KEYTALK's classic and popular songs
Let me introduce some songs by KEYTALK, a band known for their fun tracks often described as four-on-the-floor rock.
While many of their songs are catchy and poppy with a four-on-the-floor beat as the foundation, their background surprisingly includes jazz and classical influences.
Teranaka (vo./gt.) has experience in wind ensemble, and Ono (gt.) has a background in classical guitar.
What’s more, the band name KEYTALK is said to come from “Keytalk,” a piece by Hiromi Uehara, one of Japan’s leading jazz pianists.
If you listen with that unexpected background in mind, you might hear their music in a whole new way.

KEYTALK’s classic and popular songs (21–30)
The city at sunset, nowKEYTALK
Since their indie days, this has been the song that gets the crowd most fired up at live shows.
It’s often performed during the encore, with the members cutting loose as they play—almost a tradition now.
It’s a track fans can really get into.
Although the band has two vocalists, only Teranaka, the guitarist-vocalist, sings on this one.
The guitar melody, in particular, really sticks in your head.
It’s fading away.KEYTALK
It’s a medium-tempo ballad with a gentle mood throughout.
The irregular meter in the A section is the kind of “acquired taste” that gets cooler the more you listen—like a piece of dried squid you keep chewing on.
The way it ends, leaving a lingering aftertaste as if it’s “fading away,” also adds to the atmosphere and is part of its charm.
OrionKEYTALK
Orion, sung by the rock band KEYTALK, is their 11th digital-only single, released in 2020.
It was also included on their album ACTION!, released the following year, which reached No.
9 on the Oricon Albums Chart.
The song was chosen as the campaign song for Winter Aloha 2021, a project sharing information to enjoy the winter season, and its lyrics about winter romance are truly heartwarming.
The contrast between the ballad-like intro and the exhilarating, fast-paced dance beat of the chorus is irresistible.
On a night in WarsawKEYTALK
This is a song by KEYTALK, a four-member rock band from Tokyo.
It is included on their 2018 album “Rainbow.” It’s a straightforward rock number that expresses a positive feeling: the future they’ve been aiming for is just around the corner.
coasterKEYTALK
KEYTALK’s debut single.
It may seem breezy, but its playfully unpredictable melodic development and poppy lyrics are captivating.
It’s a track packed with the essence of the band, who have incorporated a variety of genres—perfect for a debut single.
Tokyo CinemaKEYTALK
This is KEYTALK’s “Tokyo Cinema,” which was used in the 2018 Red Cross Movement Month commercial.
In July 2018, they released the single “Cheers!”, titled after their collaboration with Shuzo Matsuoka on an original C.C.
Lemon song.
They’re a highly popular band—popular enough to hold a solo concert at Makuhari Messe in September 2018.
The melody is wonderful.
a leafKEYTALK
A rare KEYTALK song with English lyrics.
The melody, sung sweetly over a repeating, stylish pop arpeggio, is striking.
In the chorus, there’s a heart-wrenching poignancy that conjures an image of the chilly autumn wind caressing the leaves, with a touch of loneliness.
