Adultery is a criminal act.takayan

Despite being male, Takayan is popular for songs that portray women’s feelings.
This track, “Cheating Is a Crime,” depicts a woman’s emotions toward a man who cheated.
It calls out the contradictions in the man’s excuses, and from the lyrics you can sense her anger and anguish: she wants revenge, but knows that cheating in return would be meaningless, which only makes it more frustrating.
In the latter half, there’s a depiction of her laying hands on her lover, almost as if she’s consuming him… It seems like a punishment for him, yet alongside her belief that he’s the worst, there may still be a lingering trace of love for him.
What are you laughing at?Yoshino

A song by Yoshino that portrays a heartrending love.
The lyrics, written in Kansai dialect, create a distinctive atmosphere.
It expresses emotional conflict and the contradictions of living, conveying the pain of struggling with one’s own contradictions.
Released in October 2024 as the ending theme for the anime “The Next Life Is Someone Else’s,” it brilliantly complements the show’s worldview.
Yoshino’s shout-style vocals and the raw rock sound leave a strong impression, making it perfect for when you want to let your emotions explode.
It’s also recommended for those who want to burn off excess energy or feel frustrated with an unreasonable world.
Chu of addictivesurii

Suri-san’s songs are characterized by heartfelt vocals and addictive tracks.
Have you ever had your intense feelings for someone spin out of control and been called a “menhera” or “yandere”? In this work, themes of dependence and addictive emotions in romance are expressed through lyrics that weave together catchy melodies and playful wordplay.
Released in July 2023, this track blends pop with elements of electronica, earning support especially among younger listeners.
It’s recommended for times when you can’t recover from heartbreak or when your feelings for someone are too strong to hold back.
To all my ex-girlfriendsKoresawa

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!
SAKANA-GIRLTaniyama Hiroko

SAKANA-GIRL by the female singer-songwriter Hiroko Taniyama.
The lyrics and music are by Taniyama herself, and the song unfolds under the premise that the narrator is the reincarnation of someone who loved fish.
The voice that speaks in time with the steady rhythm is a little unsettling, isn’t it? Yet in truth, she wants you to look at her, to speak to her, and to answer her—but since that’s impossible for a fish, she’ll at least eat it… Perhaps that’s a kind of love, a form of closure.
There’s a hint of resentment as well, but if someone has died, is eating the fish the best thing to do…?
Girls don’t cry.katahira rina

Girls Don’t Cry is about feelings so intense for someone that both body and mind slip into an abnormal state.
Released as a single in 2014, this song is Rina Katahira’s second single.
The lyrics portray the emotions of a woman who feels she’s being treated like a toy by the person she loves, piercing the hearts of listeners.
Yet even such painful love can be overcome, and someday you’ll look back with a smile.
It’s a support song meant for every woman who’s been hurt by love.
CecilieseleP

A beautiful track of EDM with a Japanese-style arrangement.
The woman, wanting to have her lover all to herself, makes the ultimate choice.
Which one is the one who’s been hurt and is drifting in and out of consciousness? Deep, heavy love can sometimes turn a person into a demon.
When you like someone so much you can’t stand it, that feeling can grow too large and turn into love and hate.
It makes me feel that love can sometimes be both beautiful and cruel.
