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.

Hit and popular songs by Akai Ko-en (11–20)

to swell; to become soggy; to soften (after absorbing water)akai kouen

It’s a very slow-tempo rock number.

It’s included on the mini album “Walking with Bremen,” released in 2011.

The beautiful, dreamlike choral work and distinctive rhythm are striking.

The distorted guitar tone feels like it presses right against your chest.

Narcolepsyakai kouen

It’s the 11th track on the album Junjo Randoseru, released in 2016.

Narcolepsy means ‘hypersomnia,’ and true to its name, the song gives a dreamy, drowsy impression.

The contrast between the soothing, gentle vocals and the soaring, climactic chorus is addictive.

Nishi-Tokyoakai kouen

Akai Koen live in Nishitokyo (ROCK IN JAPAN 2016)

Nishi-Tokyoakai kouen

This is a song included on the full album Junjo Randoseru, released on March 23, 2016.

It’s a song about a girl who grew up in West Tokyo—technically Tokyo, but different from a typical city upbringing.

The lyrics are amusing and surprisingly relatable, yet the melody is so cool that you can’t help but fall for the contrast.

Short Hopeakai kouen

It’s the fifth track on the 2016 album Junjō Randoseru.

For Akai Koen, it’s unusual—a stylish city pop vibe that feels perfect for nighttime.

The sound is closer to funk or jazz than rock.
