Transcendence, BRAHMAN’s fifth album, released on February 20, 2013.

It got off to a strong start, debuting at No.

4 on the Oricon chart.

This track is the seventh song on the album.

It’s a number distinguished by its driving, exhilarating sound.

The electric guitar tones that seem to cut through the pitch-black darkness in the middle of the song are striking.

THE ONLY MAYBRAHMAN

THE ONLY MAYBRAHMAN

An aggressive, up-tempo track that often starts live with a nostalgic guitar phrase.

The intense chorus work intertwined with a rapid two-beat, followed by a divine pre-chorus and a sweeping, grand chorus, feels like it packs in everything rock has to offer.

Silent dayBRAHMAN

Included on the album “Antinomy,” released in February 2008, this track is a soul-stirring piece from BRAHMAN.

Amid the interplay of stillness and impulse, the lyrics leave a strong impression with their sense of deep silence and introspection.

Touching on lost reunions and forgotten promises, it portrays inner conflict and self-reflection.

TOSHI-LOW’s vocals resonate deeply with listeners.

True to BRAHMAN’s style, it carries a socially conscious message, reminding us of the importance of looking inward amid quiet.

Highly recommended for those who, after listening, feel inspired to make time to face themselves.

THE SAMEBRAHMAN

This song, with its walking bass that sticks in your ears, is included on the fifth album, ETERNAL RECURRENCE, released in 2009.

The contrast between the somewhat “cute” feeling in the first half and the hard-hitting chorus really works.

It’s a hard rock number packed to the brim with energetic passion.

SpeculationBRAHMAN

Included on the 4th album “ANTINOMY.” The music video features a distinctive production centered on white, with geometric patterns and performance unfolding throughout.

The driving, fast-paced cutting is incredibly cool.

At live shows, geometric patterns are projected onto a curtain, recreating a world much like the MV.

backlightBRAHMAN

Released as a single and included on the 4th album “ANTINOMY.” The lyrics are entirely in Japanese.

It’s an unconventional song where the chorus switches to 3/4 time, yet it carries a nostalgic feel—perfect for sunsets and, as the title suggests, backlighting.

It’s a track that vividly conjures up scenes as if you could reach out and touch them.

Released on February 7, 2018, Brahman’s seventh album, “Bonbai.” This track is the 11th on the album.

It carries a faint scent of Showa-era kayōkyoku (popular songs).

A rallying song that spurs oneself on.

Especially recommended for those hesitating to take the next step or when morale is low.
