Young Skinny – I Don't Like You [Official Music Video]

A highly relatable song by Young Skinny that portrays the pain of heartbreak and the courage to take a new step forward.

It depicts the feelings of a woman who tries to sever ties with a past love by throwing away all the mementos, yet can’t get her ex out of her head.

Even as she tells herself she’s okay, memories resurface in unguarded moments—this is a song that gently stays by your side through that bittersweet ache.

Released in December 2022, this track is sure to be a dependable companion for anyone trying to move forward while carrying the wounds of a broken heart.

Mio Yamazaki “Menhera”

A track included on Mio Yamazaki’s 2015 album “Otona ga Dame tte Itta Yatsu” (“The Things Adults Said Were Bad”).

It’s packed with the pain of a woman who is overwhelmed by an all-too-intense love and longs for someone to understand her “off-the-rails” self, as well as her wish for the person she loves to accept it.

With its hard rock sound and near-shouted vocals, it’s perfect for immersing yourself and letting your emotions loose.

If you’re in a turbulent kind of romance, this messy, muddled song is likely to have at least a few parts you can relate to.

[MV] UMEILO – High Sky

What on earth should I do if the person I like ends up getting a partner…? UMEILO’s “Kokū” captures that bittersweet, aching feeling.

It’s a cool rock track that cries out those sweet-and-sour emotions alongside the sound of a Telecaster! Don’t you ever find yourself putting on a brave face when you can’t be honest? This is the song I recommend for times like that.
