a lot of popular Japanese songs tend to have sad and/or heartbreaking undertones but people just love the beat.

[Anasumi]

Surprisingly it’s not rare at all to have songs with hella upbeat music while having dark lyrics. Especially from what I noticed Japanese love doing that.

[AlliyaAndAnime]

Sad fact though, it's age restricted because it talks about sxicide which sucks because it's such a bop

[MikiAnne]

Reminder that many English speakers will jam to a English song about school sh00tings (Pumped Up Kicks)

[Elcocheese]

My favorite part of Jpop songs is how they can sound so upbeat and happy while having such sad meanings

[mifcreativemint]

*it legit represent how depression can be masked as happiness perfectly*

[xanox]

I’ve made songs about self-unaliving and I still dance to them as if I’m talking about flowers & sunshines 💀

YOASOBI are absolute song writing geniuses. I've been listening to their stuff and everything from the music to the lyrics is always so detailed and polished.

As someone who is fluent in Japanese, when my friend showed me this and started vibing, I was just looking at her really weirdly.

Upbeat songs with dark lyrics are extremely common even in english. A very good example would be "Hey Ya!" by OutKast. It's a song about young people failing to find/keep longlasting and meaningful relationships, then burying themselves in short term pleasures because they can't even begin to address their own emotions. It even has a self aware moment where the song pauses to say "Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance" directly to the listener, critiquing them for their own indulgence in short term pleasures instead of pausing to disect the deeper message behind the lyrics.

This proves that Japanese is a language that make anything sound like a love song

[giyuu_is_hot_tbh]

And that's why I never assume that a Japanese song is happy just cause of how it sounds-

[pistolemi]

It's like Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People 😂

[silverwolfzs]

Let’s be honest, even when English singers sing about their depression we’re still jammin out

[berry__LH]

Someone needs to make a song that sounds sad but actually has a happy meaning.

One of the two main people in Yaosobi has a background in Vocaloid. A BILLION vocaloid songs are just like that (and known for that), sounding extremely happy, peaceful, or sweet until you hear the meaning. It’s one of my favorite things about it in a way. If I’m sad I can resonate with the meanings, but if I’m just vibing I get to enjoy the more upbeat style music. And the upbeatness of the music helps to cheer me up eventually, even if I know the meaning or am listening to an English cover.

lmao i was just watching billys videos 🤣

[madeliefynana]

There are quite some happy sounding songs with depressing meanings, not just Japanese.
I feel like it adds a special touch, because depression isn't only sadness and crying. It's also about faking happiness and just feeling nothing, disassociating or finding yourself happy at times

[goten_]

The girl is actually not a grim reaper, she is actually an imagination made by the guy cause of over work stress, so the guy actually went metal and thought that there was a girl with depression that he was in love with, but he's actually the one who's depressed..

[anikat]

“Sounds happy but is dark”

Miku: First time?
