A track from the 2012 EP “Okawari Kudasai.” For an ordinary rock band, the theme is somewhat eccentric, and the dizzying song development is truly music that only Arukara could pull off.

Even so, one of its hallmarks is the chorus with outstanding catchiness: “I want to drink mixed juice.”

When you think of Arukara, this is the song—it could be called their signature track.

Above all, the chorus that starts with “Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto” is incredibly memorable.

In the music video, they perform against a backdrop of chemical formulas and atomic symbols, which perfectly matches their technically intricate music.

You could say this is the song that cemented Arukara’s image.

Alkalar, known for their quirky, catchy, eccentric-rock persona, unleash an unexpected, serious ballad.

The lyrics tell the story of two people parted by death, the sound is immensely grand, and since it’s the final track on the album “Kocchi o Miteiru” (“Looking This Way”), it’s a song that might make you cry if you let your guard down.

Damn it.Arukara

This is a song that turns the explosive feeling of “dammit!” into music.

It opens with a scream of “dammit,” the sound is intense overall, and the vibe of “dammit” comes through.

Why not give it a listen the next time you’re feeling that way yourself?

Alcala is a rock band from Kobe whose self-hosted festival “Neko Fes” draws attention every year.

The song “Mi-Ra-I-No-O-To” is included as the closing track on their 2009 album “BOY NEXT DOOR.” Its lyrics capture languid, everyday scenes—ordinary sights everyone has witnessed—which makes it resonate even with those who aren’t in love.

You might think it’s a love song, but the chorus strongly conveys the feeling of “thinking about someone.” It’s a track that makes you want to believe in a bright future ahead.

W-wait, don’t do that.Arukara

It’s a stylish mid-tempo track.

Although it seems laid-back at a mid-tempo pace, the drums are incredibly busy, making it a very engaging listen.

The structure is also very unique and interesting.

They just have a way of getting you excited, don’t they?
