What are the Darkest J-Pop songs you can think of
Shiina is hands down the darknest Jpop artist i've listened too. I really want to find more music as dark as hers. Any recommendations?
Here's some of her darkest tracks Ayabambi add to this already sublimely terrifying masterpiece. I love how she flows in time to the music with her knife. This is possibly the darkest Jpop song I've ever heard it's soo chilling and perfect. Mainly her distorted vocals towards to end they sound so demonic. Another sublime track from her. The album instrumental is much darker. Also check out: Darkest tracks from other J-Pop artists: Utada: Kremlin Dusk Devil Inside Teiku 5 COLORS You make me want to be a man Play Ball Be My Last Passion Ayumi: Duty End of the world SURREAL NO FUTURE Last Minute Terminal Missing Petal Return Road Crossroad Moon Sending Mail Last Angel Moments Rainbow Mad World P.S II Monochrome Alterna HAPPY ENDING Game HOPE or PAIN Liar Ever Free Is This LOVE? Miliyah: BABYLON Lonely Hearts Shape Of Love Reisei to Jounetsu no Aida Tomoko: LITTLE RED FOREST Frozen Raspberry Snow LIVING DEAD DINER GIRLS and basically her whole album: "TOMMY ♥ ICE CREAM HEAVEN ♥ FOREVER" I know all Utada & Ayu's discography. So any recommendations outside of that will be amazing!!

Interesting thread!
I would recommend you tommy heavenly6's whole discography if you haven't listened to it yet, Gothic pink is my favorite). Chihiro Onitsuka also have some dark songs (mostly all of them are for me tbh), try to listen to Dreamer Sonic, PHYSCHO LADY'S RAIN and 祈りが言葉に変わる頃(NAIL SCRATCH VERSION) from her latest album (even if the whole album isn't that "dark" I really recommend it, it is one of my favorites albums ever, everything about it is perfection). I also would recommend you INCUBUS from Acid Black Cherry, inside of me from VAMPS (or anything from them). And even though it is really, really dark I would also recommend you listening to The Mortal band. edit: Aimer does also have some great dark songs, try listening to Insane dream or 誰か海を.

Like what Toni said , Acid Black Cherry's INCUBUS is a great dark song . Jigsaw as well (the PV still scares me to date)
Wakeshima Kanon's earlier works were quite dark gothic ish like Suna no Oshiro . Her older works up to now are still my favourite as MALICE MIZER's Mana had a big hand in composing her music Also , some of AKIHIDE's solo works are some of his darkest abstract sounding such as Maria , Circus , Namida no Kawa from his debut solo album Amber I'm not sure if you're open to listen to Johnny groups but they have some pretty good rather dark sounding songs too

It isn't the darkest sounding, more of a hard rock sound. Most of the darkness is in the lyrics.
English Translation My heart... is still locked in your memories. My body... I search for one for I have none. Today I will once again see someone somewhere shed tears, And again it's my destiny to return nothing but a cold smile. As I hold on to this fate that cannot be abandoned, I am standing here right now. Like an eternally-blooming flower's beauty, The persistent feelings continued to blossom in my heart. The clouds are torn into pieces in the guilty sky, I embraced tightly the neverending remorse. Every "pain" has a "beginning" somewhere, And an "ending" that surely awaits. The warmth I felt in you on that day too, It faded away quietly till my hands felt empty. Only the sounds of lost hope seem to increase, I threw away everything to be here now. Like an eternally-blooming flower's beauty, The persistent feelings continued to blossom in my heart. The dying love, the cruel dream, I embraced tightly the neverending remorse. This world, It needs a solitude Called "truth". Your shadow, Your dreams, I was chasing after them... As I hold on to this fate that cannot be abandoned, I am standing here right now. Like an eternally-blooming flower's beauty, The persistent feelings continued to blossom in my heart. The clouds are torn into pieces in the guilty sky, I embraced tightly the neverending remorse. Wish for the future... And continue dancing... For ever... Translated and transliterated by DarkMirage http://lyrics.darkmirage.com

A lot of Gackt's songs are very dark and deep. A few I can remember:

It's not dark instrument and music wise but lyrically it's dark.
20-CRY- by Miliyah Kato. The lyrics speak about the loneliness and hopelessness a twenty year old feels. That song was comforting to me, in a dark way.

Itoshigo yo by RURUTIA, for sure. Both the song and the PV are unsettling, but especially the ballad version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y61Ljta2T-o
Excerpt from the lyrics: You don’t have to worry about her anymore Even if she does come and try to dig her claws into you and take you away again I’ll beat her to death with these hands Don’t resist, entrust your everything to me Only I can revive you I’ll shred your wings So you don’t fly away somewhere
