Seiko Omori “Wedding Bell” Music Clip (short ver.)

Originally released in 1981 as a song by the three-woman group Sugar, this track was covered and released in 2016 by singer-songwriter Seiko Oomori, who enjoys strong support from younger generations.

The mismatch between the catchy, fairy-tale-like brightness of the music and the lyrics, which are imbued with a terrifying level of resentment, is striking.

Because of that contrast, you can feel the intensity of the emotions held by the female protagonist in the lyrics.

The music video, which shows her singing in a blood-soaked dress, is also a must-see.

girlfriend

The song “girlfriend” tightens my chest with the aching feelings of a man who knows he’s being toyed with yet still gets dragged around.

Released digitally in 2020, it’s a heartbreaking number that will surely bring tears to anyone in a similar kind of love.

It might sound rude to call it “weak” or “whiny,” but it’s a track where he endlessly circles the kind of thoughts you want to advise him are going to end the same way no matter what.

And the way he’s aware he’s only the second choice adds to the poignancy.

Codependence / Riu Domura (Lyric Video)

A poignant love song by Riu Domura that delicately portrays a heart unable to escape loneliness and anxiety.

It’s striking for its depiction of a woman’s inner conflict as she realizes that, even while drowning in a codependent relationship, she’s nothing more than a convenient presence.

Released in May 2019, the song is included on the album “Escape,” with a remixed version later featured on the album “Night View.” It’s a track that offers comfort to those told their love is “too heavy” because they feel too strongly, or to anyone still carrying the pain of a difficult heartbreak.
