“Give Me a Psychotic Kiss” was released in 2014 as Gesu no Kiwami Otome’s major-label debut single.

The title really sticks with you, doesn’t it? The song was written specifically for the 2014 TV drama “Around 30-chan: Uncensored,” drawing inspiration from the original manga and, based on the image of the drama’s lead actress, Dan Mitsu, the lyrics were written from a woman’s perspective.

The band’s one-of-a-kind world explodes with freshness here—it’s addictively unique.

twofold forgettingKobukuro

Kobukuro’s 33rd single, released on July 7, 2021.

By the way, the title is pronounced “Ryōbō.” Since their debut, Kobukuro—a duo of Shunsuke Kuroda and Kentarō Kobuchi—has been highly praised for their harmony work, and that well-regarded harmonization is alive and well in this song, letting you enjoy beautifully crafted chorus parts.

Because they’re known for their choral work, some people might hesitate to try harmonizing this song at karaoke, but the chorus arrangement isn’t actually that complicated, so there’s nothing to fear! Definitely give it a try.

Just be careful not to make your vocals too edgy or forceful, as that could spoil the song’s charm.

Aim to sing as gently and softly as possible.

It’s a song that gently stays close to such feelings.

When you feel lonely, this song is sure to reach out its hand to you.

Songs with titles that start with “Ri” (341–350)

streamlinedZa Kuromaniyonzu

The 8th single of 2011 is a double A-side single, with compositions by Masatoshi Mashima and Hiroto Kōmoto respectively.

One of them is “Ryūsengata,” composed by Masatoshi Mashima.

Unusually for a single, the song begins with a minor chord.

Its lonely, dry atmosphere makes sense, as it’s performed with acoustic guitar and tambourine, and together with a country-tinged bass, it creates a distinctive mood.

It’s a track that carries a sense of nostalgia, and the lyrics—like regaining the heart of a boy—seem to embody their unchanging brand of punk.

It might even make a lot of people think, “I want to experience a romance like this.”
