Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

In this article, we’ll introduce a wide selection of their songs all at once!

We’ll go through recommended tracks in order—staples at their live shows and songs with enduring fan popularity—so this will be especially helpful for those new to BRAHMAN.

At the moment of deathBRAHMAN

“Transcendence,” the fifth album by BRAHMAN, released on February 20, 2013, made a strong start by debuting at No.

4 on the Oricon chart.

This song is the third track on that album: “Imawa no Kiwa” (At the Brink of Death).

It sings of rising to one’s feet here and now, in a time of hardship, with a do-or-die resolve.

BRAHMAN featuring KO (SLANG) “Shuhari” Music Video (Full Version)

Shu-Ha-RiBRAHMAN

A single by BRAHMAN released on April 12, 2017.

The intro drums spark excitement for what’s about to begin, followed by overlapping, almost screamed vocals: “Mamori, yabure, hanare” (“Protect, break, separate”).

It’s an ultimately cool track.

The music video, a collaboration with KO (SLANG), is also a must-see.
