Re:Re:ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
A track included on the 2004 album “Sol-fa.” A rearranged version was used as the opening theme for the anime “Erased.” The protagonist, who regrets not fully conveying their feelings to the other person, can’t face tomorrow.
It’s a heartrending song that pleads, “It has to be you.”

This song is filled with the brilliance and bittersweetness of youth.
Released in November 2003, it’s included on the album “Kimitsunagi Five M.” Through the afterimages of summer days, it portrays life’s uncertainties and thoughts of lost dreams.
Goto’s delicate lyrics and powerful sound really resonate.
If you’ve experienced parting with someone important, you’ll likely find many parts of this song you can relate to.
A Stray Dog and the Beat of the RainNEW!ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
The single “Maigoinu to Ame no Beat,” released in May 2010.
This song was used as the opening theme for the TV anime The Tatami Galaxy.
Unusually for their music, it features a dazzling arrangement that puts the horn section front and center.
Vocalist Goto has said it was a work he felt “more attached to than ever before” at the time, and it’s filled with positive energy—urging you to move forward to the rhythm even while carrying uneasy feelings.
When you want to blow away the gloomy mood of rainy June days, try singing it at karaoke.
Welcome back, Johnny.ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, the four-piece rock band affectionately known as “Ajikan,” evokes a warm sense of home and a feeling of taking a new step forward.
Released as the lead track from their EP “Fujieda EP,” which came out in March 2026, this song was pre-released and, despite having no specific tie-in, has drawn the attention of many music fans.
Featuring Ikuko Harada of Clammbon as a guest vocalist, the track’s mid-tempo groove resonates comfortably as soft voices intertwine.
The lyrics, depicting the story of a protagonist returning home after many years, and the rich, full tone of vintage drums strike a chord.
It’s a heartwarming rock number you’ll want to play when you’re weary of the city’s clamor or when you suddenly feel like reminiscing about your hometown.
