Masterpiece and popular songs by Gesu no Kiwami Otome.

Digital MoleGesu no Kiwami Otome.

Gesu no Kiwami Otome “Digital Mole”

Among their many songs, this is one that makes me think, “This is so quintessentially this band.” That’s because it pairs lyrics that face the self while casting a slight wistful gaze at reality with a brisk rhythm and a solid bassline.

LaskaGesu no Kiwami Otome.

Gesu no Kiwami Otome “Laska”

It’s a song included on the album “Miryo-ku ga Sugoi yo” (“The Charm Is Incredible”).

I listen to it when I’m feeling gloomy and craving something new and fresh.

It might be a song that modern people, who often find themselves in stressful environments, can relate to.

WHITE WALTZGesu no Kiwami Otome.

white waltz (adult ver.)

It’s a stylish song characterized by a duple meter.

Personally, I really like the mature vibe of the melody up until the chorus.

The bassline moves quite a lot, but it really feels like this song exists because of that bass.

The sudden rhythm changes are interesting, too.

HatsumiGesu no Kiwami Otome.

Gesu no Kiwami Otome – Hatsumi drum cover (drums)

To be honest, the whispered voice and spoken lines in the A-melody make it hard to catch what’s being said when you just listen.

But at the same time, I genuinely felt that the emotions came through more than enough because of that.

This band often has songs with a speech-like delivery, and I think that’s one of their charms as well.

Shall we go, Nadeshiko?Gesu no Kiwami Otome.

Gesu no Kiwami Otome. Iko Kanade Shiko mp3

Unusually, this is a song with drummer Honai Koka in the main role.

Throughout the track it just keeps repeating a single message, and I don’t really understand what it’s saying, but it’s a fun song.

I quite like the lively guitar in the intro.

Mochi GirlGesu no Kiwami Otome.

Gesu no Kiwami Otome “Mochi Girl” (Official Music Video)

It’s a song that single-mindedly laments, “I want to eat mochi!” Yet the words used to convey this one message are remarkably skillful.

The track is built mainly around synthesizer and guitar, with the former especially bringing out its poppy charm—I find it really cute.

The reason for zero is a bouquetGesu no Kiwami Otome.

hoshifuru yoruni hanatabao

The sheer number of words is as striking as ever, but with this song I sense something close to rap.

It’s the piece that later became the basis for “A Bouquet on a Starry Night,” which was included on the album.

Personally, maybe because this one left a stronger impression on me when I first heard it, I prefer it.
