Kaneyori Masaru is a three-piece rock band that made their major-label debut in 2023, taking a human name for their group because it felt familiar and easy to come up with.

Neon Sign, a track from their third album, We Are Driven Onward, features an ensemble with tight, guitar-forward sound that feels lyrical.

Its message—wanting to connect with someone important not just on the surface, but at a deeper level—is something anyone can relate to.

With dramatic arranging that creates a strong hook, it’s a rock tune perfect for the colder seasons.
