[Menhera & Yandere] A Love Song So Devoted It Hurts (61–70)
I’m not mentally unstable!isana

This is a Vocaloid track produced by Isana.
Featuring a memorable duet by Hatsune Miku and Otomachi Una, the song candidly expresses low self-esteem and frustration with society, yet its lyrics still convey a somewhat positive message.
The recurring phrase “I’m not a basket case” carries a strong will to protect oneself.
It’s a song that can resonate with people who feel worn out by daily life or struggle with self-confidence.
Why not listen to it and use it as a chance to honestly acknowledge your own feelings?
domestic violenceAdo

A song I want you to listen to when you can’t stop thinking about someone you like and your feelings grow too intense is “Domestic Violence.” It’s included on Ado’s 2022 album Kyogen; Ado is known for hits like “Usseewa.” The glossy sound that unfolds in a gothic world is cool, and many will relate to the lyrics about love becoming heavy and emotions running high.
It’s a track that portrays the adorable yet heartrending side of “yandere,” where you feel anxious despite being in love.
BirthdayNaisho no piasu

A soul-stirring track woven by Secret Pierce.
In delicate words, it portrays a protagonist so desperate for a deep bond with their beloved that they become convinced they can’t live without them.
Lyrics like “I want to be together even if I melt and rot” convey a powerful desire to become completely one with the other person.
Released in November 2023, this song will resonate deeply with those who feel they’re drowning in love or can’t recover from the pain of a broken heart.
If you’re okay with itSukima Suichi

It seems Skima Switch fans have a mysterious ability: they can tell whether a song was written by Ohashi or Tokita.
Maybe the quirks that come from composing on piano versus guitar show up in the melody? This song, “Kimi ga Ii nara,” defied fans’ expectations—many thought Ohashi wrote it, but it turns out it’s by Tokita.
So even fans get it wrong sometimes.
As the title suggests, it’s about a man who’ll grant any wish—“If it’s what you want, I’ll do it.” He sounds reliable, but maybe a little scary too? If consideration for your partner gets called “scary,” there’s not much a guy can do, right?
dilemmaDECO*27

Dilemma is a track released in 2022 by the Vocaloid producer DECO*27 that sings of a love you can’t give up on even after breaking up.
The lyrics portray emotions like, “There’s no way I can accept breaking up when you don’t even understand how much love I’ve poured into this!” The heartbreak of knowing you can’t go back to the time when you didn’t love them anymore is understandable in some ways, but the way it lashes out with an ‘No way!’ more than tears is pretty heavy, isn’t it? Still, some of you might be thinking, maybe I’d end up like this too.
sweet fruitSuga Shikao

This song was released both as a 12 cm maxi single and an 8 cm single.
Just hearing “8 cm single” really takes you back, doesn’t it? The lyrics begin with something like: I felt like there was someone on the other end of the phone, but is someone there now? Are you really alone right now?—gently pressing the other person.
It feels kind of suffocating, like being controlled or watched, which is scary.
Maybe this is a form of expressing love too… The melody line even sounds like background music from a horror movie.
It’s also included on Shikao Suga’s “THE BEST -1997–2011-.” If you want to listen on repeat, definitely give it a try!
Crime and PunishmentShiina Ringo

Many people probably associate the song “Crime and Punishment” with that unforgettable music video featuring Ringo Sheena with her eyebrows completely shaved off and a car split clean in two, right? Once you’ve seen it, you can’t forget it.
The track appears on the 2000 album “Shōso Strip.” The lyrics conjure the image of a woman who feels isolated.
It’s not quite anger or sadness—perhaps the word “emptiness” fits best.
According to Sheena, the lyrics were drawn from a diary she kept while she was hospitalized at the time.
