Gesu no Kiwami Otome: Masterpieces and Popular Songs (31–40)

Funky NightGesu no Kiwami Otome.

Gesu no Kiwami Otome “Funky Night”
Funky NightGesu no Kiwami Otome.

With its funky beat, this track is a perfect number to color your summer nights.

Featured on Gesu no Kiwami Otome’s sixth album, “Disco no Tamago,” it was released for streaming in May 2024.

The lyrics evoke the heat of the club and the atmosphere of the night city, while the twin vocals by Enon Kawatani and Chan-Mari are captivating.

It’s perfect for when you want to step away from the everyday and surrender yourself to the music.

Be sure to enjoy it alongside the music video, whose pop-surreal visuals are irresistibly addictive.

bye-bye 999Gesu no Kiwami Otome.

The last track on Gesu no Kiwami Otome’s first album, “Miryoku ga Sugoi yo,” released in 2014, is “bye-bye 999.” Unusually for a Gesu Kiwami song, it features an acoustic sound and is a laid-back number centered on Enon Kawatani’s spoken delivery.

The contrast between the narration—which conveys a feeling that borders on resignation toward the world—and the melodious, heartrending chorus is especially compelling.

If you’re still hung up after a breakup, sometimes it’s best to let go.

Listen to “Miryoku ga Sugoi yo” and move on to your next love!

Gesu no Kiwami Otome is a four-piece mixed-gender band formed in 2012, centered around guitarist and vocalist Enon Kawatani.

At the time of its formation, all the members also belonged to other bands.

The band’s unique name was borrowed from text printed on a tote bag owned by pianist chanMari, which the members liked.

Most of the songwriting and composing is done by Enon Kawatani, who drew attention for his unusually fast writing pace.

Kawatani is also known for juggling multiple bands, for most of which he handles songwriting and composition.

YDYGesu no Kiwami Otome.

A cool and sophisticated 16-beat track I recommend is “YDY” by Gesu no Kiwami Otome.

Among the band’s songs, it’s one where keyboardist Chan Mari really shines.

Released as a digital single in 2020, it features Chan Mari sharing lead vocals with Enon Kawatani.

The piano steadily lays down phrases packed with fine 16th notes, and its interplay with the drums’ hi-hat is groovy and super cool.

AomiGesu no Kiwami Otome.

This is a fascinating track by Gesu no Kiwami Otome, where Enon Kawatani’s playful spirit shines through an arrangement that’s full of curveballs—from the distinctly classical intro to the rap and beats.

The interplay among the rhythm-driving bass, piano, and vocals is exquisite, creating a danceable groove that naturally gets your body swaying.

It’s an addictive song with a groove that only Gesu no Kiwami Otome could pull off.

When it comes to Gesu no Kiwami Otome, many people might picture Enon Kawatani, the band’s central figure who writes and composes their songs.

However, every member of the band has excellent musicianship, and among them, keyboardist Chan Mari is a standout with a background in classical and jazz.

Her uniquely airy, floating tonal sense makes the band’s sound even more vibrant.

“Maruka,” included on the 2020 album Streaming, CD, Record, is a stylish track overflowing with mature allure! Its sound exudes a bewitching atmosphere, and the vocals convey a languid mood as if everything has been given up—both are striking features of the song.

To capture the track’s exquisite looseness, it’s recommended to play it with a deliberate, relaxed feel rather than too precisely.

The syncopation-heavy, complex rhythms can be quite challenging, but if you play exactly as written, it can lose its charm.

Listen to the original, expand your image of the groove, and practice with that feel in mind.
