Kiss me hereShiina Ringo
This is Shiina Ringo’s third single, released in 1999.
It’s a masterpiece in the history of Japanese J-ROCK, in which she sings with a sensuality and passion unbelievable for someone in her early twenties about the murky possessiveness of a woman.
The protagonist is a woman with a single-minded love, who even feels jealous when her boyfriend’s eyes follow another woman.
Rather than the straightforward, cute type, she’s someone who isn’t good at leaning on a man or expressing her feelings well—if you’re that kind of woman, these lyrics will probably resonate with you.
Jealousy JealousyMōningu Musume.
Morning Musume.’s “Jealousy Jealousy” lays bare a woman’s true feelings without holding anything back.
Released in 2017 under the name “Morning Musume.’17,” it’s their 63rd single.
While songs about jealousy are often love songs, this one captures a woman’s jealousy toward another woman.
It expresses, in a very straightforward way, the irritation of being compared to others at work or school.
Haven’t we all felt this way at some point? If you consider yourself someone with strong insecurities, you’ll relate to this number all the more.
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.

A person who should be part of a finished relationship but still lives in your heart…
This song is steeped in lingering feelings and bittersweetness.

I imagine some people listened to this track, remembered their own heartbreak, and couldn’t help but cry.

It’s an impressive rock tune with lyrics that candidly lay bare possessiveness and self-loathing in love.

The track was included on the single “Hitomebore e.p.,” released in July 2015, and later featured on the major-label album “woman’s.” It can be considered one of the band’s signature songs, having been performed on Music Station in April 2022.
When you’re struggling with the distance between you and someone you like, and feeling down about your own awkwardness, listening to it may powerfully affirm that pain.
