AIRCRAFT 'Ray' Official Music Video

AIRCRAFT is an alternative rock band from Osaka, formed in 2021.

While they’re categorized as an alternative rock band, their sound is strikingly catchy—almost on par with J-pop—which has been steadily winning them fans in the Japanese rock scene.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Kōsen (Light Beam).

It features an appealing, Heisei-era rock sound, and although there are a few falsetto parts, they’re not particularly high, so most singers should be able to handle them without trouble.

Both the rhythm and the vocal lines are extremely catchy and straightforward, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.

A coming-of-age love song that weaves the story of two people against the backdrop of a city wrapped in the stillness of midnight.

Created by singer-songwriter AKASAKI and released in November 2024, it blends a retro-pop melody with lo-fi textures to evoke a wistful mood.

The lyrics delicately capture ephemeral feelings of love and the untouchable distance between two hearts, resonating strongly with young listeners.

It’s the perfect BGM for a nighttime stroll date.
