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!

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.

They are a four-piece rock band consisting of Kohei Saiki on guitar and chorus, Shota Watai on vocals and guitar, Masato Shirai on bass, and Ryo Katayama on drums and chorus.

They hail from Chiba Prefectural Sakura High School, where they formed a precursor band while still students.

The band name signifies a group positioned between two realms: “Halo,” which evokes something far beyond the bounds of imagination—the spherical region surrounding the outside of a galaxy—and “Four-and-a-half Tatami,” which symbolizes rawness and reality.

They’re a band marked by an accessible musical sensibility and a strikingly clear, translucent singing voice!
