but when you parse the lyrics, you start to see the feelings at the moment of parting with someone you love.
My heart is in shambles at the protagonist’s realization that the end is near.
I killed them!Natsuyama Yotsugi
Released in February 2024 by Yotsugi Natsuyama, this track—whose horn section timbre really lingers in the ear—placed 7th in the Bokakore Winter 2024 TOP 100 ranking.
Despite its light, poppy feel and upbeat rhythm, it leaves a deep impression with its heavy themes, capturing blame-shifting after doing something wrong and crowd psychology.
The thought-provoking lyrics and addictive melody make you want to listen again and again.
It’s a perfect song for those carrying unspoken worries or anyone who loves internet culture.
Cursed Ageguchiri

Originally included on the split EP “Jubaku – EP” released in March 2024, the track was published as a music video in January 2026.
Riding on loud guitar sounds and an aggressive beat, it sings of an inescapable feeling of “curse.” Give it a listen on nights when you want to confront your past more deeply.
Flower of Disguisenakiso
A song written by Nakiso for the rhythm game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.
Hatsune Miku.” It was released in October 2024.
True to Nakiso’s style, it features a dark, mysterious tone and profound lyrics.
The lyrics explore the multilayered meanings contained in the phrase “Bakenohana” (a play on words suggesting both “disguised flower” and “monster’s flower”), depicting the inner conflict between one’s true self and the gaze of others.
With tense melodies and a distinctive rhythm, it vividly conveys the protagonist’s emotional highs and lows.
Be sure to give it a careful, immersive listen.
