Your Anatomical Pure Love Song ~Die~aimyon

Aimyon “Anatomy of You: Pure Love Song ~Die~” lyric video made on LINE

Aimyon always encourages us with songs that become signposts when we’re lost or capture the ache of unrequited love.

One of her slightly unusual, mentally unstable–themed tracks is “Anata Kaibou Jun Aika ~Shine~” (“Your Dissection Pure Love Song ~Die~”).

In today’s climate, where consensus can be strict, a word like “die” might be taboo in some contexts.

The lyrics—talking about cutting off an arm or gouging out eyes—sound terrifying on paper, but when set to her melody they somehow don’t feel so out of place.

That’s another part of Aimyon’s charm.

It’s a recommended track for anyone who wants a change of pace.

Bathtub and neon tetraREISAI

Bathtub and neon tetra / flower

A stunning debut from the Vocaloid unit REISAI, celebrated for its distinctive world where love and madness intertwine.

Centered on two male protagonists—one with blue hair and one with red—the story portrays a love so intense it borders on derangement, along with mutual dependency, gripping countless listeners and refusing to let go.

Released in January 2021 and later included in the December album Debauchery, this track is there for us when we’re on the verge of losing ourselves to love, or when we can’t heal from the pain of heartbreak.

Delusional DiaryShido

SID – Delusion Diary

The four-piece rock band SID, which has designated October 4 as “SID Day,” has even formed a business partnership with Stardust Promotion—the agency that represents none other than Momoiro Clover Z.

Here’s one of their somewhat mentally unstable? tracks, “Delusion Diary.” The moment you hear “delusion,” you know you’re stepping into a whimsical, otherworldly space.

Actions that might seem bizarre—like “checking the trash of the person you like” or “making silent phone calls all night”—are all portrayed as expressions of love flipped inside out.

Stalking is prohibited, so please don’t imitate any of this.

It’s a creepy track packed with tongue-in-cheek elements, too!

Stalker’s Song: 3rd Block, Your HouseAbe Mao

Mao Abe – Stalker’s Song ~3rd Block, Your House~ [Stalker’s Song] (Live at YouTube Space Tokyo)

Abe Mao’s “Stalker no Uta ~3-chome, Your House~” grabs your attention from the title alone.

Sung with her clear, expansive voice in such a bright, breezy way, the word “stalker” creates a chilling gap—and that very contrast makes the song even scarier.

The backstory of how the phone number and address were learned, and the meticulous records of it all, are hair-raising; it’s one of the quintessential songs that comes to mind when you think of “stalker.” I can’t help but worry: when will this guy realize who she really is?

Ken Hirai - Confession

Right from the start, Ken Hirai’s “Kokuhaku” makes you think, “Wow, this is really heavy.” Released in 2012 as his 35th single, it was the theme song for the drama “W no Higeki,” starring Emi Takei.

The more you listen, the more it weighs on your heart: a song about a love that will never be returned, the ache of feelings that can’t come true, all wrapped in a sense of drama.

If you’re going through a painful romance, this track will surely resonate deeply with you.

Always together!Kitanitatsuya

Always together! / Tatsuya Kitani – ALWAYS BE WITH YOU XD / Tatsuya Kitani

A single that pierces the heart, centered on feverish love and obsessive attachment.

Tatsuya Kitani’s bewitching vocals brilliantly convey these complex emotions.

Beginning with words of a vow, the lyrics strikingly portray not only the beauty of love but also its darker side.

Released in May 2024 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of his music career, this work has earned fervent support from fans.

It’s a song I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone carrying the pain of heartbreak or powerful feelings for someone.

[MV] Gentle Boyfriend [Shiina Narumi × Non Stop Rabbit]

A collaboration song titled “Yasashii Kareshi” (Gentle Boyfriend) by YouTuber Shiina Narumi and Non Stop Rabbit, a three-piece band that also thrives as YouTubers.

The track depicts a back-and-forth between a man and a woman—almost like a push-and-pull argument—and is essentially from a woman’s perspective, sharply calling out her boyfriend who’s prone to wandering.

That said, even as she knows how he behaves, you can feel that she still loves him and can’t bring herself to hate him.

It’s what you might call a ‘menhera song.’
