Macaroni Enpitsu “Spring Storm” from Macarock ONLINE One-Man ~With Love from Toyosu~

Spring Storm seeps into the heart with its honest, unadorned words carried by a gentle, restrained piano.

It’s included on CHOSYOKU, the album released in 2017 by the rapidly rising band Macaroni Empitsu.

The tempo is laid-back, like taking a leisurely walk.

Because it’s unhurried, the lyrics tend to stick in your ears.

The words are chosen to allow for various interpretations, making it a song that can accompany any emotion or situation.

It’s a track I especially want people to hear in spring, when circumstances often change and you might find yourself exhausted from trying so hard to keep up with the flow around you.

It doesn’t meltmakaroni enpitsu

Macaroni Enpitsu “Tokenai” MV

Mokenai (Won’t Melt) has become familiar as the tie-in song for the Seventeen Ice web commercial.

It’s a coming-of-age song that Hattori wrote based on personal experiences.

The first half gently sings about the sadness of youth coming to an end, while the second half shifts gears and delivers a rap-style depiction of inner conflict.

You’ll feel as satisfied as if you had listened to two songs.

You’ll probably struggle more with the faster-tempo latter half, so focus your practice there.

Macaroni Empitsu "Saraba" Music Video

An emotional number by Macaroni Empitsu that wraps bittersweet feelings of love in a refreshing sound.

Chosen as the opening theme for the anime “Blue Box,” it was released in January 2025.

It depicts the pain and inner conflict of unrequited love set to a beautiful melody, with lyrics that resonate and invite instant empathy.

Hattori’s expressive vocals convey both poignancy and warmth at the same time, making this a wonderful track.

It’s also a great choice for karaoke.

Give it a listen when you want to sort out your feelings or reaffirm your thoughts about someone important to you.

Where the soul belongsmakaroni enpitsu

Macaroni Enpitsu “Place for the Soul” MV

When you feel so overwhelmed you want to run away, even confiding in someone can become exhausting.

For anyone feeling that way, I recommend Macaroni Empitsu’s “Tama-shii no Ibasho” (“A Place for the Soul”).

Released as a single in 2022, it was also featured in a Nissan SAKURA commercial.

Being told to “hang in there” can be painful and even add pressure, right? This song gently offers full acceptance—at first it sounds like it’s presenting blunt, correct logic, but then it turns around and says, “That’s not it, is it?” and stands by your side.

Macaroni Enpitsu “Ikiru wo Suru” MV

Macaroni Enpitsu is a four-piece rock band.

Their song “Ikiru o Suru” was selected as the opening theme for the anime Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai.

Their band sound carries a touch of nostalgia, making it both approachable and addictive.

Vocalist Hattori’s voice balances gentleness with strong punch, the kind you can listen to endlessly.

A hallmark of this track is that the arrangement shifts several times throughout.

It’s a song to play when you want not only speed but also emotional punch.

Macaroni Enpitsu “Youth and a Moment” MV

A pop-rock number by Macaroni Enpitsu! The lyrics, which depict both the fleeting nature and the brilliance of youth, really hit home.

Released in March 2019 as a digital-only single, it was also featured in a McDonald’s Japan commercial.

Included on the album “season,” this song is a fan favorite that’s often performed live.

It’s characterized by a driving band sound and lyrics that portray the struggles and shine of young people.

With a message about cherishing every moment of youth, it resonates strongly with listeners.

To all high school students nearing graduation, you might be feeling anxious about what’s next.

But why not listen to this song and throw yourself into enjoying this very moment?

“Kiss o Shiyou,” released in February 2022, is also included on their major-label first full album, “Happy End e no Kitai wa.” During the nationwide tour following its release, they reportedly performed this song in an acoustic style.

Carried by the sound of the guitar, the gentle lyrics—tinged with a certain wistfulness and a sense of love—slip effortlessly into your heart.
