Lyrics that hit home! Porno Graffitti’s warm and fleeting masterpieces and popular songs (1–10)
SaudadePorunogurafiti
First of all, “saudade” is a Portuguese word that carries meanings such as melancholy, longing, and a poignant sense of yearning.
This song vividly portrays the emotions of a farewell scene.
It skillfully captures the final moment, making it easy to empathize with.
Alongside “Apollo” and “Music Hour,” it is one of Porno Graffitti’s signature songs.
ROLLPorunogurafiti
A song that was also tied in with a commercial.
It opens with a gentle, subdued intro, but once the chorus hits, the feelings for her burst forth in a powerful vocal.
It’s a ballad, yet rich in variety, carrying emotions like frustration and longing for her.
The breadth of expression really showcases Porno’s seasoned craftsmanship.
Night FlightPorunogurafiti
A medium-tempo ballad included on the album “BUTTERFLY EFFECT.” Its softly drifting atmosphere is soothing, and combined with Akihito Okano’s expressive vocals, it gently tugs at the heartstrings.
I’ve heard it existed long before its release, and the lyrics, which depict the ebb and flow of emotions, are breathtakingly beautiful.
It makes you want to hold someone tight.

I seriously tried thinking about happinessPorunogurafiti
A happy pop sound spills out right from the intro.
The melody line is bright too, so it’s a song that makes the listener feel happy.
Just like the tone of the music, the lyrics are cheerful, filled with very positive words.
It even makes you want to take a moment to think about your own happiness.
Sunset, starry sky, and mePorunogurafiti
It’s a song themed around a breakup.
Even though the subject should be sad, it also has a bright side that doesn’t make it feel too sorrowful.
You can imagine the protagonist facing forward, ending the romance and moving on to the next step.
It’s lovely that both the tears and the farewell to love are expressed not just in plain words, but in a poetic way.
Push PlayPorunogurafiti
It’s bursting with energy! That’s the kind of song it is.
No matter which part of the lyrics you pick, they’re powerful and full of courage.
If you’re feeling a little tired, if something sad happened, or if you don’t know what to do, I really hope you’ll listen to it.
It will surely give you a push forward.
Where love callsPorunogurafiti
Porno Graffitti’s 13th single, “Ai ga Yobu Hou e,” is not rock-oriented but a sweet ballad.
It became a huge hit, spending nine consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Oricon charts.
I hope you’ll listen with attention to its sweet melodic lines and the poignant lyrics about love.
