[Ajikan] A Collection of Popular Songs by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION [Latest & Classics] (11–20)
A flower called “you”ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
It is the second single, released on October 16, 2003.
In the protagonist’s uneventful, unchanging everyday life, “you” appear and bring about change.
It’s a song in which the protagonist encourages the tearful “you,” saying, “Let’s share the pain.”
SkinsNEW!ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
Asian Kung-Fu Generation, celebrating their 30th anniversary, began early digital release of “Skins” in April 2026.
The song was written as the opening theme for the third cour of the final season of the anime Dr.
STONE SCIENCE FUTURE.
Created as a tune for dancing together while embracing our differences in an era marked by division and anxiety, it features a lightly stepping rhythm and supple groove, blending an easygoing pop feel with unwavering determination.
It’s a track you’ll want to play when you’re trying to break free from everyday stagnation or when you need a dose of positive energy.
Fragments of the FutureNEW!ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
This is a quintessential rock band track, marked by a powerful guitar sound and crisp drums.
The guitar parts are mainly power chords and octave playing, so the fretting should be relatively simple.
However, because the song’s bridge-muted sections are a key feature, take time to practice thoroughly—sound design matters, including your amp settings, to get a cool, tight tone.
For drums, the challenge will likely be the hi-hat patterns played in sixteenth notes.
Drill your stickwork—such as up-down (Moeller) techniques—so you can keep up with the song’s tempo.
hometownASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
That light, buoyant power-pop sound feels so good, doesn’t it? It’s a song packed with the charm of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION and serves as the title track of their album “Hometown,” released in December 2018.
Chosen as the theme song for the BS TV Tokyo drama “Kanpai at the Miki Clinic,” it added a refreshing touch to the story.
The simple yet full-bodied band ensemble and Masafumi Goto’s emotional vocals evoke the warmth of a “place to return to.” This track also played an important role in signaling the band’s direction during their first album production in about three and a half years.
Give it a listen when you’re feeling a bit worn out by daily life or want to regain a positive mindset.
It’s sure to energize you for tomorrow.
I want to touch, I want to be sure (feat. Moeka Shiotsuka)ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
Featuring Moeka Shiotsuka from Hitsujibungaku as a guest vocalist, this track strikes the heart with its poignant yet warm interplay of voices.
The unique sense of weightless drift created by the blend of Masafumi Gotoh’s and Shiotsuka’s vocals gently accompanies the listener’s heart.
Released as a single in October 2020, it also drew attention as the theme song for Daihatsu’s Tanto commercial.
Though the recording was actually done in London in 2019, it’s hard not to feel a sense of fate in how the subsequent social climate came to resonate with the song’s lyrical world.
Also included on the album Planet Folks, this piece is perfect for nights spent thinking of someone dear or as a calm soundtrack for a quiet drive.
Savor this sweet pop song that opened a new door for the band.
SolaninASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

Blue TrainASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
