Recommended “yami” songs for men (51–60)
Menhera-chanKyūso Nekokami
Even though they were the one who confessed to you, you always get told you’re “too much” and end up getting dumped.
For you, here’s a song I want you to hear: “Menhera-chan” by Kyuso Nekokami, released in 2017.
It’s natural to constantly wonder where your crush is and what they’re doing, right? This song captures the honest feelings of a guy who’s dating a girl like that.
That said, the guy who makes her feel anxious has his share of blame too, doesn’t he…?
Everything other than death is just a scratch.Koresawa
Other people might say it’s no big deal, but there are surprisingly many things that feel “tough” to us personally.
This song, “Shinu Koto Igai Kasurikizu” (“Everything but Death Is Just a Scratch”), takes that kind of everyday life in a good, broad-minded way and makes you feel like you can move forward.
That said, it’s not a bright, pep-talk kind of anthem saying “Let’s do our best,” so it’s also recommended when you’re in the mood for a darker, cathartic song.
If you can think, “Everything but death is just a scratch,” a lot of things might start to feel easier.
Kill my ex-boyfriendGōruden Bonbā
It’s a novelty song that lives up to expectations for Golden Bomber, who often release comedic tracks.
Despite being a joke song, the lyrics are relatable—that’s the charm of Golden Bomber.
This track is a hidden gem packed with unforgettable phrases that stick with you after just one listen.
Loss and LiesKurahashi Yoeko
When you listen to it casually, it hardly sounds like a depressing song.
But once you look at the lyrics… it all makes sense.
Wanting to be loved by the one you love is something everyone feels in romance.
However, the woman in this song doesn’t care how little he pays attention to her; even if he insults her, she just wants to be by his side.
She’s satisfied even with words of love that lack truth—that’s how deep her feelings are.
It’s a love song for women so in love they can’t stop themselves, no matter what.

Lonely HeartsKato Miria
When times are tough, I imagine many women listen to the song “Lonely Hearts.” In its music video, women hurt for various reasons appear, and it’s a song that deeply resonates with women who feel emptiness, loneliness, and an inescapable sense of isolation.
I want the person I love to love me back; I don’t want anyone to hurt me; I want my existence to be acknowledged.
It’s filled with such heartrending feelings, and just listening makes your chest tighten.
It’s a song I hope women going through hard times will listen to.
Objection! Wasshoi!saishuu shoujo hikasa
This is a male-vocal band whose lyrics can be aggressive at times, but the soft keyboard melodies balance them out, creating a dark yet pleasant listening experience.
Many of their songs are fast-paced, Shimokitazawa-style rock, and they’re recommended for women who love band sounds and resonate with darker themes.
MetronomeYonezu Kenshi
This is Metronome, sung by singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu.
Just as two pendulum metronomes that start swinging at the same tempo gradually fall out of sync over time, couples, too, can stop getting along.
You wonder where those early feelings went, but there’s nothing you can do.
It’s a common story, yet it’s truly heartbreaking.
