The lyrics hit home! Porno Graffitti’s warm, fleeting masterpieces and fan favorites (11–20)
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.
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.
The fact that your favorite book was by KerouacPorunogurafiti
It’s a motivational song that gives a push to people who struggle to break out of their shells.
The familiar book-themed metaphors are quite amusing, aren’t they? Although it has a distinctive feel that makes the rhythm hard to catch, vocalist Okano sings it beautifully without difficulty, overwhelming listeners with his reliably powerful delivery.
Sheep ～song of teenage love soldier～Porunogurafiti
It’s a fun track where the pop, sparkling sound keeps going without a break from start to finish.
It sounds like a love song, yet it also feels like an anthem that gives us a push forward.
It blows away that frustrating feeling of not being able to take the first step—that endearing hesitation.
The rhythmic, buoyant sound is a real pleasure to listen to.
Moon KeeperPorunogurafiti
A bright, pop-rock sound carries on from the very beginning.
The scenes described in the lyrics are all beautiful, and the actions of the person who seems to be a lover are amusing, so I think the lyrics alone are enjoyable.
However, the harmony with guitarist Haruichi really enhances the cool, rock edge of the track, so be sure to give the song itself a proper listen, too.
palettePorunogurafiti
It’s a song about heartbreak, but instead of focusing on the pain and sorrow, it’s portrayed as if gently speaking to someone who’s hurting—a slightly mysterious piece.
It reminds you of something obvious that’s easy to forget in tough times: “Heartbreak is very painful and sad, but the world hasn’t changed at all, and nothing has been ruined.”

Pardon the excessPorunogurafiti
Bursting onto the scene with their debut single Apollo and remaining at the forefront of the J-pop world for years, the rock band PornoGraffitti returns.
Released for streaming in January 2026, this track was written as the opening theme for the TV anime Fire-Eating Bird: Yorihane no Kuni Borotonbi-gumi.
Guitarist Haruichi Shindo delved into the original novel, crafting lyrics that incorporate Japanese-style expressions aligned with the period-drama setting—words that are sure to resonate with people fighting their own battles in modern society as well.
It’s the band’s first attempt at a theme song for a historical piece.
When you want to start something new or fire yourself up, give it a listen—it’s guaranteed to give you a push forward.
