machine-gun talkPorunogurafiti
From the intro, it’s full-throttle rock that gets the fans hyped.
Feelings for a lover come pouring out in a torrent of machine-gun talk.
Is this what being head over heels is all about? The somewhat nostalgic rock sound pairs perfectly with vocalist Okano’s straightforward singing—simply put, it’s just plain cool.
A Night for OnePorunogurafiti
A world overflowing with love songs, and a protagonist who mocks the real world.
They go on to bare their fangs at the future and all sorts of things with biting irony, yet they also acknowledge the weakness in their own heart.
This song portrays the pain of being caught in that in-between.
It’s a reality song that depicts the struggle between dissatisfaction and vulnerability—feelings anyone can have.
ephemeralPorunogurafiti
This song features a uniquely distinctive melodic line that seems like it would be tough to sing at karaoke.
The lyrics are filled to the brim with beautiful expressions that make you think, “What a poet.” It portrays the feelings of unrequited love in Porno’s style, but it’s a song that takes those feelings in a positive light.
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.
