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!

Have you ever found yourself looking up at the sky when you’re frustrated that things aren’t going well, or struggling because they just won’t go right? Even at times like that, the sky is the same as always, and somehow it makes you steel yourself and realize that in the end, you’re the one who has to act.

This song is a full-throttle, exhilarating number that gives a push to take that next step after all that sky-gazing—a signature uptempo tune from early Good Morning America.

It’s also a fan favorite at live shows, a track that blasts away those murky feelings from the tip of your raised fist.

This song by Good Morning America, with its straightforward lyrics saying “We’ll meet again, right?”, leaves a strong impression.

While it sings about the anxieties of a long-distance relationship, the song’s exhilarating, fast-paced energy creates a refreshing contrast.

Perhaps this track can help ease those uneasy feelings, even just a little.

Among Good Morning America’s songs, this one is exceptionally poppy and catchy.

At live shows, the crowd gets hyped singing the chorus out loud from one to nine.

While the song gives an impression of being almost too pop, the lyrics are saying something really cool—so give it a listen while checking out the words.

I don’t want to dance to wallpaper music.guddō mōningu amerika

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that “I Don’t Want to Dance to Wallpaper Music” is the song that defined Good Morning America’s direction.

Written with the image of the audience at a live show in mind, the track was crafted to make people dance, using a four-on-the-floor kick and off-beat hi-hat for a danceable groove.

They balanced the ultra-pop, catchy sound by pairing it with lyrics that, in a sense, critique the song itself.

This blend—pop sensibility mixed with defiance and social satire, the hallmark of Good Morning America—began with this track.

This is a track from the 2016 album “Lead-Sky Stargazer.” It also became an original cheer song for Lotte Toppo.

The members said they wondered, “Why us?” but also took it as, “They want to deliver a message through us,” and approached the collaboration that way.

It’s an upbeat song about valuing each person’s individuality (their own color).

This song is another full-on example of Good Morning America’s signature style: pop-sounding music paired with critical lyrics.

The off-beat hi-hat is incredibly poppy and pleasant, and the “Yay yay!” part in the chorus is a real highlight where the audience can sing along at live shows.

This song, which was also used as a theme song for the Dragon Ball anime, is “Dear, Zarathustra.” Some parts of the lyrics connect to the Dragon Ball story, making them quite interesting.

On the other hand, the track itself is cool—the drum rhythms are especially slick—so give it a careful listen.
