Recommended depressive songs for men (21–30)
Tokyo lifeLucky13
First, I want you to read the entire lyrics.
They especially resonate with people in their twenties.
It’s deeply depressing, but within the song I can feel faint glimmers of everyday light and hope.
The artist isn’t very mainstream, but I think it’s worth a listen.
A communication refusal desireVOLA & THE ORIENTAL MACHINE
A song by the band started by Ahito Inazawa, who played drums in Number Girl.
The lyrics express a day-to-day sense of inertia with the idea of “we won’t communicate.” Lyrically, it might lean heavily into darker, depressive themes, yet somehow the tune is uplifting.
I want to see you.sawada chikako
This is also a famous song.
Hearing these lyrics sung with such a pure, beautiful voice makes it all the more heartbreaking.
Those who have experienced a bittersweet love might even be moved to tears.
When Mr.
Sawada was a student, he confessed to his senior that he had decided to become a singer, and the senior reportedly told him, “I’ll be your first fan.” But a few days later, the senior tragically died in a traffic accident.
Trifle SongKanno Yōko
Yoko Kanno has a voice that feels like it purifies the heart.
She’s a singer known for famous anime songs such as those from Macross Frontier, but she also performs healing-style pieces like this.
It’s the kind of music you’ll want to listen to slowly late at night.
The florist’s daughterFujifaburikku
This song is themed around so-called love at first sight.
However, the lyrics are somewhat stalker-like and a bit unhinged.
Did they fall in love that deeply? By the way, the vocalist, Mr.
Shimura, passed away on December 24, 2009.
It is said to have been due to illness, but the details have not been disclosed.
prostitutionjoōbachi
It’s often mistaken for a male-female duet, but it’s actually sung by one person.
The theme is prostitution, yet the song somehow conveys a wistful, bittersweet feeling.
While acknowledging the immorality of prostitution, it portrays the emotions of both the man and the woman.
angina pectorisRADWIMPS
Turn on the TV and the world is overflowing with sad news.
You want to do something, but you can’t do anything.
Don’t you ever end up hating yourself for that helplessness? That cry of the heart is what RADWIMPS’ “Kyoshinsho” (Angina) sings about.
In a world where sorrow never ends, you get so angry you even want to complain to God.
This is a song I’d love for you to listen to in those moments.
