It’s a single released on February 6, 2008.

The “rolling rock” refers to rock ’n’ roll.

It’s a song about lamenting one’s own ineptitude and powerlessness—wanting to change the world but being unable to—yet still choosing not to give up and to keep moving forward.

In recent years, it drew attention for being covered in the anime Bocchi the Rock!

This track starts with an impressive riff.

It’s crafted with a blend of quietness and intensity reminiscent of American grunge rock.

The difficulty level is relatively easy, so I think it’s suitable for light music club students to cover.

It’s a single released on September 23, 2004.

The lyrics carry a message to people far away who are listening to their music.

In the music video, the members perform poolside at a synchronized swimming competition, and during the routine a giant crayfish suddenly appears and disrupts the performance, creating a surreal scene.

Walk the wastelandASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

It’s a single released on March 29, 2017.

It was selected as the theme song for the animated film “The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl.” The song faithfully reflects the film’s worldview, singing about a slightly mysterious and bittersweet romance.

The music video is cleverly made, combining footage from the film with shots of a woman walking through the city, shown from behind.

The song conveys the message that while fun and happy moments are brief and fleeting, and sad or infuriating things are hard to forget, we should still sing and dance about love.

In the music video, vocalist Goto joins the dancers and dances along.

Even though there are painful, sorrowful experiences and regrets, the world keeps going on unchanged… The protagonist, who feels a sense of emptiness in that, still chooses to believe in love and keep living.

The music video features Kengo Kora, Fumi Nikaido, and Tetsushi Tanaka.
