[Ajikan] A roundup of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s popular songs [Latest & Classics] (61–70)

You To YouASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

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.

A single by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION released in March 2019, written as the theme song for the TV anime Dororo.

It’s quintessentially them—a guitar rock track with satisfying sound production that makes great use of deep, heavy bass.

As for singing this song at karaoke, aiming for a high score should be relatively easy for anyone.

The melody is on the simpler side, so there aren’t any particularly difficult parts to sing.

Most people should be able to sing it in the original key.

Karaoke backing tracks may not fully reproduce the original’s satisfying rock groove, but keep the lively energy—don’t worry if it gets a bit rough—and power through to the end!

This track kicks off with a sudden, siren-like howling.

It features a guitar sound that’s like a special effect—something you don’t hear often in Asian Kung-Fu Generation’s music.

Before you know it, as you’re listening, you get drawn into the song’s introspective atmosphere.

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.
