterpiece, which gained support alongside their nationwide tour, is the perfect number for settling your mind and getting back to your desk.

Tears of RegretSCANDAL

SCANDAL “Namida no Regret” / Namida no Regret ‐ Music Video

A medium-tempo ballad that delicately portrays the ache of longing and the pains of growing up.

Released by SCANDAL in July 2010 as their seventh single.

It depicts young people gradually becoming adults through a summer farewell.

Tears spilling behind smiles, two silhouettes reflected in a windowpane, and a small nod exchanged in place of “goodbye.” You can feel the emotions where bittersweet memories and regret intertwine.

It’s a song I recommend when you want to recall past love or friendship, or when you’re facing a parting with someone.

This song portrays the pain of losing someone important and the strength to keep looking forward.

It captures the resolve to accept unhealed wounds without hiding them, the bittersweetness of being dazzled by memories that shine too brightly, and the courage to let go without holding the other person back.

Rather than regretting the breakup, the protagonist, who vows to “remain weak yet be strong” while holding gratitude for having met, is deeply moving.

It is a track from yonige’s mini-album “Sanzensekai,” released in August 2021.

A song whose storm of emotion—woven from the sound of rain and a voice on the phone—won’t leave your ears.

The protagonist, who keeps apologizing even while knowing it’s over, embodies the very hesitation we all feel at the moment of parting.

With anger and lingering attachment colliding, this song is sure to resonate when you need to let your feelings out.
