Stalker Song: Rhapsody of Twisted Love (21–30)
If you’re okay with itSukima Suichi
A song that expresses deep feelings for a loved one.
It’s one of Sukima Switch’s signature tracks, released as their second single in June 2004.
It became a popular love song, even being used as an insert song in the film “Rough.” At first glance, it sounds like a pure love song, but if you listen closely, the lyrics leave a slightly eerie impression.
The sentiment of “I’ll do anything for you” is at times expressed in a distorted way.
It’s often sung at karaoke, but it has a certain charm that sends a chill down your spine.
A Painful LetterMUCC
MUCC’s “Itai Tegami” is a classic stalker song that gives you chills from the very first moment.
There aren’t any explicitly scary words in the lyrics, but that’s exactly what makes it frightening—the fear creeps up on you.
The dark melody line amplifies that unease.
You can feel the emotion of “because I love you,” but its one-sided, overly straightforward intensity comes off as madness—a quintessential stalker song.
Stalker's Song: Rhapsody of Distorted Love (31–40)
mentally unstable personMioyamazaki
When it comes to stalkers, there’s a familiar association with “menhera.” And speaking of menhera, the band Mio Yamazaki is often brought up.
Their signature song “Menhera” is a track packed to the brim with the feelings and actions of a menhera woman, expressed in an unflinchingly straightforward way.
Many listeners will probably find themselves going, “Whoa…” at the relentlessly pressing, hard-hitting lyrics.
Still, it’s also a number that conveys, at least to some extent, that the menhera girlfriend understands herself—and that no one chose to become this way.
RikaSIX LOUNGE
With a paranoid yet pure sentiment, the way one thinks deeply about the other intertwines with a gently seeping melody.
The music video, in which visuals and sound are beautifully harmonized, was created by illustrator and manga artist Miku Masuda and has surpassed 1.7 million views.
The track was included on the acclaimed 2016 album “Shinonome,” with a re-recorded version released in August 2023, and was later featured on the album “FANFARE.” When your feelings for someone seem on the verge of running wild, listening to this song may help you face your emotions.
I miss you so much and want to see you.Nishino Kana
This song expresses a bittersweet longing for love.
Kana Nishino’s cute, charming vocals convey the loneliness of not being able to see the person you love.
Released as a single in May 2010, it drew attention for being featured in a jewelry brand’s commercial.
The chorus line “I want to see you, I want to see you, I’m trembling” is especially memorable, as if speaking for those who’ve had their hearts broken.
It’s a track full of Kana Nishino’s appeal, and is recommended for anyone troubled by love or wanting to share in the feeling of thinking about someone special.
CountdownCocco
A profound song where aching infatuation and warped affection intersect.
Cocco’s distinctive voice pierces the listener’s heart like a blade.
Released in May 1997 as her debut single, it is also included on the album Bougainvillea.
Twenty years later, in March 2017, it was performed for the first time on Music Station.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to alone in your room on a night of heartbreak.
It’s also recommended for when you feel like letting your emotions out.
You’ll surely find yourself resonating with Cocco’s soulful cry.
I wanted to talk to you.Minamino Yoko
It’s a song filled with a heart-wrenching, tightening-in-the-chest kind of longing.
Released in April 1987 as Yoko Minamino’s seventh single, it portrays the delicate emotions of someone in love—wanting to speak to the person they like, yet lacking the courage to do so.
Despite its lively melody, the lyrics overflow with poignancy and resonate deeply with listeners.
It’s also known for its tie-in with the drama Sukeban Deka II and reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
Highly recommended for those who want a great karaoke song.
