The ensemble—marked by a distinctive combination of programmed beats and upright bass—pairs with a wistful melody to create a truly addictive sound.

Released in July 2018 as a digital-only single, it was featured in NTT Docomo’s “5G” commercial, which greatly boosted the band’s recognition.
The lyrics, repeatedly evoking images of flashes and explosions, seem to express the strength of living fully in the present moment.
While the song exudes an overwhelming presence in live performances and may feel a bit challenging with its rapid-fire delivery, the vocal range isn’t particularly high—so listen closely and give it a try!

Their 6th single, “Stardom,” chosen as NHK’s soccer theme song in 2022, is a track whose delicate vocals and rich, full-bodied sound amplify the sense of anticipation.
The swiftly shifting arrangement is quintessentially King Gnu and perfectly suited to a sports theme song.
Just listening will get you hyped, and if you can nail it at karaoke, you’re guaranteed to be a hero—an undeniable upper tune.

Through the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and experiences on the train, it captures the city’s distinctive atmosphere.
Centered on rock while incorporating diverse elements such as hip-hop and funk, it showcases their signature “Tokyo New Mixture” style.
Released in October 2017, this song epitomizes the band’s experimental musicality.
Blending the chaos and diversity of urban life with bold new musical approaches, it’s recommended for listeners who want to explore new musical possibilities while feeling the air of Tokyo.
on the stageKing Gnu
King Gnu’s vocals are primarily handled by Satoru Iguchi, but there are songs where Daiki Tsuneta takes the lead.
One of those is Danjo.
While many of their other tracks feature Iguchi as a co-lead in a twin-vocal setup, this song puts Tsuneta in the spotlight as the lead vocalist.
The melody is somewhat complex, but because the song’s structure is quite orthodox compared to their other works, it should be relatively easy to sing.
Be sure to check it out.
