You, a piece of trashDomura Riu
You think the other person is a “piece of trash,” yet for some reason you just can’t leave… Some of you may know that kind of love.
This song is by Riu Domura, a singer from Hyogo Prefecture who previously performed under the name Shonen D, and it was released in 2019.
It’s included on the first album, “Kono Kioku o Nukereba.” Layering confessional lyrics over a track with a shadowy feel, it portrays the emotions of a protagonist being toyed with by their lover.
I hope they find a love that truly rewards them…
scumbag man and stupid womanDomura Riu
A work that sharply depicts the feelings of a man and woman drowning in a bittersweet relationship and delivers a searing social message.
With Riu Domura’s distinctive perspective and expressive power, it unsparingly narrates the dynamic between an irresponsible man and a devoted woman.
Capturing the man’s self-centered behavior and the woman’s loneliness with striking clarity, the piece lays bare the distorted view of romance in contemporary society.
Released in April 2024 as one of the tracks on the album “Irregular Diary,” this work resonates deeply amid complex emotions and can be seen as a message to everyone struggling with love.
Crazy Danceryoru no honki dansu
Yoru no Honki Dance is a four-piece dance-rock band based in Kyoto.
As their name suggests, they produce many upbeat, danceable tracks.
Among them, I’d like to highlight Crazy Dancer from their first major-label album.
It’s a track with a pleasantly edgy guitar sound.
Once you hear it, you’ll surely want to check out their other songs as well.
They’re also regulars at various festivals, so I hope you’ll check out their live performances, too.
Christmas NightOku Hanako
This is a heartbreak song set at Christmas by singer-songwriter Hanako Oku, who has created many tear-jerking breakup songs.
Released in 2018, it was used in a LINE commercial, so many people may have heard it.
It’s a ballad featuring a beautiful, familiar melody line—one of the hallmarks of her music.
The lyrics depict a man who can’t quite let go of his ex-girlfriend, yet even as he clings to his feelings, he wishes for her happiness.
His straightforward, earnest feelings are deeply moving.
wedge (kusabi)Oku Hanako
You can’t easily forget the happy days you spent with your lover, can you? “Kusabi (Wedge),” a song that gently stays close to the hearts of those who feel lonely, was released in 2015 by singer-songwriter Hanako Oku.
She has performed it since her indie days, and it has earned strong popularity among fans.
Its piano sound, resonant with majestic strings, is striking.
The poignant lyrics, which bring back memories of someone precious, are sure to bring tears.
It’s a dramatic piano ballad especially for those who feel, “I can’t help wanting to get in touch with that person…”
Headless Angeljoōbachi
Queen Bee’s masterpiece “Headless Angel.” When you think of Queen Bee, you probably picture those striking vocals that incorporate an unusually high falsetto, right? This song is exactly one of those, featuring many phrases where you need to beware of the soaring high notes.
Among them, the chorus stands out as overwhelmingly difficult.
After a B-melody grounded in the mid-to-low range, you have to shoot the pitch up suddenly and sing the chorus in a very high falsetto—and keeping the pitch under control here is incredibly tough! On top of that, the falsetto section is long, so strong endurance is also required.
Speculative Mythologyyōsei teikoku
As their name suggests, Fairy Empire captivates listeners with a mysterious worldview that feels as if it leapt from another realm.
Since their formation in 1997, they have crafted a unique sound that weaves techno and gothic elements into metal.
The tracks on the album Metanoia, in particular, balance dynamism and delicacy, and they have not lost their luster even long after its 2010 release.
This work opened a new door for girls’ metal and won over many fans beyond genre boundaries.
It’s the perfect song for the theme.
