Stress-relief songs to listen to when you’re irritated. Tracks that will clear your head (71–80)
REFRESHSnow Man
An uplifting EDM tune will blow away all the pent-up haze in your heart! It’s a track by Snow Man, the idol group from Johnny & Associates, included on their sixth single “Brother Beat,” released in 2022.
It was also used as the CM song for MINTIA’s “Shunkan Mint Dahō Dance” commercial.
The sharp vocals match perfectly with the cool, stylish track, and the solid low end is irresistible.
It’s the kind of song that feels right cranked up loud!
Do you want me to beat the crap out of you?Kiyoshi Ryujin
This is a song that holds a power so intense it feels like something pent up deep inside your heart bursts free the moment you hear it.
As the title suggests, it channels the kind of fierce anger and helpless frustration we can’t release in everyday life, sublimated through a theatrical approach that even features the voice cast—this is the work’s central theme.
Produced by Ryujin Kiyoshi, it was included on the experimental album “MUSIC,” released in May 2012.
It was also performed at EMI ROCKS 2012 the same year, and later featured on the best-of compilation “BEST,” released in November 2014.
When you’re seething with uncontainable rage, or just want that cathartic rush, why not experience this powerful knockout blow?
Haishinda feat. SAMI-T from Mighty Crownhannya
When you’re fed up with all the negative information flooding society, Hannya’s track is the one that’ll clear your head.
This song packs sharp messages to society and a powerful commitment to self-expression into playful wordplay, making it a truly soul-stirring piece.
With Mighty Crown’s SAMI-T on board, the heat of reggae and dancehall fuses with hip-hop, directly stirring the listener’s emotions.
Originally included in the April 2013 remix compilation “NITRAID PRESENTS THE FUTURE ONES,” it later became a key lead single for the highly acclaimed album “Concert” released in July of the same year.
Whenever daily stress or uncontrollable anger feels like it’s about to make you explode, give it a listen.
Hannya’s powerful rap is guaranteed to sweep away your frustration!
Shakyamuni (the Buddha)RADWIMPS
This song sharply satirizes the arrogance of humans acting as if they were gods, hurling piercing questions at the listener’s heart.
Included on RADWIMPS’s album “Altcolony no Teiri,” released in March 2009, the track has been highly praised since its release for its style in which vocals that weave between singing and rapping race over a sound where programmed beats and live instruments collide intensely.
The depth of its lyrics is another major draw—it even won “BEST LYRIC OF LIFE” at the FM FESTIVAL LIFE MUSIC AWARD in 2009.
If you’re angry at the absurdities you feel in society or everyday life, or burdened by a frustration you can’t shake, listening to this song can feel like a cathartic release, clearing out what’s been pent up deep inside.
It’s a highly recommended track for anyone who wants to feel refreshed.
Give it a listen when you want to charge up your energy for tomorrow!
I wonder if I might die.Kyūso Nekokami
When you feel like you’re being crushed by the irrationality of everyday life, there’s a song that will scream on your behalf.
An early track by Kyuso Nekokami, this aggressive yet danceable number will wash away the grime clinging to your heart.
Featured on the December 2012 album “Daiji na Oshirase,” it’s one of the most crowd-stirring favorites among the 11 tracks, especially at live shows.
Its appeal lies in the exhilarating way the band humorously transforms unspoken negativity and pent-up fury into catharsis.
On days when something feels unforgivable, or on nights when stress has you on the verge of exploding, turn up the volume and give it a listen.
You’ll feel all that buildup flush clean away.
