Guaranteed to move your emotions! Emo songs released in the Reiwa era

In recent years, the word “emoi” has been widely used among young people.

It comes from “emotional,” meaning a state that’s easily affected by feelings, and it’s used to express emotions like happiness, sadness, loneliness, nostalgia, and bittersweetness.

This time, we’ve put together a list of “emoi” tracks limited to releases from the Reiwa era.

Beyond just the lyrics, some songs feel “emoi” through their melodies and ensemble, so we hope listeners of all ages—not just younger generations—can feel the “emo” vibe.
