Golden Bomber’s famous and popular songs

Let me introduce songs by Golden Bomber, a four-member band also known as Kinbaku, who are active in a brand-new style as a visual-kei air band.

At first glance they may seem goofy, but in fact they deliberately choose not to sign with a major label, insisting on working independently, and pursue their activities with strong conviction.

Their signature song is “Memeshikute,” which was the catalyst for their big break, but they have plenty of other catchy tracks that you’ll find yourself humming along to.

If you’ve never really listened to their music before, give this playlist a proper listen.

You might just end up becoming a fan.
