Bands similar to My Hair Is Bad.

I absolutely fell in love with their last two albums. If someone has a recommendation on bands similar to MHIB, it would be quite helpful.

Thanks in advance and love you all <3.

Songs about self-encouragement

I am looking for self-encouraging songs to listen to when I am feeling down...
I am thinking of something like Back Number's Suiheisen or Mrs Green Apple's Que Sera Sera...
The deeper the lyrics, the better.
Even songs about acceptance of the inevitable like Kawa no Nagare no Youni work well...
Also... songs about kindness/being kind to others would be nice.
NO LOVE SONGS... Any genre is fine.

Thank you!

森田童子 Doji Morita - For example, If I die たとえばぼくが死んだら

Never miss a song youtube recommends you on your feed.

I literally cried to this song and her other song, our failure ぼくたちの失敗. I almost never cry when listening to songs..

I am hooked with Doji Morita’s voice and I listen to almost all of her songs today on loop. I am also sad she had passed away already..

Need help identifying the song!

Can anyone help me identify the song in this short? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-k37jHsoNpA

I've asked my phone to identify it, no luck. I tried typing in the lyrics at the end into Google and no luck there either. I was hoping the sound tag at the bottom would lead me directly to the song but I tried searching "Ray of Light" and it just led me to Fullmetal Alchemist..
