Hit and popular songs by Kinoko Teikoku
Let me introduce some songs by the four-piece rock band, Kinoko Teikoku.
They began full-fledged activities in 2008, originally crafting a sound influenced by shoegaze.
It might be a bit hard to imagine, given their current laid-back vibe and emo feel.
However, even now, you can sense traces of that influence in parts of their songs—or, depending on the track, throughout—and I think music fans will find some interesting discoveries in their work.
As for the origin of their band name, it’s said to come from guitarist A-chan’s mushroom-like personality and the fact that the members were fans of Yura Yura Teikoku—hence “Kinoko Teikoku.”
Now, please enjoy Kinoko Teikoku’s songs, full of allure and emo sensibility, with a charm that at times evokes shoegaze.

There are many parts you only grasp after repeated listens, and the subtle touches give it real musical depth.
Highly recommended if you like “slow-burn” tracks.
It’s long, but worth every minute.
Shadows of Summerkinoko teikoku
It was a digital-only second single, released on August 29, 2016.
With the intent of conveying a sense of “challenge,” this track incorporates a reggae rhythm pattern, and it seems like it would lend itself to a side-to-side groove at live shows.
The sound also feels considerably clearer than before.
After the rainkinoko teikoku
The arpeggiated tone of the acoustic guitar resonates with a certain nostalgia, and the vocals by Chiaki Sato give the impression of singing at a lower pitch than usual.
Like an ‘aesthetics of restraint,’ the exquisite arrangement shines with the absence of unnecessary sounds.

A track from their major first album, “Cats and Allergies.” It’s perfect for summer: the vivid imagery that evokes a sweltering season contrasts beautifully with the phrase “pulling a 35°C cold hand,” which highlights both the thrill of summer and the poignancy of heartbreak, making it a pleasure to listen to.
WHIRLPOOLkinoko teikoku
This is the opening track of the mini-album “Uzu ni Naru,” released on May 9, 2012.
The lyrics are simple yet highly lyrical, evoking expansive scenes beyond the words themselves.
Over these lyrics and the passionate performance, a slightly cool, composed singing voice flows.
