It’s a track with a slightly unusual code-like vibe.

It’s highly distinctive, and that slightly off-kilter feel is oddly addictive.

The song’s structure is also put together extremely well, and I found it to be a wonderful piece.

It’s the kind of track that makes you want to hit play just one more time.

This song, the epitome of Alcala, who bills themselves as the “eccentric master of the rock world,” is quirky yet super catchy from the very first line: “shuppoppo, shuppoppo, gattan gattan gotton ton.” It’s an up-tempo, whirlwind track that always fires up the crowd live.

As the title suggests, this track has a slightly tropical vibe.

It’s tropical, technical, and incredibly distinctive—really cool.

Listening to it with a tropical grandma makes you want to see what that would look like, right? (lol) I feel like a tropical grandma might even show up in my dreams tonight.

They often make songs with a strong, quirky vibe, but this time it’s a slightly more pop-leaning track.

Still, because it’s Arukara, their distinctive atmosphere remains intact.

That unique mood lurking within the easy listen is irresistible, isn’t it? You’re sure to get butterflies, no doubt about it.
