Tsundere/Music
Usually tsuntsun ("Type A")
- Love Me for Me by Ashlee Simpson is this.
I love you, I hate you, youeve never wanna know what I've been through |
- The Gomez song "Girlshapedlovedrug" (lyrics) seems to be a love song to a tsundere.
- "She's Always A Woman" by Billy Joel.
- Also "Laura".
- These lyrics come to mind: 'Cause you're my lady/I'm your fool/it makes me crazy when you act so cruel. From the song Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham!
- Although its music video seems more geared towards Yandere girls, the lyrics of P!nk's Please Don't Leave Me are from the perspective of a Type-A Tsundere.
- The song "Loco (Tu forma de ser)" by Argentinian group Los Autenticos Decadentes is pretty much a love theme dedicated to a hardcore Type A Tsundere with some dashes of Dojikko.
- The song "La mia ragazza mena" (="my girlfriend fights") by Italian group Articolo 31 is from the perspective of a guy who describes his relationship with a Type A Tsundere.
- "She Likes (Bittersweet Love)" by Forever The Sickest Kids is about one of these. 'She likes, she likes, she likes to fight and make up/ She likes, she likes, she likes to be alone/ She likes, she likes the heartache of a breakup/ She likes, she likes to be my bittersweet love.'
- The subject of the song 'Underneath it All' by No Doubt seems to be a male Type A showing his dere side.
- "Blender" by The Pretty Reckless is from the point of view of a Type A.
- "Keeps Getting Better" by Christina Aguilera reads like the image song of a Type A Tsundere.
- P!nk has done this not once but twice. The first time was with "Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)", in which she can't decide whether she wants the guy around or not -- Can't Live With Him, Can't Live Without Him. Not exactly sure what type of Tsundere this is, but it's something. Then in her newest single, "Please Don't Leave Me", she plays a definite type A. I'm pretty sure that this is the only love song to ever refer to the beloved as "my perfect little punching bag".
- The music video for "Please Don't Leave Me", on the other hand, depicts a Yandere trying to make her ex stay in her home through various violent means.
- The song Girl by The Beatles is about a girl, who has the habit of dissing the guy around her friends, coolly taking compliments in stride, and bursting into tears when he talks about leaving her. At the end of the song, the singer wonders if she considers this some kind of philosophy, and muses that her mood swings will be the death of him.
- Just the Girl, by Click Five. The guy adores a tsundere especially when she's tsun-tsun.
- Gugure Kasu/Go Google It, a Vocaloid song by Megurine Luka and Kamui Gakupo, features a very tsundere Luka. If, you know, you count stabbing someone with a spork and denying love for them as tsundere.
- Akita Neru is a specifically tsundere fanmade vocaloid. Many of her songs feature her singing about how much she hates the other vocaloids, and then taking it back in the end, saying that she really does love them, but cannot show it.
- Skye Sweetnam's Tangled Up In Me. It's about a girl who has a crush on a guy, but is mean to him in order to win his affections. 'You wanna know more, more, more about me/ I'm the girl who's kicking the Coke machine/ I'm the one who's honking at you who I left late again/ Can't you see I want you by the way I'm pushing you away?/ Don't judge me tomorrow by the way I'm acting today/ Mix the words up with the actions, do it all for your reaction/ Get tangled up in me
- With lyrics like “You’ve won me over in spite of me” and “Don’t be surprised if I love for all that you are/ I couldn’t help it/ It’s all your fault” Alanis Morissette’s “Head Over Feet” appears to be about a former tsundere who used to be big type a but after admitting her feelings became almost pure deredere.
- Sheryl Crow’s “Strong Enough” is a song from the a POV of an archetypal type a. A very tsuntsun woman wonders if her love interest is strong enough to handle the her tsuntsun tendencies; in the deredere chorus, she nearly begs him to be strong enough.
Usually deredere ("Type B")
- "Slide" by the Goo Goo Dolls.
- "Just The Girl" by the Click Five.
- If it's about the same girl "Angel To You [Devil to Me]" is about, then she's definitely a Type B tsundere.
- "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks reads like the image of a Type B.
Unsorted
- The Rolling Stones song "Under My Thumb", where the narrator celebrates finally gaining leverage and making it with a Tsundere.
- The Garth Brooks song "She's Every Woman", referenced on the quotes page. So very, very much.
- Freedom Call's "Queen of My World" makes some reference to this trope with the "Queen" in the lyrics.
- Another male example appears to be the subject of Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold".
- "Every Other Time" by LFO.
- "Puppy Love" by Japanese Girl Group Perfume mentions "tsunderation" (see the translated lyrics).
- Orianthi's "Shut Up and Kiss Me" sounds like a song about Belligerent Sexual Tension, and she's the Tsundere.
You miss my lips, my kiss, my laugh |
- The obscure Victor Herbert song "Peggy's a Creature of Moods." Two of Peggy's moods have verses to themselves, and they are the Irish brogue equivalents of deredere and tsuntsun.
- Elvis Presley's "Moody Blue":
Well, it's hard to be a gambler, bettin' on the number |
- The Fratellis and their "For The Girl" on both sides.
- Selena Gomez's "Round and Round" describes a male Tsundere of indeterminate type.
You see me standing there |
- The Cyril Tawney song 'Chicken On A Raft' (recently re-popularized by the viral website http://www.chickenonaraft.com/) makes reference to a girl whose "heart was like a pusser's shower,/ Run hot to cold in a quarter of an hour!"
- Taylor Swift's song "The Way I Loved You" alludes to a tsundere-like relationship in the chorus, as compared to a more traditional, nonviolent one she shares currently. It stands out, because most of her other songs carry an Unlucky Childhood Friend/I Want My Beloved to Be Happy feeling.
But I miss |
- Irony by ClariS was the song used for the Ore Imo opening; Translation goes here.
- Bowling for Soup's "Not a Love Song" on the part of the singer.
- Space have written songs about both kinds. The girl in 'Quiet Beach' seems to be a Type A tsundere, and the girl in 'The Ballad Of Tom Jones' is an extreme one. 'Turn Me On To Spiders', meanwhile, is about a Type B.
She's scared of the spiders and she's scared of the dark |
- Nicki Minaj's 'Right Through Me' is definitely from the point of view of one of these:
What are we doing/ Could you see through me/ |
- Ludo's song "Love Me Dead" is practically a tsundere national anthem.
Bitter and dumb, you're my sugarplum |
- You want to go back to the Main Article? Can't you get there on your own? Baka... here, I might as well give you a link. ...But, I'm not doing this because I like you or anything. I just happened to have one lying around that I needed to get rid of! What do you mean, you don't believe me?! Why are you grinning like that?! GET OUT!! ...Baka...
