Top 10 songs and hits by BRAHMAN
The Tripod QuestionBRAHMAN
A track included on BRAHMAN’s fifth album, Superkoku, which drew attention as the band’s first album where, aside from covers, all original songs have Japanese titles and Japanese lyrics.
The intro, a guitar arpeggio that’s pop yet tinged with melancholy set to a triple meter, immediately grabs your heart.
From the title, which means “to doubt those in power,” you get the sense of witnessing a history in which people of every era have repeatedly questioned the qualities of their leaders.
With its powerful message and lyrical words and melody that stir the soul, this number conveys the depth of the band BRAHMAN.
ZBRAHMAN
This is “Z,” included on the second album A FORLORN HOPE.
After a fierce intro, the song shifts and unfolds with TOSHI-LOW’s spoken, intimate vocal delivery, conveying the message: “Follow the path you believe in.” The distinctive guitar melody underpinning the vocals seems to embody the song’s worldview.
When you’re lost or losing confidence, it points you toward a single, clear path.
The gentle yet powerful melody resonates beautifully and fills you with a sense of nobility.
Sai no KawaraBRAHMAN
This song is the lead track from the 4th single “Hekireki,” released in 2011, and is also included on their 5th album “Chokatsu.” Despite being under three minutes long, its thrilling arrangement—with multiple tempo changes throughout—speaks to BRAHMAN’s high level of musicianship and sense of balance.
The reason the rapidly shifting beats never feel unnatural is that the consistent message and catchy melody together forge a unifying theme for the track.
It’s a number that reveals the depth of BRAHMAN as a band—distinct from groups that rely on momentum alone.
tonightBRAHMAN
Released as the 8th single and included on the 7th album “梵唄 -bonbai-,” this track features a comfortably laid-back shuffle beat.
Used as the theme song for the film “Ah, Wilderness,” it departs from BRAHMAN’s typical mix of crossover sounds and world-music influences; instead, its simple yet beautiful melody resonates deeply.
It’s also an irresistible rock tune for fans, featuring guest vocals by Takeshi Hosomi, known for his work with the rock band ELLEGARDEN, among others.
SEE OFFBRAHMAN
A song that has re-recorded versions included on the 3rd album “A MAN OF THE WORLD” and the 7th album “ETERNAL RECURRENCE.” It’s a refreshingly fast-paced track brimming with melodic hardcore energy, with catchy melodies and backing vocals that crank up the excitement.
Since the band’s trademark folk-music vibe is relatively subdued here, it’s likely an easy entry point for BRAHMAN newcomers.
Despite being simple and short, it’s a number that evokes the heat of a live show.
BEYOND THE MOUNTAINBRAHMAN
“Beyond the Mountain,” whose hallmark at live shows is clapping along to the rhythm, always whips the crowd into a frenzy.
The fiery back-and-forth between the vocals and the band is the highlight here.
For those unfamiliar with BRAHMAN, you might wonder, “A mix of folk music and hardcore?!” But this track embodies that fusion perfectly, so it could be the ideal entry point—give it a try as your first song!
BASISBRAHMAN
A track included on their second overall release and first album on a major label, A FORLORN HOPE.
