The Cro-Magnons’ classic songs. Recommended tracks (31–40)
full swingZa Kuromaniyonzu
This commercial highlights how the power of AI is being added to RAKURAKU Cloud, which has long stood by the struggles of people working in companies, and conveys our desire to further enhance their comfort.
By showing a digest of previously aired commercials featuring Kenichi Takito, Natsuko Yokozawa, and Mone Kamishiraishi, it looks back on how various challenges were solved and, with a touch of humor, expresses the intention to leverage those lessons for an even better future.
The song that further accentuates the strong stride toward the future depicted in the visuals is “Full Swing” by The Cro-Magnons.
With a band sound that is both powerful and refreshing, it clearly conveys the spirit of tackling everything with full force.
Motorcycles, leather jackets, and curryZa Kuromaniyonzu
Needless to say, their seventh single from 2010, “Motorbikes, Leather Jackets, and Curry,” is packed with things guys love.
I remember when it came on the radio—I literally stopped, listened closely, and couldn’t help but grin.
Curry and bikes pop up in their songs from time to time, but this track is just overflowing with love for them; listening to it feels both endearing and heartwarming.
The lyrics are incredible at painting scenes, and they make me wonder whether I’m able to pour that much love into anything myself.
Be gentle with SaturnZa Kuromaniyonzu
“Be Gentle to Saturn” was included as the final track on The Cro-Magnons’ debut album The Cro-Magnons, released in 2006.
When I first saw the title, it reminded me of The Blue Hearts’ “Be Kind to People,” but rest assured: it’s 100% The Cro-Magnons in flavor, a rock tune brimming with the feel of a mysterious band and an unidentified-creature vibe.
Whether it’s humor or deadly serious, it’s a fun track sung with the peculiar sense of balance characteristic of early Cro-Magnons.
Human MachZa Kuromaniyonzu
“Human Mach” from their 7th album, YETI vs CROMAGNON, released in 2013.
As the title suggests, it’s a song delivered at an irresistibly satisfying tempo featuring blisteringly fast eight-beat.
As expected, a rock band truly comes alive on stage—this track radiates a powerful, energetic live feel.
It’s a song that brings back the feeling from when we first discovered that fast is cool—the kind of rock that stirs the deep, primal power within us.
Jump on!! Bonnie!!Za Kuromaniyonzu
The 8th single from 2011 is a double A-side single with compositions by Hiroto Kōmoto and Masatoshi Mashima.
Among them is “TobinoRe!! Bonnie!!,” composed by Hiroto Kōmoto.
As the title suggests, it features an exhilarating beat that feels like galloping on horseback, blending a vibe reminiscent of old superhero team shows and even military songs—an incredibly cool track.
It’s packed with playful ideas, from its rugged, masculine choruses and rhythm changes to the final breath, offering plenty of twists that keep it engaging throughout.
The Cro-Magnons’ classic songs. Recommended tracks (41–50)
Cro-Magnon StompZa Kuromaniyonzu
The song “Kuro-Magnon Stomp,” included as the third track on their first single “Tally-Ho,” released in 2006.
It’s famous for being performed mainly as the first song at their live shows.
A wild, power-packed track true to The Cro-Magnons, driven by a raw rock beat.
It was also performed first at their very first live show, and although it’s not a single, I’d say it’s one of the songs that symbolizes them.
Needless to say, Masatoshi Mashima’s guitar solo is razor-sharp.
doerZa Kuromaniyonzu
This song, included on The Cro-Magnons’ ninth album “JUNGLE 9,” was released in 2015.
The lyrics and music were written by Masatoshi Mashima, and it was used as the CM song for JA Bank’s “JA Direct Sales” commercial.
Though very simple and short, it’s a quintessential Cro-Magnons number with straightforward, punchy lyrics that make anyone want to start singing.
