Rights-Bought GirlUtsu P
Vocaloid producer Utsu-P delivers rock sounds infused with loud and screamo to listeners.
Among his tracks, one that especially resonates with gloomy moods is “Purchased-Rights Girl,” produced in 2022.
Its passionate band sound, unfolding with a modern flair, leaves a strong impression.
It carries a powerful message from a woman living in a glamorous world.
It’s a number where you can fully savor Seikai’s singing—both cute and strong.
Give this energetic rock tune a listen; it wraps up feelings of loneliness and anxiety.
CageOnitsuka Chihiro
This is their third single, released in 2000.
The lyrics are striking for their portrayal of unstable emotions: the intense anxiety that strikes when you’re alone, and the way you cling to good memories from the past as if to fill a missing piece in your heart.
The up-tempo sound, featuring a light, airy piano tone, is also memorable.
In contrast to the dark mood of the lyrics, it seems to express a restless urge to escape from the present place and emotions that waver without settling.
Careful With That Axe, EugenePink Floyd
It’s a masterpiece that lets you experience an indescribable kind of fear—completely different from the intentionally staged terror of background music! It’s a hidden early gem by Pink Floyd, the pinnacle of British progressive rock and a band that also achieved record-breaking commercial success.
The song first appeared as the B-side to the UK single “Point Me at the Sky,” released in 1968.
Even though it was a B-side, it was frequently performed live at the time, which shows how important a place it held in their repertoire.
It’s packed with the psychedelic atmosphere characteristic of their early work, and the impact of the moment when bassist and vocalist Roger Waters suddenly lets out a scream as if he’s gone mad is absolutely staggering.
Also note that it was re-recorded and included in the soundtrack to Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1970 masterpiece Zabriskie Point under the new title “Come in Number 51 (Your Time Is Up).”

Their songs, crafted through tight teamwork among the members, are uniquely theirs.
With their distinctive sound and live performances, they captivate music fans looking for fresh challenges.

Somehow todayShugā Beibu
This is a signature song that captures the youthful spirit of Sugar Babe.

Perhaps Sugar Babe’s charm lies in the way they evoke a dry, breezy feel without getting overly heated.
The Curse That Won’t FadeHisaishi Joe
This is a very quiet, very short track.
It’s a simple soundscape made up almost entirely of short notes, but midway through, a piano descends the scale like steps, oozing with eeriness.
The music doesn’t say much, which all the more underscores the gravity of the “curse that won’t fade.” Wondering what kind of curse that is? Watch the film and see for yourself.
