Good Morning America's best and most popular songs

Let me introduce some songs by Good Morning America, a four-piece rock band from Hachioji, Tokyo.

Among the members affectionately known as “Gudomo,” the one who really stands out is Tanashin, the bassist, who also serves as a kind of mascot for the band.

His signature look—hot pants and sunglasses—has become a staple, and his MCs at live shows really hype up the crowd.

By the way, those hot pants he wears are actually women’s sizes (lol).

Alright then, with this playlist: 3, 2, 1, fire!

Good Morning America’s Famous and Popular Songs (11–20)

It’s included on the mini-album “Sora Bakari Miteita” from their indie days.

It’s a grand, powerful song that portrays the struggle with the gap between the future one imagined as a boy and the person one is now, yet resolves to keep moving forward.

A song themed around Mother’s Day, “The Usual Way Home.” The older we get and the farther we live from home, the more we realize how significant our mothers are, and this song gives voice to those feelings.

It’s a gentle ballad, but the performance isn’t merely subdued—its appeal also lies in the cool touches, like the occasional drum fills and the guitar tones in places.

It’s included on the indie-era mini album “Sora Bakari Miteitā” (“I Was Only Looking at the Sky”).

The guitar sound in the intro is captivating.

Even as it portrays the shocking notion that the world keeps turning the same way no matter if someone dies somewhere, it channels that into a determination to live to the fullest from there—a song that conveys real strength.

Susukino! Tanashin/Good Morning America “Karatsu Kaze ga Fukitsukeru” — he tried playing it himself in the snow.

It is included in the second installment of the omnibus series planned by Good Morning America, “Ah, There’s Good Music Here.” It’s a breakup song that aches with memories of someone you once spent time with, yet the refreshing sound somehow conveys a powerful sense of moving forward.

Jet Coaster is a pop song with a cute charm that’s quintessentially Good Morning America.

Its music video is packed with playful touches and is a joy to watch.

It’s a rock ballad notable for vocalist-guitarist Kanehiro’s slightly idiosyncratic singing style.

I think this song encapsulates the appeal of Good Morning America.

Their ballads are beautifully crafted and resonate deeply.

The guitar riff in the intro is also very beautiful.

The performance builds more and more toward the second half, which is captivating.

This song, with its memorable music video themed around sumo wrestlers, is “Dispop Survivor.” While it projects a rather aggressive image, the offbeat hi-hat in the chorus gives it a catchy feel.
