[Menhera & Yandere Songs] A curated selection of love songs so devoted it hurts!

bakeneko (a supernatural/shape-shifting cat in Japanese folklore)Kitanitatsuya

Bakeneko / Tatsuya Kitani

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.

hard mode girlfriend

Nyamura, who’s gaining attention as a singer and rapper, has released her first digital single, “Hard Mode Kanojo.” It’s a girly, gentle-sounding track.

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.

DECO*27 – Dilemma feat. Hatsune Miku

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.

Shikao Suga / Sweet Fruit

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!

Attack againmei-chan feat. hatsune miku

Another Raid / Mei-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.

Voice (with lyrics) — Tsukiko Amano

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.

Beloved child,RURUTIA

RURUTIA Beloved Child MV

It was used as the ending theme for tvk’s program “saku saku,” so if you’re from Kanagawa you probably know this song.

RURUTIA’s debut track “Itoshigo yo” sings of pure love, but depending on how you listen, it’s a favorite that feels a bit eerie.

By the way, the name is written RURUTIA and pronounced “Rurutia.” Lines like “I crushed the rival girl’s throat” or “I shot her dead with a gun” make the lyrics seem like a madness that goes beyond pure love.

Love becomes frightening once it crosses a certain line, doesn’t it? The music video cranks up the creepiness even more, so check it out if you’re curious!
