Kishidan’s famous and popular songs

We’d like to introduce songs by Kishidan, a rock band that performs in a “Yank Rock” style—a fusion of punk rock and the Japanese delinquent (yankee) aesthetic.

Their unwavering commitment to the yankee concept, sharp sense of humor, and undeniable rock-band cool all coexist.

And where can you fully savor their appeal? It has to be their live shows.

One moment you’ll be laughing at their witty MCs, the next you’ll be captivated by their tight performances—and when the chorus hits, everyone joins in the choreography for a good time.

It’s a packed experience.

So, with those live scenes in mind, please enjoy this playlist.

Kishidan’s Classic and Popular Songs (41–50)

We think, therefore we are.Kishidan

This song from the rock band Kishidan delivers a forward-looking, passionate message about life—one of the tracks we most want graduates to hear.

Its title, evocative of Descartes’ famous proposition “I think, therefore I am,” leaves a strong impression.

Meanwhile, the lyrics weave a bond with friends, urging us to live, to spend our days as we wish, together.

The message—let’s keep living side by side from here on—is sure to move you.

It’s brimming with Kishidan’s trademark fiery spirit and an inviting, catchy melody.

TokyoKishidan

Kishidan sings about Tokyo with a melody full of speed and drive! This song is included on the album “Nihonjin.” It feels like a declaration of resolve from the band itself—an anthem about forging ahead in the city of Tokyo.

There’s anxiety, pain, and fear, but they sense something calling to their hearts from the city and charge forward.

In a sense, it suggests a fateful guidance coming from Tokyo itself.

I hope Kishidan keeps blazing ahead just like this song!

It’s a famous song by Kazuyoshi Saito that many artists still cover today.

Personally, I have a faint, romantic memory of falling for it after seeing a senior lead a band and sing it at my high school culture festival.

Its gentle melody and relaxed tempo are truly captivating.

Saturday spent with friends burns vividly in “We Only Have Saturdays.” Some of you may recall memories from an intensive, camp-like period.

Released in 2005 as their ninth single, it’s a Saturday song packed with pure Kishidan style.

From the title alone you can feel the rock ’n’ roll—its dance-like guitar and bass lines are wonderfully satisfying.

It conjures the image of riding a motorcycle with total abandon.

A man’s heart living in the moment while cutting loose, a song of blessing that resonates at a farewell between friends.

It makes you want to fully enjoy the things you can do precisely because it’s Saturday.

This song is often performed as a wedding reception piece, but rather than the full-on party vibe typical of Kishidan, it’s an uptempo track that everyone can sing and dance to together.

Just when you think the music video is going to tug at your heartstrings, it’s packed with Kishidan’s trademark humor, which is another part of its charm.

The heartfelt friendship and love that sends someone off into a new chapter with all its might really hits home.
