That rumored kidmurasaki ima
This is a yandere song that portrays being so overwhelmingly in love with someone that you’re practically high.
Released by Murasaki Kon in April 2025, it unfolds after the acclaimed album eMulsion from the same year and spread without any film or TV tie-ins.
It depicts a state where both body and mind are abnormal, craving the other so intensely it could be called mad love, unable to let go; the brisk pacing is addictive.
Wanting to know everything about the person you love, you sink deeper and deeper into darkness…
When the mere fact that they exist is what constitutes your life, that’s a pretty severe case.
Let these overflowing feelings for your beloved wash over you—give it a listen even when you’re feeling down or troubled.
No way I’m going to forget it.SHISHAMO
It’s a track that directly captures the searing anger of heartbreak alongside a suffocating depth of love.
Its melody shifts from a reggae-style beat to rock in the chorus, carrying an undercurrent of hatred toward the other person, yet by the end, a poignant sense of being unable to forget seeps through, making the pain stand out more than the fear.
Released as the fifth track on the album “SHISHAMO 6,” which came out in January 2020, this song brings to mind the phrase “love and hate are two sides of the same coin.” It’s a must-listen for anyone who finds something unforgivable precisely because they love.
