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

Yorunagi feat. nishinaindigo la End

indigo la End – Night Calm feat. nishina

The beautiful harmonies by indigo la End and Nishina delicately portray the emotions of lovers on the brink of parting.

Set against a wintry white landscape, the subtle shifts of feeling leave a lingering resonance that sinks deep into the heart.

Released in January 2025, the piece drew attention as a lead track from the album “MOLTING AND DANCING.” As the band’s first collaboration with a female artist, it marks an ambitious step into new territory.

It’s a song I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone facing the complexities of an imminent breakup, or to those who wish to cherish their final moments with someone special as a beautiful memory.

Ready-made

A song where aching love and a rebellious spirit intersect.

It’s striking in the way it rejects a prefab, off-the-shelf life and strives to reclaim one’s true self.

The image of a bat smashing fixed ideas symbolizes a way of living unbound by society’s frameworks.

Ado’s powerful vocals convey uncontrollable emotions with raw directness.

Released in December 2020, it was chosen as the ending theme for an ABEMA news program in February of the following year.

The baseball-themed music video also drew attention.

This track is recommended for those who question society’s values and for anyone who wants to express their emotions honestly.

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.

I’m going to kill my ex-boyfriend.Gōruden Bonbā

Kill my ex. - Golden Bomber

A song by the visual kei “air band” Golden Bomber, known by the nickname Kinbaku, whose members are active not only in music but also across a wide range of fields.

This track is included as the coupling song to their 4th single, Traumatic Hostess.

With lyrics that vocalist Sho Kiryuin proudly calls “full-on clingy” and an irresistibly pop melody, it really sticks with you.

The writhing reaction to hearing about an ex—an experience many men can relate to—depicts that complicated male psyche of not wanting to hear it, yet wanting to, alongside honest emotions.

It’s a song that men will find themselves empathizing with even as it hurts, and one every guy should listen to at least once.

DarlingSuda Keina

Keina Suda – Darling (Music Video)

Keina Suda, known as a Vocaloid producer and singer-songwriter, has released “Darling,” a song that’s gone viral on social media.

Sung from a woman’s perspective, it expresses love for a man who won’t turn around to notice her.

While it includes elements often labeled as menhera or yandere, the song depicts only straightforward, sincere affection—without resentment or anger.

Incidentally, the music video portrays her mental distress a bit more concretely.

Watching it will likely leave a very different impression.

I like you, I like you—I love you.Togawa Jun

Jun Togawa - Suki Suki Daisuki

Jun Togawa’s “Suki Suki Daisuki” has made an unusual comeback, going viral on TikTok—especially overseas—so people are hearing it again.

The song is the title track from her third album of the same name, released in 1985.

In the chorus, she seems to cutely express her overwhelming love… or so it appears, but the song actually instills a sense of fear.

The lyrics feel terrifying despite the poppy tune.

You could call it pure love, but when you take it to the extreme, it becomes this—a yandere-esque song.

I♡Riripi

Heart-Pounding Flutter: I♡/ Lili-Pi [Original Song]

“I♡” is a song about being so overwhelmed with love for someone that you’re practically high on it.

Created by singer Lilipi, who is active mainly on YouTube, the track was released in 2022.

The song gives you the sense of being told “I love you” over and over while both body and mind are in an abnormal state—truly yandere! Its melody, with a slightly horror-like, Halloween-song vibe, seems to directly reflect the protagonist’s heart as they begin to go mad from love.

Listen enough times, and you might just fall under this song’s love spell yourself.
