You To YouASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION 『You To You (feat. ROTH BART BARON)』Music Video

A song by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION (hereafter referred to as Ajikan), released digitally on March 9, 2022.

Masafumi Gotoh, Ajikan’s vocalist, shows off his clear, soaring high notes in this track as well, but he’s also a very compelling singer in how he uses and delivers his lower range.

In this song, particularly in the A-melody sections, he presents a firmly grounded, resonant low voice.

If you pay attention to how he phrases the ends of lines, I think you’ll get a better sense of the appeal of his lower register.

The contrast with the expansive high tones heard in the chorus is also one of the track’s highlights.

Asian Kung-Fu Generation – Yuugure No Aka

This is a hidden gem by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, the four-piece rock band affectionately known as Ajikan, and it was included as the B-side to their smash hit “Rewrite.” The steady, understated guitar work is cool and incredibly satisfying, isn’t it? Have you ever watched a sunset dye the sky deep red and felt the grandeur of nature, realizing how small we humans are and how trivial your worries really are? This is the song I want you to listen to in those moments.

On the sandASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION Masafumi Gotoh Suna no Ue

This song, Suna no Ue (On the Sand), was created by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s frontman, Masafumi Gotoh, with a wish for recovery after the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Gotoh wrote and composed the song himself, and single-handedly handled the recording using a battery-powered keyboard, an acoustic guitar, and his own handclaps.

When people are lost or anxious, they’re often just doing their best to get through the present, and even thinking about the future can be painful.

This number is meant to let a bit of wind into those feelings—a song that gives you a small reason to look forward.

Although it’s the title track of the fourth album, it’s a very short piece, just over a minute long.

Born from a pre-show jam session, it preserves each member’s individuality as is, resulting in a track that, in a sense, epitomizes ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION.

A passionate message song from ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION that confronts the self—past, present, and future.
