Stress-relief songs to listen to when you’re irritated: tracks that make you feel refreshed (21–30)
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.
InfernoMrs. GREEN APPLE
When you’re feeling irritated, many people probably want to listen to intense rock sounds.
For you, I recommend Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s “Inferno.” Its sound features heavily distorted electric guitars front and center, so just listening to it can relieve stress.
The music video is cool too, so be sure to check out the visuals as well.
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!
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.
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.
Horse and deerYonezu Kenshi
When you’re feeling irritated, you might prefer calmer, more mellow songs over upbeat ones.
For people like that, Kenshi Yonezu’s “Uma to Shika” is highly recommended.
This song also drew attention as the theme song for the TV drama “No Side Game.” With its gentle yet grand sound, it may gradually soothe negative feelings like impatience, anxiety, and irritation as you listen.
ManifestoSuperfly
The bluesy sound feels really good to listen to! It’s a song by the music unit Superfly, released in 2007 as their second single.
The lyrics carry a message of “living true to yourself,” giving you the courage to face unpleasant things and troubles.
And Shiho Ochi’s soulful vocals are wonderful! I recommend it when you want something refreshing to listen to—you’ll feel clear in both mind and body.
