Hide-and-seek

This is a song by GOOD ON THE REEL, a Japanese rock band formed by five members who met at the same vocational school in 2006.

It’s included on their eighth mini-album, “Hikari ni Mamirete,” released in 2018.

It’s a song that shines a light on loneliness.

A track from the 1st mini album “A Verse of the World.” It features a charming waltz rhythm, and the chorus that repeats “Thank you, I’m sorry, see you tomorrow” is especially memorable.

The lyrics are highly abstract, so it might be nice to imagine your own story as you listen.

Included on the 2nd mini album “The Two Schrodingers.” If you had to name a signature song by GOOD ON THE REEL, it would undoubtedly be this one.

The intertwining lines of the two guitars are beautiful, the chorus melody opens up expansively, and the lyrics are heartrending.

It’s the perfect track to discover GOTR, setting them apart from the so-called ‘Rockin’ On’-type bands.

A track from the 1st full album “From Inside a Transparent Umbrella.” Played with a straightforward eight-beat, this song is, I think, perfect for understanding the core sound of GOTR.

The words, melody, and dramatic development in the chorus, while reflecting the early sound, are highly polished.

A track from the 1st mini album “A Verse of the World.” Its literary lyrics are striking, and it’s one of the more popular songs from early GOTR.

The lyrics evoke the chill of winter.

The outro, repeating “All of me are you,” is unforgettable.
