[Menhera & Yandere] A Love Song So Devoted It Hurts (31–40)
PsychogramDECO*27 feat. Hatsune Miku
I can’t help wanting to keep the person I love all to myself… Some of you may relate to that feeling.
This is a song by DECO*27, a popular Vocaloid producer who also writes for well-known artists.
It’s included on the 2019 album “Android Girl.” The track unfolds over a downer-style guitar riff that creates an intense sense of darkness and fear, yet the chorus has a catchiness that feels like your vision suddenly clears.
utter scumNakiso feat. Kaai Yuki
The song “Dokuzu” is one I especially want people to hear if they feel anxious or troubled about their relationships with a partner or someone they like.
It was created in 2022 by Nakiso, a Vocaloid producer known for delivering highly thematic tracks.
It portrays someone who, out of overwhelming love, ends up relentlessly pressing their beloved with questions.
From Yuka Aisu’s vocal delivery, which repeats the same phrases, you can sense the aching emotions.
Set to a sound that carries a somewhat thrilling atmosphere, the song candidly expresses feelings that won’t settle.
It can be a source of comfort when you’re struggling with a romantic relationship or going through something painful.
lipstickKato Miria
Many women may already know this, right? This song is about the story ten years after “Dear Lonely Girl,” the track that made Miliyah Kato—then a current high school student—known as a charismatic icon among high school girls.
“Lipstick” sings about the struggles of our generation: playing the role of someone everyone envies, only to lose sight of your true self.
The cry to be loved for who you really are pierces the heart.
Loveit?biz×ZERA feat LOLUET
“Loveit?” is a song that vividly portrays an overwhelming surge of heavy romantic feelings born from thinking too much about a loved one.
Written and composed by biz and ZERA—both known for producing Vocaloid tracks and providing songs to artists—it features vocals by LOLUET.
Over a beat infused with suspenseful, atmospheric sound effects, the vocals unfold with expressive freedom.
Even in her conversational delivery, the singer conveys a dark worldview.
The track depicts both the aching emotion of love turning into hatred and scenes of sensual allure.
Cute Girlfriendsyudou
The song that proclaims a love so strong it won’t lose to anyone is “Cute na Kanojo” by singer-songwriter and Vocaloid producer syudou, released in 2021.
The lyrics suggest that the lover’s gaze isn’t directed solely at the singer, yet they demand to be properly loved, insisting that no matter who the rival is, their own love is the strongest—an intensity that borders on madness.
There’s a coolness to the bold confidence of always coming out on top no matter the situation, but the weight of certain expressions makes this a slightly frightening track.
[Menhera & Yandere] A Love Song So Devoted It Hurts (41–50)
Love me, love me, love meKikuo
This song portrays an overpowering love so intense it borders on madness, a plea to be loved relentlessly.
The eerie sound design amplifies the unsettling atmosphere of the track, with extremely hard-panned elements that heighten anxiety.
Alongside the deep, overwhelming affection, it also expresses a desire to eliminate anything that gets in the way—at times depicted in a violent manner, which leaves a strong impression.
While the intensity of the love comes through, the overall mood and nuanced lyrics evoke images of an unstable mind and feelings of fear.
The holeKing Gnu
The song “The Hole,” which closes King Gnu’s second album Sympa released in 2019.
From the intro, a wistful mood already hangs over the track, and reading the lyrics makes it clear that the theme is “love.” But just as there are many forms of love, listeners will interpret it differently.
For those who are struggling, it’s a deep piece that feels like it probes right into your vulnerable spot, leaving a lingering sting—addictive enough that you’ll find yourself listening to it over and over.
