hard mode girlfriendnyamura

The lyrics depict a wish to spend time alone with a loved one.
At first listen it seems like a cute love song, but it actually takes the theme of someone stalking another person online.
The methods used and the stalker’s state of mind are portrayed so realistically that it’s frightening.

StarDustSound Horizon
A song by Sound Horizon that was selected in the 2010 “Scariest Lyrics as Chosen by JOYSOUND Users.” From the lyrics, it depicts a woman betrayed by a man who takes revenge by staining his white clothes red.
Taken at face value, it’s simply a scary song, but it also portrays the unbearable feelings of the woman and a pure love so intense it turns into madness, making it a very heartrending track to listen to.
It seems like a cautionary tale for men: don’t toy with women.
bakeneko (a supernatural/shape-shifting cat in Japanese folklore)Kitanitatsuya
A song that delicately weaves words to capture complex feelings—an admixture of tenderness and distance—toward a being known as a bakeneko.
A chance encounter in the stillness of night, the averted gaze, and a mystical aura.
Though you long to draw close, the other won’t easily open their heart; these emotions are portrayed through a distinctive perspective and poetic expression.
Released as a digital single in December 2022, the track went viral—especially on Spotify—even before its official debut, drawing significant attention.
If you’ve ever loved someone but struggled to convey that feeling, you won’t be able to help but relate to these lyrics.
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!
