This song is included on “YON,” released in September 2014.

It’s one of 04 Limited Sazabys’ signature tracks.

The vibe is refreshing, making the title “Swim” feel spot-on.

The lyric “Swim toward the direction you prefer while you’re struggling” really hits home.

The high notes in the chorus are addictive.

It’s included as the third track on their 2010 debut album, “Marking all!!!”.

It starts with a tender, sung passage, then goes all-in and blasts through to end in a flash—a classic melodic hardcore pattern that’s insanely catchy and punk.

At shows, the crowd instantly erupts with stage divers.

This is a song included on the major debut single “TOY.” The lyrics could be interpreted as being about romance, beginning with the opening line, “Even though we understood each other so well.” There are many parts that seem to suggest it’s about thinking of a former lover after a breakup.

A track included as the first song on the full album “eureka,” released in September 2016.

The music video has drawn attention because it was directed by Masakazu Fukatsu, known for his work with ONE OK ROCK, UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, and SCANDAL.

Imagined as a song for the morning of a departure, both the lyrics and the melody convey a refreshing, positive impression.

This is a song included on “monolith,” released in February 2014.

The footage is from a live performance, and I think the lighting suits the song.

The visuals perfectly match the lyric “Let all stars falling.”

Many of you have probably heard them on TV, as their songs have been featured as drama theme songs and in commercials.

They’re 04 Limited Sazabys, a four-piece rock band from Nagoya.

GEN’s distinctive high-tone vocals on bass and lead add a strong presence to their tracks.

Another key appeal is how, even with Japanese lyrics, the pronounced words feel sonically pleasing.

The music cleverly weaves in a catchiness that becomes addictive as you listen, making you want to sing along before you know it.

From their first major-label album, “CAVU.” It’s a sharp, cool track with a slightly different vibe from Four Limits’ usual bright and catchy sound.

The kind of melody that sticks in your head after one listen and makes you want to move your body.

It’s surely one of those songs that will get the crowd going wild at live shows.
