[Songs of Jealousy and Possessiveness] A Curated Selection of Popular Tracks to Listen to When Overwhelmed by Possessiveness (41–50)
Hidden in the sandindigo la End
It’s a song that portrays a bittersweet love story: even though the narrator loves the person so much they want to keep them all to themselves, they can’t bring themselves to be honest, and before they realize it, the other person’s feelings have shifted to someone else.
The protagonist is so afraid that loving someone will eventually lead to an ending that they can’t even begin the relationship.
They don’t show it in their expressions or actions, but you can feel their affection and their wish to be loved in return.
Possessiveness can have negative effects when it goes too far, but at its core, it might be a bittersweet wish like the one depicted in this song.

Sayuri’s “Heikousen,” which was used as the theme song for the anime Scum’s Wish, fits perfectly with the show’s murky, entangled relationships and its thick, messy portrayal of love.
Sayuri’s voice—fragile, almost precarious—really hits the mark.
Even the title “Heikousen” (Parallel Lines) carries this overwhelming sense of hopelessness, which I also love.

When it comes to love songs, Kana Nishino is the go-to artist.
She has long spoken for the feelings of many women and is especially relatable and beloved by younger women.
Her song “Namidairo” (Tear-Colored) is another love song that only she could create.
As she reminisces about an old flame, memories of the happy times come flooding back, and everything becomes tinged with sadness and regret.
She expresses those helpless emotions in a straightforward way, so be sure to give it a listen.
