MONGOL800’s classic and popular songs

MONGOL800 is a three-piece rock band from Okinawa.

With undeniably classic songs like “Chiisana Koi no Uta” and “Anata ni,” many people likely covered them when they first started their own bands.

The masterpiece “MESSAGE,” which includes the two songs above, was released while they were in college.

When you think about it, it’s remarkable that an album released by a college band became a million seller.

Please enjoy the music of a group that supported the early days of Japan’s melodic hardcore scene.

TayutautaMONGOL800

This piece is included on the album “GOOD MORNING OKINAWA,” released in February 2013 by the popular Okinawan rock band MONGOL800.

Created after the earthquake and originally provided to Tokiko Kato, it is also a self-cover of that track.

It’s said that in live performances, the atmosphere shifts—refreshing the mood of the venue in a positive way.

The lyrics, which express emotions and moments swaying between the everyday and the extraordinary, will likely resonate with anyone who feels the joys and sorrows of life.
