Editor-in-Chief, RAG MUSICHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

A four-piece rock band, Akai Ko-en.

They’re known for their distinctive songwriting sensibilities.

Their songs seem to emerge from a composition process where guitarist Tsuno brings in demos infused with elements of classical and contemporary music, which the other members then distill into a pop-leaning rock sound.

Let yourself be swept away by their music, guided by their credo of staying free.

Akaiko-en’s classic and popular songs (71–80)

Akaikoen – Tree (cover)

A track included on Akai Koen’s album “Mouretsu Rhythmic,” released in October 2019.

Using nature and illness as motifs, it poetically depicts human fragility and growth.

It features a distinctive sound that incorporates elements of classical and contemporary music, with experiments that defy pop and rock conventions, such as dissonance and counter-melodies.

Imbued with Yosaki Tsuno’s desire to “remain infinitely free,” the piece invites listeners to their own interpretations, which is part of its appeal.

The album “Mouretsu Rhythmic” won the Excellence Album Award at the 56th Japan Record Awards.

It’s a perfect song for those who value staying true to themselves!
