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 (41–50)
sympathyKEYTALK
A song whose arrangement lifts your spirits: it starts with a mysterious A verse featuring radio-like synthesizer tones, flows into a B verse where a wave of wistfulness wells up, and then opens into a chorus that feels like the sun suddenly breaking through.
The intro, beginning with two guitars, also hints at the fun that lies ahead.
KEYTALK’s classic and popular songs (51–60)
seaKEYTALK
KEYTALK has been a leading presence in the Japanese rock scene and remains a hugely popular band, constantly in demand at festivals.
Their 2019 release “Umi” (“Sea”) is, as the title suggests, themed around the ocean.
Its slightly nostalgic sound differs from KEYTALK’s usual musical style, showcasing the band’s wide range.
orenge and cool soundsKEYTALK
These days, it’s the song used during the live performance when Teranaka, the guitar-vocal, does his chug-a-beer bit.
It’s sung entirely in English and has been performed since the indie days of real, KEYTALK’s predecessor.
Both the band sound and the lyrics are incredibly stylish.
Lala RhapsodyKEYTALK
La-La Rhapsody, released by KEYTALK in 2019.
This song was written as the theme for KAGOME’s “GO!ME.” campaign, which is based on the concept of supporting the performance of people who push forward every day.
Set to a lively, fast-paced band sound, it delivers a message to everyone living their daily lives with all their might.
DE’DEVIL DANCERKEYTALK
The song “DE’DEVIL DANCER” is packed with that festive KEYTALK vibe.
A big part of that festival feel surely comes from the rhythm section: a bassline tearing it up with octave playing, a four-on-the-floor dance beat, and when you weave it all together with 16th-note hi-hats, any live house is guaranteed to go wild.
Then they nail the rhythm changes, and with the gloriously unrestrained guitar and the sexy vocals, it’s a guitar-rock banger brimming with danceable appeal!
SHSSKEYTALK
It’s a cool, stylish track, but the music video has a bit of playful humor that makes it fun.
The bass delivers a powerful low-end thump that’s irresistible for fans of deep tones.
Although it’s from their indie days, it’s extremely popular and is still often performed on tour.
YURAMEKI SUMMERKEYTALK
A perfect summer up-tempo tune to open her third full-length album, “HOT!”.
Handclaps and whistle-raps add spice, amping up both the track and the mood.
It’s also fun how the guitar solo suddenly shifts into a sultry vibe that evokes a fleeting summer adventure.
