This is a track from “Roclassick.” It’s a live staple that quotes a phrase from Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No.

9, “From the New World.” By blending iconic classical motifs with a powerful band sound and vocals, it becomes a razor-sharp piece.

The rock-infused harmonies between the violin and guitar are a must-hear!

Released in 2011, this rock number dramatically fuses the band’s signature, wistfully beautiful violin tones with an intense band sound.

As the title suggests, the lyrics use “hide-and-seek” as a motif to express the emotional disconnect with a loved one—you should be right beside me, yet I can’t find you—as well as a powerful sense of love.

Everyone is Santa ClausBIGMAMA

A song by BIGMAMA, known for their unique sound that fuses rock and strings, included on the Christmas-themed EP “Snow Motion.ep.” Released in December 2020, this work carries a heartwarming message that anyone can be someone’s Santa, making it a moving number.

Acoustic, English, and kids’ versions featuring children’s voices were also released, and in November 2021 it was adapted into a picture book by Masato Kanai.

The lyrics depict a world where anyone can give simple kindness without formal conditions or constraints, sure to resonate with anyone thinking of someone dear.

It’s a perfect track for family time at Christmas or as gentle background music on a quiet night of reflection.

#DIV/0!BIGMAMA

It’s a rock number with strikingly dark lyrics.

For this song, I especially want you to pay attention to the lyrics and the music video’s expression.

In the chorus, the numbers count down from 9 to 1, and from 4 onward, one member disappears from the screen with each count.

The fragile singing voice of the last remaining member, vocalist Kanai, pierces deeply into the heart.

Sweet DreamsBIGMAMA

It’s a song that embraces the worries, sadness, and confusion everyone feels in everyday life.

The highlight is definitely the chorus and the reverb-laden hook—mysterious and filled with tenderness, as if saying, “Let’s dream a sweet dream that won’t melt, so we can truly smile in the end.” A highly recommended track for when you feel like you’re about to lose heart.

A track included on the 2013 album “Kimi Omou, Yue ni Ware Ari” (“I Think of You, Therefore I Am”).

With a refreshing, soda-like sound, it’s a rock number perfect for summer.

One note blows away the sense of stagnation in work and relationships.

Highly recommended when you want to feel refreshed!
