Top 10 songs and hits by BRAHMAN
ARRIVAL TIMEBRAHMAN
This is the major-label debut single by BRAHMAN, a band that has been crafting numerous legends on the indie scene since their formation in 1995.
The song prominently features BRAHMAN’s trademark oriental-tinged melodies, with a three-beat rhythm carrying a nostalgic tune that leaves a strong impression.
As the track progresses, the beat shifts; the same melody is layered as backing vocals, and elements of melodic hardcore are woven in—showcasing an exceptional arranging prowess that vividly embodies their stylistic commitment.
It’s a gem of a song that reveals the depth of the band known as BRAHMAN.
Answer For…BRAHMAN
A track that brilliantly allows a band style—one that fuses mixture sound with ethnic music, which is hard to picture at first glance—to coexist within a single song.
It’s a song recorded during their indie-era masterpiece “A MAN OF THE WORLD” and rerecorded for their 7th album “ETERNAL RECURRENCE,” and you can really feel the impact in the contrast between the verse and the chorus.
Changing the mood and tempo multiple times within a performance is a demanding arrangement that’s tough for many bands unless their breathing is perfectly in sync, yet they execute it flawlessly live as well—this number showcases the caliber of the band BRAHMAN.
PLACEBOBRAHMAN
Set to a triple-time rhythm, it sounds bright at first listen, but there’s a certain shadow in the melody and chord progression, isn’t there? It’s a song vocalist TOSHI-LOW wrote for a friend who passed away, included on their third album, THE MIDDLE WAY.
The lyrics were written by overlaying a childhood friend who disappeared with a friend in the present, and they convey the bittersweetness behind the fun and the feeling of not wanting it to end.
With vocals that are powerful yet tinged with sadness and emptiness, it’s a track that resonates deeply—one you should listen to at least once.
BRAHMAN's masterpieces and popular songs (11–20)
Truth, Goodness, and BeautyBRAHMAN
A song whose title alone conveys a powerful message, signifying the greatest value conceivable as a human ideal.
It opens the 7th album “Bonbai,” and its universal themes—life’s value and meaning, what we seek, and what we ought to accomplish—pierce the heart.
Shifting from clean guitar arpeggios to a fast, shuffle-driven groove, it hurls questions that resonate deeply.
In its brevity, the track condenses BRAHMAN’s worldview and musicality.
DEEPBRAHMAN
This work is Brahman’s first single, “Deep.” It was re-recorded with a different arrangement for the album “A FORLORN HOPE.” I think the title “Deep” here means something like the bottom or rock bottom, rather than “profound.” It’s a piece packed with a powerful message: rise up from there.
Although it’s a track with strong hardcore elements, even listening now, I feel Brahman’s core has never changed.
Brahman, who can stick to such an incredibly cool style, is truly a one-of-a-kind band!
Its limit ~sorekiri~BRAHMAN
A song chosen as the theme for the nonfiction movie “BRAHMAN,” which traces the footsteps of BRAHMAN as they marked their 20th anniversary in 2015.
With its driving drum beat, catchy guitar riffs, melodies that convey both a sense of melancholy and an energetic pop appeal, and the interplay between lead and backing vocals, it’s a rock tune packed with everything that makes BRAHMAN compelling.
It feels like the culmination of the broad musicality they’ve built up over the years, making it a fitting number for the band’s nonfiction film.
FOR ONE’S LIFEBRAHMAN
This is “For One’s Life,” the opening track on their second album, A FORLORN HOPE.
From the fleeting, fragile intro to the key change that surges into a passionate verse that makes you feel “life” itself—it’s irresistible! It’s under two minutes long and written in English, yet it’s packed tightly with ideas that make you reflect on life.
That’s how Brahman’s music deepens life.
And on the album, the flow into the following classic, “Basis,” is absolutely perfect!
