Lyrics that hit home! PornoGraffitti’s warm and fleeting masterpieces and popular songs

Boy of Speculative SciencePorunogurafiti

This is a track included on the second album, “foo?”.

It features interesting sounds with strong electronica elements.

It’s also a track themed around robots, evoking a near-futuristic vibe.

While it brims with a sci-fi feel, it also carries a slightly bittersweet mood.

PornoGraffitti 'Mitsumete Iru' Guitar Solo Acoustic Cover

When it comes to songs about stalkers, many—or at least the ones that stand out—are told from a woman’s perspective.

This song, “Mitsumete Iru,” is a track sung from a male point of view, included as the B-side to Porno Graffitti’s massive 2000 hit “Saudade.” It’s a song whose lyrics also reflect the era of 2000, and it’s worth paying attention to that aspect.

How should I put it—there’s an intense sense of delusion, and that intensity accelerates as the song progresses, making it feel like having one-sided romantic feelings forced upon you.

Message — kotodute —Porunogurafiti

Message — Kotodute (oral message)

It’s a song with a gentle rock sound imbued with deep prayers and wishes.

The 55th single by Porno Graffitti, created with Hiroshima—marking 80 years since the atomic bombing—as its theme, it was released digitally in April 2025.

The track was used as the ending theme for NHK Hiroshima’s documentary program “Connect: Messages to the Future — Porno Graffitti Connects Through ‘Song.’” The program featured the background of the song’s production and conversations with atomic bomb survivors.

Give it a listen when you want to feel a commitment to peace or to quietly calm your mind.

Porno Graffitti 'Saudade' (“OPEN MUSIC CABINET” Live in Saitama Super Arena 2007) / 'Saudade (Live Ver.)'

A heartbreak song that pierces the chest.

Released in September 2000 as the theme song for a Pocari Sweat commercial, this track captivates with a unique world infused with Latin tones.

Its title—evoking “nostalgia” and “melancholy memories”—holds the feelings of a wistful man, expressed from a woman’s perspective.

The delicate portrayal of fading love likened to a sunset and the difficulty of mutual understanding is striking.

It’s a song that showcases PornoGraffitti’s musical range and their gift for putting emotion into words.

In the music video, special makeup transforms the members into elderly figures, underscoring the theme of time’s cruelty.

It’s also known as their first song performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

For those who want to face forward while carrying the pain of heartbreak, this song offers comfort.

2012SpaekPorunogurafiti

Porno Graffitti '2012 Spark' (PANORAMA×42 Special Live Package) / PORNOGRAFFITTI '2012 Spark (Live Ver.)'

The 35th single, and the theme song for the film “Ace Attorney.” Although “2012” appears in the lyrics read as “ni-sen juu-ni,” the title is pronounced “Two-Zero-One-Two Spark.” Befitting a movie theme, it’s a cool, intensely urgent, high-speed track.

Aokage - Porno Graffitti

This is a track included on the 3rd album, “The People Who Even Grasp the Clouds.” It’s a very gentle and heartrending song.

The sounds used have a sentimental feel that really hits home.

It’s a perfect song for a melancholy day.

Please give it a listen.

Love,too Death,tooPorunogurafiti

PORNOGRAPHTTI “Love, too Death, too (Short ver.)” / PORNOGRAPHTTI “Love, too Death, too (Short ver.)”

As the 26th single, it serves as the lead single for the best albums “PORNO GRAFFITTI BEST ACE” and “PORNO GRAFFITTI BEST JOKER,” and perhaps with its inclusion on “JOKER” in mind, the jacket features a skull emblem.

It’s a song that weaves profound love between a man and a woman into a Baroque-style melody.
