[Menhera & Yandere] A love song so single-minded it makes you sick

I’ll give you my heart.Kuroki Nagisa

Nagisa Kuroki “I’ll Give You My Heart” MV (Promotion ver.)

This is the debut single “Atashi no Shinzō Ageru” (“I’ll Give You My Heart”) by Nagisa Kuroki, a singer-songwriter from Miyazaki Prefecture.

The song’s lyrics are somewhat grotesque, of course, but what’s most shocking is the music video, where Kuroki plays guitar and sings, covered in blood, in a sea of blood.

The blood-written message on the wall saying “I want you to come see me” may, depending on the viewer, feel like a portent of something terrifying.

According to Nagisa Kuroki herself, the song speaks about the ultimate form of love.

Hitomi Ishikawa ♪ Ambush ♪ Ishikawa Hitomi

Hitomi Ishikawa’s “Machibuse” is a song that hits straight to the nostalgia of those born in the 1970s.

Ishikawa herself had a quiet, somewhat different presence from other idols of the time, and she was incredibly cute.

The songwriter and composer of “Machibuse” is none other than Yumi Arai—yes, Yuming.

I didn’t realize she also wrote songs for idols.

The lyrics are about “lying in wait for someone you love,” which can be read as profoundly bittersweet.

Maybe there’s a fine line between heartache and being a bit emotionally unstable.

Even now, it’s a gentle track that makes your heart flutter.

If you haven’t heard it yet, give it a listen!

Koresawa - To All My Ex-Girlfriends [Lyric Video]

Among songs about love, this one is especially straightforward and candid.

Set to a poppy melody, the bold declarations—“He’s mine” and “To his ex-girlfriends, thanks for breaking up with him!”—really stand out.

Featured on Koresawa’s album Jun’ai Closet, this track is one you’ll want to hear whether your romance is going smoothly or you’re feeling a bit uneasy.

If you’re supposed to be head over heels with your boyfriend but secretly lack confidence, listening to this song and telling yourself, “He’s crazy about me, so it’s okay,” might be just what you need!

It’s recommended for times when you can’t recover from heartbreak or when your feelings for someone are too strong to hold back.

Murasaki Ima – Front / Murasaki Ima – Shomen (MUSIC VIDEO)

This song, woven with delicate words, expresses a single-minded, earnest love.

Shion Murasaki’s husky, powerful vocals brilliantly convey the feelings of a protagonist burdened with heartache.

The question “Who are you facing head-on?” reflects a desire to see the other’s true self while also prompting a chance to reexamine one’s own essence.

Released in September 2024, the track has also become a live favorite and was a long-awaited digital release among fans.

It’s gained buzz on social media and holds the potential to go viral on platforms like TikTok.

Highly recommended for those struggling with love or wanting to be honest with their feelings.

Rejected-Love GirlSayuri

Sanketsu Shoujo Sayuri “Furaregai Girl” MV (Full ver) — Song provided and produced by RADWIMPS’ Yojiro Noda

This song, for which Yojiro Noda of RADWIMPS provided the music, is a breakup track sung by singer-songwriter Sayuri.

The lyrics are written from the perspective of a woman who was dumped by her boyfriend, and assertive lines like “How dare you, of all people, dump me” convey the intensity of her feelings.

At the same time, depictions such as wearing the clothes he gave her and waiting for him to come back reveal a lingering attachment that could even be labeled ‘menhera.’ However, by the end of the lyrics, she seems to have cut off her attachment to him cleanly.

If you listen to this song and let yourself sink all the way into that pain just once, it might clear your mind and give you the strength to move forward.

Sora Tomonari – “Staring Contest” [Music Video]

This song captures feelings for someone with a vivid infatuation and a dangerously alluring charm.

Its distinctive blend of Japanese and Western elements evokes the Taisho Romantic era and the wave of modernization, with a bass-centered melodic line that creates a unique soundscape.

Released in May 2024 as Sora Tomonari’s fourth digital single, it was featured by various media, including J-WAVE’s “SONAR TRAX.” The lyrics portray the confusion of falling in love and the earnest desire to know the other person’s feelings, making it a recommended listen for those who can relate to being drawn in despite knowing it might be risky.
