Recommended songs by King Gnu: a curated selection of masterpieces that will get you hooked (31–40)
Small planetKing Gnu
Set to an exhilarating rock sound, this song affirms the small joys found in everyday life.
It was included on the album “CEREMONY,” released in January 2020, and was selected as the tie-in track for Honda’s new VEZEL commercial.
The lyrics feature striking imagery that symbolizes freedom and celebrates simple, fleeting moments of happiness.
It’s a track that fully showcases King Gnu’s distinctive musicality, and one we hope people who feel worn out by daily life will listen to.
Among King Gnu’s songs, which are often difficult to sing, this one is relatively easy, so give it a try at karaoke!
ruptureKing Gnu
When you think of King Gnu, flashy and complex melodies are striking, but there are also songs with unconventional yet simple and gentle melodies reminiscent of Yura Yura Teikoku.
“Haretsu” is one such piece.
From the beginning through the middle, it maintains a quiet melody, then gradually raises the voltage partway through.
Even so, its calm and ennui-like impression remains unchanged.
While falsetto appears—bringing a certain difficulty—it doesn’t require vocal techniques like breath control or long sustained notes.
Brilliant RainKing Gnu
A four-piece rock band dubbed the “Tokyo New Mixture Style,” born from each member’s high musicality and diverse backgrounds.
Their name comes from the gnu, which forms increasingly large herds from spring onward in nature, reflecting their desire to grow into a large herd together with a wide range of listeners.
Though their ensemble may sound complex at first listen, their songs distill it into accessible pop, clearly pointing toward the direction the band aims to pursue.
It’s a name to consider when choosing a new band name—one that helps reaffirm the direction you want to take.
Tears aren’t just for show.King Gnu
Included on the 2019 release Inoue Yosui Tribute Album, “Kazarijanai no yo Namida wa” as sung by King Gnu.
While it’s also one of Akina Nakamori’s signature songs, originally released in 1984, hearing King Gnu’s version gives it a completely different vibe—and you can really feel the allure of a male vocal.
Since many artists have covered it, it’s widely known across generations, which also makes it an easy pick.
Having a man sing it adds a certain depth and maturity, offering a charm distinct from versions sung by women.
BedtownKing Gnu
If you want to sing King Gnu’s songs, you probably already have a decent level of vocal ability.
Among you, many might be confident in your high notes, right? For those people, I recommend Bedtown.
Since the song features a lot of low-range falsetto, it should be very singable for those who are good at falsetto.
If falsetto isn’t your strong suit, there are many parts that are intentionally sung in falsetto even though they’re within chest-voice range, so feel free to try singing those parts in chest voice instead.
