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

SisterPorunogurafiti

Porno Graffitti 'Sister (Short ver.)' / PORNOGRAFFITTI 'Sister (Short Ver.)'

15th single.

The first single by the newly reborn Porno Graffitti after bassist Tama left the band.

Unusually for Porno Graffitti, this song has no guitar solo.

It’s a song that seems to include a message to the former member: “Even far apart, our friendship won’t change.”

Neo-MelodramaticPorunogurafiti

PORNOGRAFFITTI ‘Neo Melo Dramatic (Short ver.)’

One of the two A-sides of their 17th single.

It’s a song that, like early Porno Graffitti, absolutely demands quick, nimble vocals to sing.

It’s a fiery track that seems to ignite the heart when your pure feelings get worn down by the monotony of everyday life, or when your dreams and goals don’t go well and you feel like a nail that gets hammered down.

Listen to it with an energy drink in hand, and it’ll really get you pumped up.

PORNOGRFFITTI 'Luck (Short ver.)' / PORNOGRAFFITTI 'Lack (Short Ver.)'

14th single.

A pre-release single for the LIVE tour “74ers,” issued as the first fully limited production of 100,000 copies.

Rock sound with aggressive lyrics.

With composition by bassist Tama, it showcases a different side of Porno Graffitti.

This track is also the last single from Tama’s tenure, and his final A-side composition.

VoicePorunogurafiti

Porno Graffitti “Voice (Short ver.)” / PORNOGRAFFITTI “Voice (Short Ver.)”

As their 7th single, it achieved sales second only to “Agehachou.” It is also the band’s first ballad, a song wishing for a meeting with a precious person they are destined to encounter someday.

It was performed as the opening number on the 2004 live tour “74er.”

You are 100%Porunogurafiti

PORNOGRAFFITTI 'You Are 100% (Short ver.)' / PORNOGRAFFITTI 'Kimi wa 100% (Short ver.)'

First performed with the 31st single during the latter half of the live tour “11th LIVE CIRCUIT ‘∠ TARGET.’” With a simple, catchy opening that anyone can relate to and lyrics that give you courage, this song has surely encouraged more than a few people.

Under the Twinkling StarsPorunogurafiti

Porno Graffitti 'Under the Twinkling Stars' (PANORAMA×42 Special Live Package) / 'Under the Twinkling Stars (Live Ver.)'

For their 37th single, it served as the opening theme for the nationwide MBS/TBS network TV anime Magi.

With an up-tempo rock sound, the chorus—“In a boundless wilderness, let’s walk while holding close the guide that shows the way; the world will shine, even if only a little”—strongly conveys a message of believing in oneself.

SaudadePorno Graffitti

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

Porno Graffitti’s “Saudade” is an irresistibly upbeat song with lyrics and melody that are both incredibly cool.

When you’re feeling down, listen to it and blow away the bad vibes.

For kids, it has a slightly grown-up atmosphere.
