Popular Depressing Songs Ranking [2026] (91–100)

curseYamazaki Hako96rank/position

This is “Noroi” (“Curse”), a song by Hako Yamasaki released in 1979.

I think there are times when we end up hating someone so much we feel like cursing them.

When those feelings surface, don’t you feel overwhelmed with guilt and find it hard to breathe? In those moments, please listen to this song.

Realizing “I’m not the only one who feels this way” should ease your heart.

Although it’s a dark, ominous piece, you could also say it’s a warm song that absorbs the darkness in people’s hearts.

Irony / Scop feat. Hatsune Miku [Hatsune Miku -cover-] I tried singing
Ironysukoppu

I’m tired of life and want to rest a little…

but with so much to do, I can’t afford to take a break.

It’s a song filled with the feeling of wanting to cry, yet knowing that even if I shed tears, nothing will change—so I’ll just keep moving forward, relentlessly.

A Bouquet for YouUtada Hikaru98rank/position

A single released in 2016 as part of Hikaru Utada’s comeback project after pausing her music career.

It’s a song dedicated to her mother, the singer Keiko Fuji, who died suddenly by suicide, and it’s truly impossible to listen to without tears.

Even when there’s so much you want to say, there’s a loneliness in not being able to say it all—something everyone may experience.

And yet, when you close your eyes, a smiling face appears.

This song tells us that that alone is enough—an expansive hymn of love to a mother.

My Room, My Dress Shirt, and MeHiramatsu Eri99rank/position

This is Eri Hiramatsu’s eighth single, released in 1992.

It became her biggest hit and won the Japan Record Award for Lyrics.

A film of the same name, inspired by the song, was later released.

The lyrics are distinctive, and if you change the way you listen to it a little, you may find yourself thinking, “This woman is unwell.” The vocals and melody are sweet and very cute, but with deeper listening you notice something different beneath the surface.

[Hatsune Miku] Hide and Seek [Original Song]
Hide and Seek19's Sound Factory

Days passed in fear of being disliked, unable to show my true self to others.

But the person who hated me the most was myself.

I’ve been playing so many different characters that I no longer know which one is the real me, the song says.

It ultimately comes to the conclusion that it’s about time I acknowledge myself.
