Recommended songs by King Gnu: a curated selection of masterpieces that will get you hooked (31–40)
white dayKing Gnu
If you watched the drama Innocence: False Accusation Lawyer, you’ll know this one.
It’s a signature track by the mixed-genre rock band King Gnu, released as a digital single in 2019.
The overwhelming musicality, colored by technical performances, is irresistible.
With its stylish vibe, it might not sound that way at first, but it’s actually very emotional.
The message—pressing on toward tomorrow even if you have to cast everything aside—really hits home.
The sweet vocals are wonderful, too.
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.
King Gnu Live at TOKYO DOMEKing Gnu
King Gnu is a rock band that shot to prominence when their 2019 release “Hakujitsu” was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama Innocence: Wrongly Accused Lawyer.
Their Live at TOKYO DOME captures on film their first-ever Tokyo Dome concerts, which drew 100,000 attendees over two days.
It’s a great way to listen through songs that condense their broad musical range developed over nearly five years—perfect for anyone looking to get into King Gnu!

King Gnu MedleyKing Gnu
King Gnu is a four-piece rock band hailed as the Tokyo New Mixture Style, thanks to each member’s high level of musicianship and diverse musical backgrounds.
Their one-of-a-kind songs distill sophisticated, niche musicality into J-pop, consistently meeting fans’ expectations.
In this medley, you can fully experience King Gnu’s appeal with widely acclaimed Shironeko (Hakujitsu), the breezy, upbeat Teenager Forever, and the wistful Chameleon, among others.
It’s a medley with depth—be sure to pay attention to the intricate structures of each track as you listen.
OverflowKing Gnu
Here, I’d like to introduce a lesser-known song by King Gnu: “Overflow.” Although they often produce complex tracks, this one is unusually crafted as a straightforward alternative rock piece.
There are no key changes either, making it one of the easiest to sing among their works.
However, because the song emphasizes a sense of speed, you need to pay close attention to the flow.
It’s a good idea to memorize the phrases as if you were learning a rap.
