A Song Dedicated to the Worst YouYuuri
This is a digital release from November 2025 by Yuuri that sings of frustration and self-loathing toward oneself for being unable to escape a sneaky, unfair relationship—even while knowing the other person isn’t serious.
The lyrics pierce the heart as they call the other person “the worst,” yet also reckon with the singer’s own slyness in accepting a convenient role.
Kisses that feel like a gag to hide true feelings, and words that sound like a curse uttered with a sense that the end is near, vividly depict the psychological mind games of a complicated romance.
It’s a song that will resonate with anyone who knows they should walk away but can’t, or who is facing the end while still holding on to lingering attachments.

It’s a recommended song for those struggling with love or hoping to sort out their feelings.

Trash human, me.yangusukinii
Young Skinny is a band that often crafts songs portraying raw, vivid romantic entanglements.
From their album “I Used to Think You Could Get Away with Anything If You Turned It into a Song,” here’s “Trash Human, Me.” Both the album title and the song title pack a punch.
In this piece, a man who deceived many women looks back on his past and brazenly doubles down.
It’s the very definition of a “scumbag song,” so give it a listen first.
By the way, if you watch the music video, the meaning of the title becomes clear.
G actRADWIMPS
“I just haven’t gotten serious yet” — this song sharply portrays a self who hides behind that excuse and can’t take action.
It’s a track by RADWIMPS, included on their 2011 album Zettai Zetsumei.
The title “G” evokes “masturbation,” but what’s depicted is a young person who keeps consoling themselves for failing to show their true ability.
The rapid-fire rap lyrics capture a complex mindset where bravado and self-loathing intertwine.
Because the drums were sped up in production, the song remained absent from live sets for a long time, but it was finally performed for the first time on their 2023 tour.
It’s bound to pierce the hearts of those who keep making excuses to themselves and those struggling with the gap between reality and their ideals.
scumbag man and stupid womanDomura Riu
A song that makes your chest ache with the poignant sorrow that seeps from Riu Domura’s voice.
It vividly portrays the suffering of a woman who has stubbornly loved a deadbeat boyfriend, along with the raw regret of blaming herself for it.
Deep down she longs to be truly loved, yet can’t bring herself to say it—an aching frustration.
And still, she knows full well there’s no future in such one-sided love.
Exhausted from being the convenient woman, she dreams of a happiness that might one day come, and you can’t help but offer a tender, sorrow-tinged prayer for her.
It’s a song that stays close to those who can’t move on from heartbreak or who struggle in unrequited love, and it will surely help them take a new step forward.

Wolverine Nenzutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
This song vividly portrays the modern person living alongside loneliness.
