Halo at Yojohan’s iconic and popular songs

Let me introduce songs by Halo at Yojohan, a four-piece rock band that began activity in 2012 and has really come into its own over the past few years.

Their appeal lies, above all, in their straightforward style—what you could call ultra-orthodox, melody-driven guitar rock.

They’re one of the bands poised for even greater breakthroughs, so keep an eye on them!

The song that plays as the doodling-time BGM on the purikura machine “Midnight Deadline” (0:00 Time Limit) is “Living Dead Swimmer” by Halo at Yojohan.

Unfortunately, the band is currently on hiatus, but they enjoyed strong popularity—especially among younger listeners—under the nickname “Haro.” This track portrays dreams you can’t give up and the frustration of setbacks; it’s a song that anyone living through their youth can relate to more and more with each listen.

If you happened to discover it while taking purikura and were drawn in by its beautiful melody, go back and listen again with the lyrics in mind!

Don’t you feel that breakup songs sung by men from a woman’s perspective often pierce your heart—they’re almost unbearably bittersweet? This song, “Fuse” by Halo at Yojohan, is included on their major-label debut album “swanflight,” released in 2018.

People often say a fuse has blown or burned out, and here it portrays a love that ends abruptly—like a connection that suddenly snaps and is over.

It’s a sad and beautiful love song, achingly wistful, and somehow it feels as if a third party is observing that love from the outside, giving it an almost detached, impersonal quality.
