If I could become a constellationkessoku bando

[LIVE Footage] Kessoku Band “If I Could Become a Constellation” LIVE at Shuka Festival / In-Show Song from “Bocchi the Rock!”

Kessoku Band is a four-piece rock band that appears in the TV anime Bocchi the Rock!.

Their track “If I Could Be a Constellation,” included on their first album Kessoku Band, makes a strong impression with its funky guitar sound and slap-based bass lines.

Since it’s an in-anime song from a hugely popular series, it should get the crowd going if you perform it on a school festival stage.

However, if the band isn’t tightly in sync, it can end up sounding disjointed, so be sure to practice thoroughly both individually and as a band before the performance.
