Stress-relief songs to listen to when you’re irritated: tracks that make you feel refreshed (21–30)
AmbivalentKeyakizaka46
This is “Ambivalent,” the seventh single by Keyakizaka46, known for its cool image and striking dance performances.
The song expresses the slightly contradictory emotions everyone has—being torn between two feelings.
It conveys the conflict of loving solitude yet recognizing that humans can’t live alone.
The dance is breathtaking, and it’s a track you’ll want to listen to while watching the music video to feel refreshed.
Junkie DownFushi
A perfect track by Fushi to blow away your frustration.
Depicting the struggle between self-improvement and self-destruction, this piece captures emotional turmoil and the battle against societal expectations with dynamic melodies and lyrical lyrics.
Released in April 2024, it’s an addictive rock tune ideal for those moments when you’re worn out by daily life or want to face yourself.
Surrender to the razor-sharp sound and give it a listen!
Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki
This is “Sayonara Elegy,” the third single by Masaki Suda, who is active not only as an actor but also as a singer.
This song, which carries a touch of nostalgia, was written and composed by singer-songwriter Huwie Ishizaki.
The lyrics convey loneliness and emptiness, yet somehow give the feeling that you can find, or will find, a glimmer of light somewhere.
With Suda’s driving guitar, even your frustrations feel like they could be blown away.
Shut up.Ado
Many people probably feel like they’re being crushed by daily stress—screaming on the inside but unable to say anything out loud, right? I think that’s a big reason Ado’s song “Usseewa” became a hit: people really related to it and thought, “So true!” Wanting to speak up but not being able to—when that builds up, it’s bad for your health.
If you can’t say it, try belting this song out in your head to let off steam.
Cranking it up loud will make you feel refreshed, too!
Rebootmiwa
Many people find it calming to listen to cool songs with female vocals.
If that sounds like you, miwa’s “Reboot” is highly recommended.
This song was also used as the theme for the TBS drama “Nagi’s Long Vacation.” The rock sound pairs perfectly with miwa’s voice, and you’ll find yourself completely drawn in.
By the time you reach the end, you’ll naturally feel more at ease.
FateOfisharu Higedan Dism
Official HIGE DANDism shot to stardom in 2019.
They’re a popular band known for addictive high-tone vocals and beautiful melodies.
Their song “Shukumei” was also a major hit in 2019—you probably heard it everywhere, from the streets to TV.
Starting with a gentle, conversational delivery, it gradually builds and then bursts into an energetic chorus.
It’s a refreshing, stress-relieving track that’s perfect for when you’re feeling irritated.
DADARADWIMPS
When negative emotions start to pile up, I want to let them out with this song—RADWIMPS’s “DADA.” Released as a single in 2011, the title “DADA” comes from things like “Dadaism” and “throwing a tantrum.” When you’re irritated, your thoughts get scattered and you don’t know what to do, right? These lyrics have parts that straighten out those thoughts and bring you back to basics with an “Oh, I see.” With its intense rhythm and piercing words, it’ll surely leave you feeling refreshed.
