[Menhera & Yandere Songs] Carefully selected love songs so devoted it hurts! (81–90)
voiceAmano Tsukiko
A song by singer-songwriter Tsukiko Amano, who now performs under the name “Tsuki Amano.” Fitting for its use as the ending theme of a horror game, the lyrics leave a lingering impression of madness.
The A and B sections unfold with a heavy rhythm centered on piano and strings, while the chorus brings the powerful yet fragile vocals and guitar to the forefront—faithfully reflecting the lyrical imagery while remaining compelling to listen to.
Even if you don’t know the game, it’s a track with a strong, immersive worldview that draws you in.
mellowShiina Ringo
Mellow, a classic by Sheena Ringo, was included on the 2000 album Zecchōshū and later received a music video in 2008.
Her songs are notoriously hard to interpret due to their distinctive world-building, and while the true meaning of this track remains unclear, lyrics that profess love while brandishing a knife at the beloved bring to mind the idea that love and hate are two sides of the same coin.
It’s a song I’d recommend when you’re torn between affection and resentment.
The contrast between the song’s fierce sound and the almost fairy-tale feel of the music video is astonishing!
Dangerous Playkuriipuhaipe
A Creephyp song themed around forbidden love and desire.
It weaves in the impulse to touch what should not be touched and the bittersweet feelings surrounding a forbidden relationship.
Chosen as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s program “Uke Men,” the track—paired with Seikaikan Ozaki’s vocals—strikingly portrays the emptiness and inner turmoil that swirl within, even as two people connect through a physical relationship.
It lays bare the emotions often dismissed as “too heavy” in romance, and may resonate with those unable to recover from heartbreak or suffering from a single-minded love.
false faceyama
A song that portrays the pain of hiding your true feelings and continuously playing a false role to meet others’ expectations.
By coining the term “Deepfaker,” it sharply captures the difficulty of self-expression in the age of social media.
yama’s fragile vocals express the longing to face one’s true self deep inside, leaving a poignant aftertaste.
Included on the album “awake & build,” released in January 2024, this track speaks for the struggles of modern people.
It’s a song you’ll want to hear if you’ve ever found yourself pretending to be someone else because you care about how others see you, not just in romance, or if you’re tired of performing an idealized self on social media.
Ideal pictureNanorīta P
Here’s one song I recommend for anyone looking for a yandere-themed Vocaloid track: “Riso Ezu” (Ideal Picture).
The lyrics and composition are by Nanorita-P, and it’s sung by Kenon Tei.
The lyrics are basically a stalker song: the protagonist sneaks into the person they like’s room while they’re asleep and even makes them breakfast.
Naturally, the other person totally panics.
But the protagonist finds even that reaction cute—or so it seems.
They also recognize that they’re a bit unusual and believe that “this is the ideal form for my kind of love.”
Attack againmei-chan feat. hatsune miku
Starting from his roots as a vocalist, Mei-chan has also showcased his talents as a YouTuber and a songwriter-composer.
Released in September 2025, this work stands out for its striking collaboration featuring Hatsune Miku.
The lyrics depict a sudden encounter that spirals into an irresistible, impulsive fall into love, and when paired with its retro rock sound, they shake the listener’s emotions to the core.
It’s a highly addictive rock tune with a dangerous storyline you won’t be able to look away from.

Crossing Amagi PassIshikawa Sayuri
When it comes to the original yandere or menhera love song, this is the one.
It’s such a famous enka that you might wonder what’s “menhera” about it, but it’s packed with yandere and menhera elements from start to finish.
It even says that if her lover is going to be taken by another woman, she’d rather send him to the afterlife.
You could call this a true yandere, couldn’t you?
