Ikimono-gakari’s famous and popular songs

Live, brilliantlyikimonogakari

Live, brilliantly

This song was written as the opening theme for the sixth season of the TV anime Kingdom, and the phrase in the title, “Ikite, Sansan,” really sticks in your ears.

The range isn’t too high or too low; it sits comfortably in a register that’s easy for women to sing.

It’s also easy to catch the tempo, so it’s highly recommended for those who think they’re tone-deaf! The melody isn’t difficult either, so it’s best to sing each phrase carefully.

Rather than keeping a blank face, try raising your eyebrows and using expressive gestures, as if you’re tracing the pitch with your hands.

Also, if you sing the beginning of the C section a bit more strongly, your voice will project well and it should feel great to sing!

We’ve always

This is a song that was featured in U-Can’s 2012 campaign commercial, and it showcases the powerful energy that Ikimono-gakari possesses.

The upbeat tempo, bright melody, and arrangement leaning into a band sound—all of it is flawless.

It makes for a great motivational anthem.

Beautiful personikimonogakari

[90 consecutive days of covers] “Uruwashiki Hito” by Ikimono-gakari (by Clover) Top 3 of 2007

It’s a song that sticks in my memory as the CM tune for Coca-Cola’s “Aquarius Vitamin Guard.” With a straightforward, almost band-like groove, it’s become a staple that always gets the crowd going at live shows.

Apparently, it was actually inspired by a song from the band the members were in before Ikimono-gakari.

Ikimono-gakari “Hot Milk”

Apparently the member isn’t good with hot milk, but this song has a warmth that feels just like it.

It has an energy and catchy vibe that totally explains why the crowd breaks into a big sing-along at live shows, and it gives you a comforting, embracing sense of security.

Capricious Romantic – Ikimono-gakari (Full)

This is the song that was used as the theme for the TV drama “Celeb to Binbō Tarō.” The pixel-art backgrounds and choreographed dance in the music video are cute and memorable.

The choreography is also performed at live shows, making it one of the songs that gets the crowd excited and creates a sense of unity with the audience.

Maiden in Loveikimonogakari

Ikimono-gakari Koi Suru Otome

It’s the ending theme for the TV show “Renai Bukatsu (Love-Katsu).” It’s a rearranged version of a track that was originally included on an indie album, and it’s said to be “the first song I consciously wrote for a girl to sing.” However, the lyrics are so girlish that it’s hard to believe they were written by a man, so I hope you’ll pay close attention when you listen.

Ikimono-gakari 'Haru Uta Music Video (Short ver.)'

This is the theme song for the Toho-distributed film Detective Conan: The Eleventh Striker.

Unusually for an Ikimonogakari single, the acoustic guitarist Yamashita wrote both the lyrics and the music.

The evocative lyrics, which call to mind the film’s ending, are wonderful.
