Hitorie’s famous and popular songs

HITORIE is a four-piece rock band that made its major debut in 2014 by launching an independent label under Sony.

The guitarist and vocalist is wowaka, who originally worked as a Vocaloid producer under the name ‘Genzōhi Tōhi-P’ (also known as ‘Kagerou Tōhi-P’), and they sometimes perform covers of his songs from that period.

Their sharp guitar riffs leave a strong impression, and the slightly idiosyncratic vocals are also highly captivating.

Hitorie’s Masterpieces and Popular Songs (21–30)

I, My & MeHitorie

With no intro, the music of words bursts out at full speed from the very start.

It’s a quintessentially HITORIE track, but what stands out is the recurring word “nai” in the lyrics.

“Nai” signifies an absence, a blank space, and it’s within those many blanks that the listener imagines—and a vast sense of unease is born.

The song’s whirlwind progression is exhilarating!

Hitorie is a three-piece rock band whose hallmark is songs that draw listeners in with an original worldview and sound.

Their fifth digital single, “Juggernaut,” makes a striking impact with its edgy guitar-riff sound.

The lyrics evoke an image of staying true to your core in a world that’s hard to live in, and they may deliver both courage and a jolt to those who keep suppressing themselves in daily life.

It’s an aggressive track whose cool rock ensemble will lift your spirits.

This is a song by Hitorie released in April 2024, chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Mushoku Tensei II.

Its lyrics, expressing deep sense of loss and a resolve toward the future, are moving and prompt you to confront your inner self.

Shinoda’s dramatic vocals and the high-velocity sound create a gripping tension, as if you’re in the midst of a battle—it’s electrifying.

It’s a track that can support you when you’re at a crossroads in life and facing problems with no easy answers.

Why not listen to this post-rock-style killer tune and take a moment to face yourself?

As expected from a major act, they have their own identity, the chorus is enjoyable, and their versatility and shareability really sharpen the senses.

The vocalist’s powerful voice is leading the band, isn’t it? I think it’s the epitome of a great frontman.

I thought it was great that you’re enjoying arranging with a band using guitar tracks.

Since practice is usually done alone, I also thought it’s fun to simply enjoy the guitar sounds themselves.

And if you’re interested, how about trying karaoke as well? I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

The main melody in the intro feels pleasant.

I really like the steady, understated vibe that follows from the first verse.

I think the reason we’re hearing a lot of similar arrangements lately is that they’re preserving the present moment.

That applies to this song as well, and I feel that who they will be from here on is also rooted in who they are right now.

This song, with its striking intro that kicks off with a drum roll and strummed guitar and bass, is included on the mini-album “ai/SOlate,” released in December 2017.

The intricately interwoven guitar riffs and the deeply undulating bass in the A and B sections, combined with a chorus that feels like an eruption of emotion, infuse the track with a vibrant sense of dynamism.
