Even though (I/you/they) became stupidPlastic Tree
These are lyrics with a strong message: I was fine up through middle school, but after that I got dumb.
It’s the kind of song that, when people who are hung up on the past—like “I should’ve studied more” or “If only I’d done this back then”—listen to it, they end up feeling like none of that really matters anymore.
A Long, Short FestivalShiina Ringo
The PV really captures how frightening women can be.
Since it has a dramatic storyline, it’s best to listen while watching the PV.
It’s totally insane but super cool! I think this song really brings out Shiina Ringo’s coolest side.
Gentlemen, be careful with women.
About lightGRAPEVINE
Vocals and guitar that entwine within a mellow melody.
When I’m exhausted by everything, listening to this song makes me stop caring.
The tempo isn’t fast or slow—it’s easy to just let it play.
Recently, you can also listen to a remake of the same song by the artists themselves.

GlideLily Chou-Chou
She is the singer who appears in the film All About Lily Chou-Chou.
In reality, the vocals are by Salyu.
The film itself deals with troubled, pent-up emotions of youth, so the songs are dark as well.
Please watch the movie first.
Lily Chou-Chou’s music has a morbid feel to it.
Translucent Girl RelationsZAZEN BOYS
The lyrics and vocalist Mr.
Mukai’s singing style are rock to the max.
The lyrics even say, “You and I have nothing to do with each other!” Listening to this song clears away the daily stress from work and more.
It’s also a song about the human desire to be connected with someone.
Yuki-chan’s GenesMōmō Rurugyaban
These are lyrics to an eccentric story about falling in love with a female friend’s child.
But in reality, it was probably the friend herself they loved.
It’s a song about a warped, twisted kind of love.
The band has a psychedelic vibe that makes you feel kind of floaty as you listen.
If you get hooked, be sure to check out their other songs too.

It has a sense of speed, yet there’s something wistful about it.
The lyrics seem vague, but I think they actually hit the core.
“You don’t need meaning or reasons or anything like that for your heart to tremble and tears to fall.” I want to listen to it when I’m feeling down to lift my spirits.
