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.
