captiveMr.Children
This song is included on Mr.Children’s fifth album, “Shinkai,” released in 1996.
Judging from the lyrics, it’s a song of jealousy that conveys emotions akin to hatred from a man who’s being two-timed, or who has resigned himself to being second best.
Even though he knows what the woman he loves is doing, he doesn’t confront her; instead, he broods alone, his unspoken feelings tightening in his chest.
If you’ve gone through something similar, it will hit home, won’t it? I can’t help but hope those feelings are rewarded.
Slave of LoveHata Motohiro
“Love’s Slave” — quite a heart-thumping title, isn’t it? This song is included on Motohiro Hata’s 2012 release, the End Roll EP.
It’s a love song that conveys the desire to become a slave to love, even the wish to be that way if it means the other person will keep loving you.
You can really feel just how deeply the singer loves the other person.
For those who feel the same way, it might be a tearjerker.
It’s a track that even makes you a little envious of a love so strong you wouldn’t mind being tied down.
Ingredients of my ex-girlfriendNishikata Riho
This song is written from the perspective of an ex-girlfriend who finds out that her ex, who was unimpressive when they were dating, has become a band guy and is now super popular with girls.
It’s included on Riho Nishikata’s 2020 album “If It Weren’t for Her, I Would’ve Been Lonely.” Like a stalker, she keeps tabs on his actions and gets jealous of the girl next to him now, thinking, “Well, he’s a band guy, so of course he’s got a cute girlfriend already.” When your ex gets cool after you break up, it does make you a bit jealous, doesn’t it?
omnidirectional beautynozomi
A bittersweet love song infused with messages that boost self-esteem.
The lyrics portray a girl who’s captivating from every angle, conveying an attitude that accepts jealousy and envy as forms of affection.
Nozomi’s transparent vocals and the refined melody really resonate.
Released in January 2024, the track went viral on TikTok and gained attention through its use in videos by K-pop artists.
It’s a recommended song for anyone struggling with love or looking to gain confidence.
Sing it at karaoke, and it’s sure to warm the hearts of those around you.

Collectionkome kome CLUB
One of the tracks on Kome Kome Club’s 1987 album “KOMEGUNY,” titled “Collection.” The song portrays the feelings of a protagonist who is keeping the person they love locked up so they won’t escape, along with the terrified state of that person.
It’s a song that inevitably brings the word “abduction and confinement” to mind… When the captive pleads to go home, the protagonist replies, “It’ll definitely be fun,” exuding an extraordinary sense of madness.
There are many songs about loving someone so much you want to lock them up, but perhaps few where they actually do.
Recommended if you’re in the mood for a thoroughly deranged track.
You look beautiful now.Miyuhan
Miyuhan, who is active in many fields as a singer-songwriter and voice actress.
The song “Kirei ni Natta yo” (You’ve Become Beautiful) is a track from her third album “Pu.” released in 2020.
When it comes to love, isn’t “possessiveness” an inseparable theme? Even if you don’t think you’re being that controlling, it can feel very heavy to the other person—people have different scales for these things.
In this song, she reflects on how her possessiveness was too strong toward the boyfriend who left her, yet also expresses gratitude for the many things she realized because of their breakup.
Kill my ex-boyfriendGōruden Bonbā
Is there anyone who thinks the mega-hit Memeshikute is so famous that it makes all their other songs seem overshadowed? Well, this one is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that absolutely goes off at live shows.
The fan chant “Mo-To-Ka-Re-Ko-Ro-Su” would’ve been broadcast-prohibited in another era, perhaps.
That kind of calculated edge is part of Golden Bomber’s appeal.
As the title suggests, the lyrics express a wish to ‘kill your ex-boyfriend.’ There’s even a hilariously cheeky line offering, “You can kill my ex-girlfriend instead,” which gives the song a comedic twist.
It’s a track where jealousy goes so far that it actually becomes fun.
