MelissaPorunogurafiti
Their 12th single served as the first opening theme for the MBS/TBS anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
The lyrics were written by guitarist Haruichi Shindō—who penned most of their songs at the time—consciously reflecting the anime’s story with the theme of “self-sacrifice.” The music video is also narrative-driven, featuring vocalist Akihito as a jester, guitarist Haruichi as a knight, and bassist Tama as a scientist.

This song is included on the 3rd album, “The People Who Even Grasp the Clouds.” It’s a slow-tempo track that you can listen to in a relaxed mood.
However, the chorus is highly emotional and brimming with passion.
The lyrics are also deeply moving and really hit home.
Chameleon LensPorunogurafiti
Chameleon Lens is a song by Porno Graffitti released as their first single of 2018.
It served as the theme song for the drama Holiday Love.
The drama depicts a husband’s infidelity and the couple’s painful struggle to rebuild their relationship.
It’s a show that will hit home for those who treat cheating lightly.
While theme songs for infidelity dramas often feel dark, this track isn’t gloomy and is characteristically Porno Graffitti.
Apollo (Hiroshima dialect ver.)Porunogurafiti
A song that radiates pride and love, sung in the Hiroshima dialect.
The local-version debut single by Porno Graffitti, released in September 1999, gained instant attention when it was used as the ending theme for the TBS program “Koko ga Hen da yo Nihonjin.” Its poetic imagery intertwines the grand dream of a moon landing with the stirrings of romance, made even more approachable by the warmth of Hiroshima-ben.
It’s the perfect track for anyone seeking a sense of nostalgia and hope for the future, or for those who want to experience the charm of Hiroshima through music.

A New DayPorunogurafiti
This commercial conveys a sense of comfortable, exhilarating driving through the image of Satoshi Tsumabuki behind the wheel of an Impreza.
It unfolds with a moment in everyday life—a casual curve—that brings to mind the hairpin turn in Monaco, and his expressions clearly communicate the excitement.
Further accentuating the refreshing atmosphere of the car speeding through is Porno Graffitti’s “A New Day.” The band’s signature powerful yet invigorating sound, together with the light, airy vocals layered on top, expresses a genuine sense of exhilaration.
As the title suggests, it’s a song that seems to capture the thrill of moving toward a new day.
King & QueenPorunogurafiti
At times, you might find yourself losing confidence.
In moments like that, “King & Queen” is there to tell you, “It’s okay.” This song was written by Porno Graffitti as the theme for the 2017 World Grand Champions Cup.
Its lyrics are crafted to both inspire listeners and gently embrace them.
As you listen, pay attention to how the song defines “strength.” You might discover something new.
