Chakura – Disgust (Official Music Video)

Let me introduce a song that marks a new frontier for Chakra, the four-piece band known for their ‘headlong-charge girls’ band’ tagline.

Released as a digital single in September 2025, this track stands out by weaving piano tones into their traditionally intense guitar rock, bringing the nuances of emotion into sharper focus.

The lyrics, written in down-to-earth language, pierce the heart as they capture the exhaustion of human relationships and feelings that can’t be neatly resolved.

When you’re frustrated from hitting a wall in your studies, or on nights when tangled emotions keep you from concentrating, Sakura’s emotional vocals will speak for your confusion and help dissolve it.

This fan-beloved masterpiece, which gained support alongside their nationwide tour, is the perfect number for settling your mind and getting back to your desk.

The Babysitters, affectionately known as “Babishi,” are a girls’ band from Nagoya.

It’s a love song I’d recommend to anyone who likes cute bands.

The lineup has changed many times, but vocalist Momoko Hayashi is the only original member, and she writes all the songs and lyrics by herself.

Many of the lyrics use complex expressions, but most of them are about love and life.

If you listen closely to the lyrics, you’ll find them really interesting!

This piece condenses the subtle distance and complexity of human relationships into just 100 seconds.
