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.
