Weather ArtisanPorno Graffitti
A song by Porno Graffitti, a two-piece rock band from Hiroshima Prefecture.
It’s included as the B-side to their 15th single, “Sister.” The crisp, buoyant intro and the band’s signature complex yet catchy melodies feel so pleasant, don’t they? The lyrics link shifting inner emotions with the ever-changing sky, which many listeners will likely find relatable.
It’s a track that stays close to hearts troubled by emotional ups and downs and makes you want to look up at the sky.
The Promised MorningPorno Graffitti
This is the song used in the “Knorr Cup Soup” commercial.
It charmingly captures the closeness of two people greeting the morning together.
It was included on the best album Joker.
The album title doesn’t really connect with the image of this song, but the singer’s usual convincing delivery makes it somehow intriguing.
EXITPorunogurafiti
Released as a single in 2011, PornoGraffitti’s 32nd single “EXIT” is a song set in the subway that portrays the aching heart of a man who wanted to become strong enough to answer her feelings—but couldn’t.
Rather than depicting the actual moment of parting, it expresses the inner turmoil within the man’s heart.
Along with the lyrics, the poignancy of the melody also evokes a profound sadness, making it a masterpiece.
Hard Days,Holy NightPorunogurafiti
