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.
