a May flyRADWIMPS
For those who got hooked on RADWIMPS through their mega-hits “Zenzenzense” and “Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?”, this one song features lyrics so extreme they’ll be beyond imagination.
“May’s Fly” is RADWIMPS’ 16th single, released in 2013, and it drew attention for its provocative words and emotions that verge on terrifying.
It’s a track that conveys such hatred you’ll wonder, can someone really harbor this much resentment? If you listen closely and weigh it against your own worries and feelings, you may even find yourself thinking, maybe I’m not so bad off after all.

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.
Yanderu GirlfriendR shitei
It’s a song by the visual kei band R-Shitei (R-Shitei).
In recent years, they’ve been collaborating more not only with visual kei bands but also with artists and idols who have a dark or troubled aesthetic, which has led to growing popularity outside the visual kei scene as well.
They’re a “yami” (mentally dark) band.

This is a song by aiko, who is very popular as a spokesperson for women’s hearts.
In particular, the music video for this track became a hot topic for its high level of “yandere” vibes, depicting her entering her ex-lover’s room.
While the music video is creepy, the song itself has a cute feel, so it’s recommended for women who are feeling emotionally unwell.
Rejected-Love Girl“Sanketsu Shoujo” Sayuri
This song became a hot topic because Yojiro Noda, the vocalist of RADWIMPS, provided the composition and produced it.
The lyrics are sung from the perspective of a girl who’s being dumped, which is rare, and it has many parts that women in particular can relate to.
It’s recommended for women who are feeling emotionally distressed.
