[Ajikan] A roundup of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s popular songs [Latest & Classics]

MustangASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Mustang”

It’s a song Goto wrote, inspired by the manga Solanin, and “Mustang” is apparently the name of the guitar owned by the manga’s protagonist.

Thanks to that connection, a remixed version of the song became the ending theme for the film adaptation of Solanin.

After the festivalASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

AKFG – After the Festival 「お祭りのあと」 - Sub Spanish

It’s a song that gently portrays the end of the night.

The scene, suffused with quiet and loneliness, is expressed with delicate words.

While it conveys feelings of isolation and emptiness, it also carries a fleeting beauty and a glimmer of hope.

Released in March 2017, it reached No.

15 on the Oricon chart.

It is also included on the album “BEST HIT AKG 2 (2012–2018).” The lyrical lyrics and melodic sound, characteristic of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, are especially appealing.

It’s a track you might want to listen to when lingering in the afterglow of a festival or during a quiet night.

DororoASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION 『Dororo』

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!

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Marching Band”

It’s a single released on November 30, 2011.

It was written specifically as a CM song for Benesse’s distance learning program, the Shinken Zemi High School Course.

It’s a passionate cheer song that gives a push to people grappling with worries and anxieties, such as exam takers.

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 – Siren (Version 1 PV)

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.

World World WorldASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

Asian Kung Fu Generation World World World + Atarashii Sekai Music Video

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.
