Stress-relief songs to listen to when you’re irritated: tracks that will make you feel refreshed (51–60)
「F」Makishimamu Za Horumon
It’s Maximum the Hormone’s 8th single, and it was used as a battle theme in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’.
The vocals, death growls, and melody all have a great groove.
I tried singing it at karaoke and ended up biting the inside of my mouth and bleeding everywhere.
It’s impossible for amateurs.
Try listening to it when you’re irritated to blow off some steam.
down timerRetobea
“Downtimer” is the second digital single released in 2023 by Retobear, a project from the popular Vocaloid producer Kairiki Bear.
It was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime REVENGER.
The lyrics, which declare that “even if you don’t know what’s right, you have no choice but to move forward,” convey a sense of desperate resolve and strength.
The intricately played sixteenth-note piano in the intro and the synth sounds throughout the track create a thrilling sense of speed, making it refreshingly exhilarating to listen to.
I’m human.Gōruden Bonbā
If you want something to listen to when you’re feeling frustrated, I recommend “Ningenda” by Golden Bomber.
It’s a track from their 2023 album “COMPACT DISC,” and it’s a rock tune that kicks off with an awesome shout.
The hard sound that makes you want to headbang and the compelling lyrics that ask who you really are are especially striking.
If something’s got you down and you want to let it all out, definitely give “Ningenda” a listen!

In 2020, the rock band [Alexandros] reached a turning point when drummer Akinori Shomura gracefully stepped down.
Their song features a guitar riff in the intro that sticks in your ear after just one listen—despite using only four notes, it’s catchy and perfectly matches the image of its title, “Wataridori,” making it a standout phrase that truly defines the track.
The driving drum rhythm and high-register vocals deliver a refreshing feel that helps you forget daily stress, and it’s the kind of song that, if you listen to it before heading out, lets you start the day with a bright, invigorated mood.

RewriteASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
Released in 2004 and still one of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s signature songs, Rewrite is a track loved by many.
It gained broad popularity after being used as a theme song for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
The song bursts from muddled, pent-up emotions into a chorus that explodes with a punchy, almost combative surge—making it a perfect fit for anyone feeling irritated.
If you want to level everything flat and start over, or feel like smashing what’s there and rebuilding, this song comes highly recommended.
MiracleGReeeeN
It’s GReeeeN’s 7th single and the theme song for the drama ROOKIES.
The melody is catchy, and the clear, powerful vocals can be refreshing to listen to when you’re feeling irritated.
Also, a film titled “Kiseki: Sobito of That Day,” which focuses on the birth of “Kiseki,” was released on January 28, 2017.
I think it’s a recommended movie for GReeeeN fans.
Linda LindaTHE BLUE HEARTS
THE BLUE HEARTS, remembered as a legendary punk band that represents Japan.
They’re a group loved across generations, not just by fans from back in the day.
Their song “Linda Linda,” released in 1987, was their major-label debut single and remains one of their signature tracks.
It’s been covered by many artists, so plenty of younger listeners have likely heard it, too.
With its explosive chorus and relentlessly charging lyrics that blow away frustration, it’s also a hugely popular karaoke staple.
