Alexandros’ iconic and popular songs

A hugely popular rock band,

I’ve put together a collection of songs by [Alexandros].[Alexandros] is a four-piece rock band, and their grand, cinematic tracks as well as their clean and refreshing songs are incredibly appealing.Their biggest news would have to be the band’s name change in 2014.They originally performed under the name “[Champagne],” but were forced to change it following a claim by the Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne.Even so, they overcame that setback with ease and continue to thrive to this day under a band name that carries on the brackets [ ] in its form.

[Alexandros]’s classic and popular songs (41–50)

Included on their 4th single.

The gentle, carefully played guitar tone in the intro leaves a strong impression.

It’s a masterpiece that conveys Mr.

Kawakami’s feelings as he quit his salaryman job and chose the dream and hope of being in a band.

The Japanese lyrics, quiet yet resolute, pierce straight through.

This is the song where everyone’s wondered, “How many r’s are there?” It’s a live-show staple and a hype anthem loved by rock kids.

At shows, there’s even a call-and-response before the song, so it’s a real crowd-pleaser.

With a simple kick drum beat, it keeps building toward the chorus.

The chorus’s beautiful melody is just as great as you’d expect—guaranteed sing-along.

This song has an extremely relaxed and gentle atmosphere.

Yohei Kawakami’s tender, heartfelt vocals seep in smoothly, making you want to keep listening.

It’s a wonderful track that conveys a strong determination to fulfill one’s desires, and listening to it makes me feel like I should hold a strong will too.

It’s a song with a short story about a protagonist who says, “I’m different from other people, but I want to cherish you—I want you to keep smiling,” and sets out to meet you.

The conversational, narrative recitation style of singing, along with the slow melody and tempo, makes the lyrics easy to follow.

Although it’s a song about parting, it’s not just filled with the loneliness of looking back; it’s a song that makes you want to keep those times as beautiful memories.

Many of [Alexandros]’s songs mix English and Japanese in their lyrics.

The Japanese lines convey the message directly, while the English lines gently wrap around you.

One track included on the best-of album “Where’s My History?” by the rock band [Alexandros], known for their classic song “Wataridori,” is “Kaze ni Natte.” Many people graduate, move on to higher education in spring, and start a new chapter in life.

Among them, some may not be satisfied with their lives so far and deliberately choose a thorny path.

This song is perfect for those people! With lyrics that ask, “Is it okay to be who I am now? Am I proud of myself?” it’s a song I’d love anyone setting out to find a new self this spring to listen to.

This is the Pocky commercial featuring [Alexandros].

The footage of them performing in a school gym might evoke a sense of nostalgia and youthful memories for some viewers.

And the message displayed over the video—“It’s okay because we have our friends”—really hits home, doesn’t it? In the commercial, they’re playing this very track, which is set to be released in September 2024.

While the arrangement carries a touch of youthful energy, it also showcases their signature freshness and smooth melodic lines, resulting in a captivating song.

The tie-in with Ezaki Glico’s new Pocky TV commercial is also generating buzz.
