Stalker’s Song: Rhapsody of Twisted Love (1–10)
a nuisance (as pesky as flies in May)RADWIMPS
Among RADWIMPS’ songs, May’s Fly (Gogatsu no Hae) is infamous for its “gruesome lyrics.” Released in 2013 as their 16th single, the track is shocking from start to finish—an unabashed, ear-stinging surge of raw resentment and emotion that feels like it crashes over you.
You can’t help but wonder where such intense hatred for the other person comes from, but as you listen, you realize that feelings of betrayal by someone you loved too much can curdle into a grudge.
There’s a saying, “I’ll curse you for generations,” and this song reaches precisely that level—a full-on stalker anthem.
The music video is unsettling as well.
Stalker’s Song: 3rd Street, Your HouseAbe Mao
With its light rhythm and cute vocals, the lyrics—about a stalker—create an amusing mismatch.
Stealing address books, digging up even the sister’s name, and drifting into delusion, the words are chilling.
It’s actually a frightening song about a sweet girl turning into a stalker.

When it comes to songs about stalkers, many—or at least the ones that stand out—are told from a woman’s perspective.
This song, “Mitsumete Iru,” is a track sung from a male point of view, included as the B-side to Porno Graffitti’s massive 2000 hit “Saudade.” It’s a song whose lyrics also reflect the era of 2000, and it’s worth paying attention to that aspect.
How should I put it—there’s an intense sense of delusion, and that intensity accelerates as the song progresses, making it feel like having one-sided romantic feelings forced upon you.
Delusional DiaryShido
When you think of a stalker, this is exactly the vibe! SID’s “Delusional Diary” is a song that straightforwardly portrays the kind of stalker you imagine.
Calling her a woman in love with the idea of love sounds cute, but as the title suggests, she hurls her fantasies out just as she imagines them.
It’s a catchy, upbeat track, yet the more you listen, the more it feels frightening.
The object of her affection is probably a celebrity—an entertainer or a band member, perhaps.
It’s a stalker song where an overzealous fan’s feelings and actions come crashing down relentlessly, and the final lyrics deliver a real shock.

A song sung by the VOCALOID Megurine Luka.
Despite its lyrics detailing fairly intense stalker-like behavior, the nostalgic-feeling melody and her gentle, ephemeral voice make the track feel not particularly frightening.
15 Years of a Clingy Guy’s Petty GrudgesIe no ura de manbō ga shinderu P
When it comes to stalker songs, many of them focus on fear and a chilling sense of dread, but this one—“The Clingy Guy’s 15 Years of Needling”—is full of moments that just beg for a playful jab.
The title alone makes you want to quip back, and you’d think it’s simply the feelings of an obsessive man stuck in the stereotype of ‘stalker equals clingy.’ But the lyrics are peppered with laugh-out-loud lines, even as you can’t help wanting to say, “Yeah, that’s still stalking.” It looks back on each of the 15 years one by one, and then delivers a shocking twist at the end that tightens your chest and sweeps away all the earlier comedy.
It’s a highly recommended track.
egg-drop (bound with egg) / egg-and-broth simmered dishKurahashi Yoeko
Yoeko Kurahashi’s “Tamagotoji” is crisp and refreshing, completely removed from murky emotions or sticky feelings.
It’s a charming, cheerful number that makes you want to whip up tamagotoji and head out—almost like going on a picnic.
But if you listen closely… doesn’t something feel a bit off? You might be fooled by the light vocals and melody, but depending on how you hear it, you can sense a love that can’t be confessed, feelings you can’t put into words being pushed down, and even a kind of lingering, clinging longing for someone.
