Stalker’s Song: Rhapsody of Distorted Love (11–20)
montageMakihara Noriyuki
Noritaka Makihara’s 18th single, “Montage,” released in 1997.
This song is a number that vividly conveys the aching feelings of love and the accelerating swell of those emotions.
When we fall in love, we often find ourselves filled up by that person, with nothing else on our mind, right? I understand that feeling well, but from there, it’s like the emotions balloon too much inside you, the brakes stop working on their own, and you go into a runaway—this is a love song that captures that.
It’s something you don’t even realize yourself.
I miss youTaniyama Hiroko
When we think of a stalker, we picture one-sided feelings, someone who charges ahead without considering the other person’s feelings, unable to see themselves—that’s the defining trait, right? That’s what makes it scary.
But with this song, Hiroko Taniyama’s “Aitakute,” I don’t feel that fear.
It’s a track where emotions that have piled up end up sounding one-sided.
It’s a song in which earnest feelings press in with overwhelming force, yet you can still sense a sliver of composure—a bit of ability to look at oneself objectively.
Kill my ex-boyfriendGōruden Bonbā
With its truly shocking title, Golden Bomber’s “Ex-Boyfriend Killer.” When it comes to stalker songs or songs about love taken too far, most tracks usually focus on singing about or thinking obsessively of the current partner.
But in this song, the target is the beloved girlfriend’s “ex-boyfriend.” It conveys the narrator’s hatred for the ex who presumably hurt her in the past—so much so that his love for her leaps over her and fixates on the ex.
It’s hard to say whether being loved this intensely is something to be happy about, but when you listen closely, you can’t help but think, “This person is kind of scary.”
One-Sided Dead GirlTaira Aoi
Hira Aoi is a music group centered around vocalist Aoi Taira and Toshiyuki Taira.
Their 2023 release “One Side Dead Girl” is a song that portrays a love so intense it twists and distorts the feelings toward a beloved person.
The track carries a subtly urban vibe, with a rhythmic beat underpinning her heartrending vocals.
It’s an uptempo number whose smoothly unfolding lyrics sing of a love that keeps the other person on one’s mind constantly—whether together or apart.
Don’t call me a stalker.Ōtasuseri
From the title alone, you can tell—and you’ll want to listen—the song “Don’t Call Me a Stalker.” It’s a signature track by Ota Suseri, a singer-songwriter who is also known as a comedian.
When it comes to stalkers, people always say in unison, “I’m just in love; I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong.” This song packs into one track the process of not noticing how the behavior goes too far and keeps escalating.
It’s a piece you’d want to call the model example of a stalker song.
Marytonari no sakata.
Sakata from Next Door, who is also active as a member of the utaite group Urashimasakatasen.
He has gained popularity through internet-centered activities, and the song “Mary” included in his 2022 album “Steal your heart” is this one.
It sings about the feelings of falling in love with someone you happened to meet in an online game.
The warm melody resonating with beautiful strings contrasts with the frightening phrases that show a desire so strong you end up going to see the other person.
Be sure to listen to this stalker-themed song that keeps you hooked right up to the final spoken line.
Stalker Song: Rhapsody of Twisted Love (21–30)
I like you, I like you—I love you.Togawa Jun
It’s a disturbing love song that portrays an extreme form of love.
Jun Togawa’s distinctive vocals match perfectly with the eerie melody.
Included on the album Sukisuki Daisuki, released in November 1985, this track brims with a charm that stirs the listener’s heart.
At first glance it seems like a pop song, but the lyrics candidly depict an obsession with the other person spiraling out of control.
The feelings for a loved one intensify to the point of violent expression.
It’s a must-listen for those troubled by love or who recognize stalker-like tendencies in themselves.
