Included on RADWIMPS’s album “Altcolony no Teiri,” released in March 2009, the track has been highly praised since its release for its style in which vocals that weave between singing and rapping race over a sound where programmed beats and live instruments collide intensely.
The depth of its lyrics is another major draw—it even won “BEST LYRIC OF LIFE” at the FM FESTIVAL LIFE MUSIC AWARD in 2009.

The vocalist is His Excellency Demon, who also appears as a commentator on news/variety programs and in commercials for a condo renovation company.

When I first listened to his “House of Wax,” I flinched at the shouting part, but now this song helps me relieve stress.
dislikeTHE ORAL CIGARETTES

KIRAI, the opening track of their major-label debut album The BKW Show!!, is a hysterical rock number set to a triple-meter beat.

It’s a shocking number with a superbly dramatic arrangement that evokes two sides of the same emotion.
