I Won’t Turn Off My RadioKen Yokoyama
A track from Ken Yokoyama’s 3rd EP, “I Won’t Turn Off My Radio.” With a signature Ken Yokoyama rock sound and lyrics that radiate the strength to defy any talk of a new generation taking over, it’s a song that showcases Ken’s undiminished presence.
Last Train HomeKen Yokoyama
With gentle words laid over an energetic two-beat and ferocious sound, it comes together as a song that’s unmistakably Ken Yokoyama.
The lyrics—telling you to forget today’s sorrows because there’s always tomorrow—really hit home when you’re feeling down.
Longing(A Quiet Time)Ken Yokoyama
A gentle, warm song that pours out unrequited feelings over an acoustic guitar.
It’s under three minutes long, but it’s packed with Ken Yokoyama’s heartfelt emotions.
I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with love.
PressureKen Yokoyama
It’s included on the second single, “Not Fooling Anyone.” While the single’s title track is the third track, this song is placed first.
Set to a fast pace that evokes the start of a new work, it sings of liberation from pressure and stress.
Save UsKen Yokoyama
This is a song included on “Best Wishes,” released in November 2012.
The music video seems to have war as its theme.
Watching the MV together with the lyrics evokes many feelings, and it’s not a song that can be summed up in a single phrase.
As for the “to be continued” at the end of the MV, some say it means a continuation of this song will be made, while others interpret it as the loop of hatred toward war continuing.
It’s a very thought-provoking song.
Stay GoldKen Yokoyama
A self-cover of a classic by Ken Yokoyama’s own band, Hi-STANDARD—one that everyone has heard.
Despite being released in 1999, many people still hit maximum hype the moment the intro starts; it’s a staple anthem for live-show kids.
We are fuckin oneKen Yokoyama
It’s included as the first track on the 5th album, “Best Wishes.” While it’s an aggressive, fast-paced song, it’s also characterized by a melody that somehow suggests gentleness.
The lyrics share that atmosphere as well, making it a track that conveys their signature warmth—showing that even a punk rocker can reach out a helping hand.
