JUNRETsu’s classic and popular songs

This is a review of songs by the distinctive chorus group Junretsu.

The mood-kayō melodies, which carry a nostalgic Showa-era vibe, feel refreshingly new in today’s Japanese music scene—like they’ve come full circle!

Their official music videos, whose concepts amusingly contrast with the members’ visuals, are fun to watch and highly recommended.
